T-Minus 4!!!

I have 4 more regular IEP meetings for the rest of the school year and after today it will be 3! Woot! Now that doesn't count the IEPs I'll have to do for the students going to the career center but of those (2) only one will need to be completely done (it's one of the 4 left). I will also have to have and IEP for my student who is going to another program after this, his senior year but that shouldn't be too terribly difficult. AND!!! Monday is the deadline for interims for the 3rd quarter! I'm almost to 4th quarter! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?

In Jimmy news: He had a good birthday - loved his radio! The sound is awesome. His dinner was delicious as well. However, he's having TERRIBLE hip pain and even had to come home early yesterday. Ugh! I tossed and turned last night thinking about it and then wondering if joint pain has anything to do with his meds (I've basically been up since 1:30). I'll have to research. I didn't want to mention that to him because as we all know, Jimmy can be a bit of a drama queen and the power of suggestion can be too much for him (and me)! Kind of a if-you-build-it-he-will-come sort of thing.

So his boss asked him yesterday when the last time he laid Jim off was. Which means he's thinking about doing it. I told Jim he was going to have to convince him NOT to! I mean, A) he's going to be out 6 weeks anyway at the end of March! I can't have him out prior to that! B) His raise is scheduled to be in 4 days. If they lay him off before then, the raise gets put off. Very curious that this gets brought up so close to that! Hopefully Jim will be able to power through with his hip and show his boss that he's an asset and not worth laying off. I mean COME ON DUDE! He's got cancer! Throw the guy a freaking BONE!

Okay - I best mosey. My IEP is at 7:15. I have a feeling the parent won't show (though the kid is 18 so that's no big deal) but I wanted to talk to her about some of the things her son was saying yesterday regarding his living situation. Sad situation. Basically he and his mother live with her mother and two brothers in a two bedroom apartment and the brothers are NOT very nice. The student is worried about his mother's physical well-being. No kid should have to worry about that. UGH!

Okay - happy Thursday! Almost to the weekend! Later!
