Today has been an extremely light day, A. is not here so I only have two children. I am going to have to boost enrollment soon or we are going to have difficulty keeping our doors open. C. will not be here after school anymore as he was accepted into a special school for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I hope they are able to give him the help he needs. Iowa Park Schools are absolutely horrible with special needs children. I have seen example after example of the school system refusing services because it would cost too much time, money, or inconvenience to provide the children with the programs they need and are entitled to. More on this topic later as it looks like I can get a whole weeks worth of articles on the subject.

R. is having some separation anxiety issues this week. His grandmother is worried and his fits get worse and worse. Today he tried twice to run back to his grandmothers car, all the while kicking and screaming. After I picked him up and brought him inside I sat him on the step until he could stop crying...that took about 30 seconds...and then he was ready to play. I need to come up with some way to reassure Grammy that he is not crying all day and in fact he participates in everything as soon as her car leaves the driveway. I will have to think on that one. O. has an awful cough today but no other symptoms. I am hoping it's just allergies.

I am still composing the letter to parents about the sign-in/sign-out sheets. There are a couple other issues I have to throw in there so maybe it will lose some of it's bite amongst the other business. Vacation is in June this year so I am trying to give as much notice as possible and I am considering going to scrubs for a day care "uniform" to save a bit of wear and tear on my clothes. Only problem there is finding a company that sells capri scrubs because it is just too hot for pants here in Hell, Texas.
