So it's Halloween...yikes! What a day. What a weekend for that matter. I am feeling a bit better as I said in my last post, but I still have the horrid cough, and I'm tired. The teacher's of Katie's class decided it would be better for her not to go to class today -- I probably mentioned that already, too...but according to her IEP she is supposed to start going to class everyday starting tomorrow. I get a call from the Special Ed Superintendent this morning and he tells me that they have yet to post the position for the aide, but that should be done sometime today. Apparently he has been busy. He then proceeds to say that there isn't a qualified sub available because the only one they have is filling in for the aide who broke her ankle a few weeks ago. He then said that because of this Katie may have to wait another week or so to be able to attend class. When I hung up with him I was fuming. Her IEP says November 1 --- I'm sorry that he has been busy, but that isn't my problem. Katie needs to be in class. So, I called Katie's teacher and she said to go ahead and bring Katie in the morning. They will get a regular sub for the main teacher, and the main teacher will be Katie's aide. What a huge mess. I told her I was really sorry, and she just kept saying "you are Katie's best advocate and you have to stand up for her. She needs to be in class tomorrow." And I agree. She will be there, but all I have to say is, this had better be resolved by next week, or I am gong to have to start causing some commotion!

Well, I need to finish getting the laundry put away before we head off to Halloween Extreme...Mary is so excited . Our church has a huge party with inflatables and the works -- it's a lot of fun..
