Pop's Little Nedneck
The Mrs. has the Kid sayin she's "mommies baby", and I have her sayin she's "Pop's little nedneck" !! Some of you already know that she has Tuberous Sclerosis, and autistic traits come with it.. She starts the 9th grade Monday, and the Mrs. caint wait !!
You see, me and the Kid together have fun and the Mrs. often puts us under a "NO FUN" policy.. Me and the Kid like to put on a Brooks and Dunn CD or Gretchen Wilson and crank it up and ROCK OUT !! The Mrs. wont let me hook up the 15"er's tho, so we dont get to get serious when we rock out, but its still fun watchin the Kid get animated and sing to it.. She gets the rockin recliner most of the time and after a few minutes of crankin the music I have to move the chair back up about 3 feet or more after she gets it wound up and scoots it around..
Gonna be a lot different around here after she goes back to school Monday.. We have been cramped-up in here in close quarters for the past month or so under the A/C and now its gonna be real quiet in here without her.. Maybe it'll cool off enuff soon and I can get back out in the yard and find somethin to keep myself occupied ..
She's 14 now and the hormones are really kickin in and she is real quick to get an attitude.. Imagine that.. An attitude.. After bein around me ..
There are gonna be a whole new crew of aids in her class this year too, and there may be some personality clashes, and that leaves the possibility that we dont have any option other than homeschoolin her.. They already have one BIG BOY in her class that has to have his own classroom to hisself because he is violent with the other kids.. I dont thank they could handle another with an attitude problem.. Thats the reason they have a new crew of classroom aids this year.. None of em want to gop thru another year like last year.. It wad'nt pretty !!
I tell ya'll this cause I may get kinda quiet for a while if worse comes to worse and I have to have time to try and sort out what we are gonna have to do with the kid and her school.. I'm hopin for the best, but I expect the worst..
They built the "short bus" kids a new school buildin this year too, so they are gonna have a new buildin, new aids, new time schedule, and all kinds of nice, neat new school shit that is gonna thro the kids into a whole new world come Monday.. Oh, and a new dress code too that is gonna be hard for some of those kids to deal with.. So, its not just gonna be the AKId that is gonna be havin to deal with it, but the whole group is gonna have to readjust to it, plus they are gettin 5 new kids in the class too.. I guess that now you have a little bit better grasp of why I have low expectations..
Wish us luck..

Sounds like the school system isn't doing all it can to tend to these special kids. But I know you and Linda K will do what's best for our little Miss. You know more about her needs than any school ever could. hugs, Sherry
The school is doin about all it can get away with !!
It just takes special people to work with these kids, and those special people have a hard time toleratin what the school tries to do..
These kids can be a real handfull and when the school is givin em grief, and the kids are givin em grief too, its just not worth the headache to em..
The real problem, in my honest opinion, is that way too many folks use the school as a proxy (free)baby sitter.. A bunch of those kids are not even coherent enuff to focus on your finger and grab it.. They lay in a bed or sit in a damn whellchair all day and dont even move unless an aid moves em.. Some of those kids have some major health concerns and the last place they need to be is up at the school passin around the latest bug or virus that could put em in the hospital in serios condition.. But the parent(s) send to school to get a break without havin to pay a sitter and somebody has to take care of em and change their diapers and feed em and look after em while the other kids more of less have to take care of themselves..
And in the case of the BIG BOY, it sometimes takes 2 or 3 of the aids to just keep him from hurtin somebody..
I figger its gonna be an interestin coupla weeks ..
You are a hombre of Major Fortitude,
Wild Bill.
Good luck......
