I admit that BK's puppet story made my heart smile. I admit that I'm sorry LP is dealing with stupid school people. I admit that I went to a parent night at Thing 2's next school (where Thing 1 didn't do very well at times, partly bc of his mood disorder and partly bc of ignorant staff who didn't want to learn about his particular disorder and how to help manage it) last night. I admit that I saw and spoke with a few of the aforementioned idiotic staff. I admit that his prior Dean saw me and said, "I hear that [Thing 1] is doing great this year! He keeps getting better and better, doesn't he?" I admit that I glared at him and said, "Yeah, amazing what happens when he's being educated and managed by people who are actually invested in his well-being." I admit that he wasn't sure what to make of that and said, "Yes, well... um... have a great night, and welcome back." I admit that I am trying very hard to not let my hatred of Thing 1's experience there cloud Thing 2's upcoming school year because she isn't thrilled about having to go to that school. I admit that Thing 2 went to band tryouts this afternoon. I admit that she tried several instruments and decided that the trombone would be her first choice. I admit that she likes the trombone because DB used to play the trombone in school. I admit that my heart melted when she started talking about wanting to play that and why. I admit that she told DB last month that she was interested in learning. I admit that He doesn't know she tried out today, but she'll let Him know tomorrow or this weekend. I admit that my kids rock.
