Wound Tighter Than a Drum

I have not been having a great week. It's like every time I catch a few minutes to breathe, someone else needs or wants me for something and right now I'd like be be Donald Trump so I can fire anyone that is annoying me.

Oh BOY, are people annoying me. The school, which never did a Transition page for my son in last year's IEP (Illegal) tried to pass off this year's IEP without one as well. I raised one HELL of a stink and refused to sign it. So they made up a fake transition page, which said absolutely nothing and was worthless, but what's the point? He's already graduated and they did nothing to prepare him for what comes up next. It's like they just pushed him out of a plane and said "fly" without a parachute. I'm angry about it. Seething mad. Mostly because now I get to do their job, and start to connect him to a bunch of services that he's entitled to that they did not even tell me about. They continue to be shameful.

And while I'm on the subject, with particular notice to Daisy, they never put my daughter's learning disability on this year's IEP either. It's just miraculous that she recovered from a level 4 brain bleed, shrank those ventricles, and got rid of her NVLD all on her own. Without even one class in basic neurology even! She's a genius! I didn't sign that IEP either. I'm trouble with a capital T and I don't even care anymore. They need to do their damn jobs.

I'm irriated with my son for refusing to call the TWO scholarships he won and defer them. He just WILL NOT do it. If he doesn't he will lose them, so guess who is going to have to buck up and do it for him? I am so not happy about this, but I cannot get him to do it, no matter what I threaten or promise. He just won't. Those without a 16-yr-old high school graduate with ADHD (severe). OCD and is bipolar can just stop right now. I cannot get him to do what he won't do. I can't get his therapist to force him. I can't get our family therapist to make him either. I've tried already. He just won't.

I'm bullshit at a friend for reasons I won't go into, but I am.

My daughter has, in the past week, broken up with and gotten back together with her boyfriend. When it's breakup time she's a bitchy screamy mess. This is not fun.

I'm in a serious financial bind with nowhere to turn. Part of it is my fault,  most of it is the bank's fault. And I'm REALLY pissed at Bank of America. They really stink.

Oh, and I feel like total crap. My headache is now on day 3 and it won't quit. My back aches horribly from sitting on the most uncomfortable plastic folding chairs for 3 hours at graduation. My stress made my heart debibrillator go off. It hurts.

And today is a blogger meetup for Boston area bloggers and I am functioning. I am guessing it isn't going to be all swell times, but I'll manage.

"...they did nothing to prepare him for what comes up next." That's why we're fighting, too. I've told the Power That Be that his diploma had better be worth more than the paper it's printed on. Did I mention my daughter's diploma had to be reprinted because of a typo/ misspelling? Not a good omen.

It has to get better doesn't it????
