Long Week & Still Not Over

This week can't end soon enough. With the three 7:00 AM meetings I've had and the car issues with Jim, I can tell you my week hasn't been "dry". It's hard NOT to drink with all this car shit. I mean, why can't people just do their job and what they said they're going to do?! Needless to say, Jim's part that was supposed to be overnighted (on Monday) did not get delivered. Which means Jim's car did not get fixed. And of course Jim's brain, when frustrated and overwhelmed, doesn't think logically. Oh, and Jim also found out that he would need special bolts for the piece that's being replaced and of course these bolts had to be ordered and won't be in until Friday. So that means that he won't be able to fix his car until at the earliest, Saturday. And I'm telling you right now, I am NOT staying at school until 4:00 on Friday waiting for Jim to pick me up! He can just figure it out himself. After last night and all the shit I had to put up with from him - I'm done putting myself out!

And it's not Friday yet! ARGGGGG!!!!

This morning we'll have a meeting at work to discuss Dezi's bullshit behavior. Should be interesting. Hopefully it will be quick, people can discuss clearly and concisely the facts and we can figure out a plan.

Horshack, my other autistic kid got a cavity filled yesterday. He came in late with a numb mouth and was a ridiculous mess. He refused to move his mouth to talk (even though he could move it) and he continually slurped his spit because he wouldn't swallow and wouldn't close his mouth. During his study hall, he got up, pretty much every 60 seconds to either look in the mirror, tell me some stupid shit ("Mrs. Hanke"...mumbling through a non-moving mouth which I could barely understand..."Maybe I should eat soft food at lunch.") Eventually I told him to stop being a drama queen after he stood in front of my desk (with me TRYING to ignore him) taking deep breaths. Ridiculous. And then - when he got back from lunch, and every time he entered the room until the end of the day, he'd say, "I think my lips aren't swollen anymore!" His lips were NEVER swollen - they were numb.

Here's hoping these kids act normal today!

Okay well, guess I need to head to work. Later!
