David’s first day of school

David started school today.  Yep. you read it right, and it wasn’t home school. He was accepted yesterday into a day program in the city near where our home is.  actually, it is about 50 miles from here. So far so good, had a solid first day. How long will the honeymoon last?  Don’t know, but we will enjoy it while it lasts. Tweet #fighting4answrs

a new school year – for David too

well, after being largely awake the last two and a half days, the kids start school today.  Even David.  Yesterday we got a call from the Superintendent indicating that if we got all of the paperwork in, David could start the day school program at the residential facility that we applied to for long term placement. So the school district hired a driver.  It is almost 60 miles one way to the school. The Superintendent is even riding along this first day. I told my wife that after I catch up on my sleep, I will get busy on my projects.  First is a website for Family Voices of North Dakota. I have to get that done.  Plus I have some stuff to do around the house.  But first, a little rest. Cheers!   Tweet #fighting4answrs

still awake after all

So, it is 5 am here in whynotfathers.com land.  I was ready to go to bed myself.  Suddenly started getting email notifications of items being installed on my kindle fire. Guess who is awake? Guess who admitted that he spit out his meds?  Even after I ran my finger around his gums and under his tongue. So his meds were replaced.  Made a note to clean out behind his bed, evidently that is where he spits his meds.  Yuck!!! Even after he pretended to be asleep for three hours. I dozed, woke with a start and decided to go to bed.  Now, I guess I will be up until mom wakes up and then will go to bed.  so much for spending time with the family before school starts. He has stolen the Kindle twice today, now.  so frustrated.  I wonder if I should sleep with it under my pillow…
