A Life Uncommon: The fight for the rights of my children.

The fight for the rights of my children.

I called the public school district and spoke with a sec to the guy who is in charge of special needs . To let him know my response to the letter that all the stuff I have done in the private sector is now out of date! Oh man!
Steve and I are working Overtime to save up for the 1400.$ plus that we will have to come up with out of pocket to retest the kids as to save a 3-4 month lag at the beginning of next school year to start any of the public school testing. I asked if anything could be done to expedite the process. Everyone is off until August now...........
So she will talk to the big guy and call me back probably Monday..... At least I could find out exactly what they need to emediatly start the process in the fall for the intervention that both children need......
Dan is supposed to start the microphone/amplifier system in the fall and then he will also have the surgery too.
Becca starts her reading and math summer school on Monday too.
She needs the IEP also for her learning disability and the social cognitive dysfunc. ,Sensory integration disfun.(Dan has this too), ADID (inactive). I feel a little sad and overwhelmed.
I'm so grateful to have a vista view of life. I know that this is simply a role that has been given to me and that I even picked up by choice. Momma bear just loves her cubs and it is hard to keep a balanced focus on the greater story.
I love my cubs. May the world see the beauty in this bear and may I not have to growl so loudly as to cause fear or discomfort in others. You know bears have gotten a bad rap. They truely are wonderful creatures. :)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
Return with Honor
The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
"HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
“Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
"O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
"No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
