I'm so annoyed with the center DS does therapy at. It was just MDW & they were closed. The last time I wanted to talk to the office manager who is in charge of everything in person wasn't there when we she was supposed to be. She is so freaking hard to get a hold of. Then I call after MDW to talk about things with speech. I get told she's out this whole freaking week. Dude, your place is shutting down in two months, people are freaking out & probably have a tons of questions. Not the best time to call off. I was told 'oh I'm sure she'll check her voicemail.' It's Thursday, haven't received a voicemail. I emailed her too. Nothing back. I have been ignored by so many people lately by so many different things. So freaking frustrating. Grrrrrr I wonder if she is losing her job when the center closes so she DGAF. That does suck for families that need to discuss things before they close.

This part is definitely strange. Hang in there. Not sure what happened here....but I was trying to reference the part where you said the employee came back after he was fired. Yes this. I cannot wrap my head around how he was allowed to work with these individuals again. Granted I don't know why he was fired as he was at another residence previously but it doesn't sound good. ugh.

I've thought this too but she's been there so long I figured she would be among the ones going over to the new building but who knows with that place.

Thanks bellatrix , NamasteBirches , I'm really having a hard time concentrating today to say the least. Luckily this week is almost over. I just don't understand. ;( It is a horrible situation. I just left a position overseeing 5 group homes, so seriously I am here for you. I don't know what state you're in, but the agency might be able to register the staff on a list so that other agencies know not to hire him. There may also be an agency you can call to report suspected abuse. I am curious as to why he was previously terminated...

Thanks so much I really appreciate it. I like can't even function right now and am currently eating all of my feelings. As far as why he has been fired, I've heard he has had a history of sleeping on shift but also have heard gossip about possibly abusing others. If that is true I really can't believe he was allowed to work in the same fieldagain. I really hope if he did do something (I'm hoping he really didn't and there is an explanation for this) he is held accountable as well as the jackass who hired him! I'm in CT FWIW. Where are you?

If you can spare some, we could use some extra T&P's today. DH just called me and apparently his dad is not doing well. DH is coming home to take DD up to the hospital to see him. He hates having DD go to the hospital so for him to be bringing her up there means he is scared his dad isn't going to come home. As of last night they were saying he just has a bad heart and there isn't a lot they can go for it at this point. SIL was going to try to get him on the transplant list but they don't do transplants in our city. The closest hospital that will do one is 2 hours away. So I am not sure how that all would work.
It breaks my heart to think that DD might lose a 2nd grandparent in a matter of a couple months. I really hope he can pull through this.

So I updated the calendar for June that we have hanging in our kitchen, it's my saving grace because I'm a super visual person. Next week starts art camp, the week after is a simultaneous soccer camp the same week playground camp starts so I'll take him to soccer camp from 9-12 then over to playground camp (late) afterwards til 3. Just for a week will be like that. For the rest of June will be solely playground camp which is from 10-3. I think that's all for June. Lol

I'm in MA. I can research CT laws. If they rehired after abuse allegations the company will likely be in for a world of legal issues.

I'm working a little today and then we have an office happy hour. DS had a dentist appointment this morning, which he loves, which is awesome. And his dentist is really darn good-looking, which is also awesome, lol.

I am currently in search of a cute last day of school print out to edit & frame for a pic to do a side by side. I cannot believe DS is done with kindergarten. What the heck?!

I'm wondering if this in fact the case as this has just been speculation so far. I'm sure things will come out once the investigation is underway. Thanks so much!

@rocknroll , DD likes the dentist too. It sure makes things a lot easier! I wonder at what age fear of the dentist starts. I remember being terrified of the dentist as a kid. I also had several cavities and had to have teeth pulled because they grew in wrong so maybe that had something to do with my fear.
ETA - not exactly grew in wrong...a few of my baby teeth just never fell out so the adult teeth grew in in front of them and the baby teeth had to be pulled.

It is taking DD some time to fit in at school. She's just starting to make friends and we may have an actual playdate next week. One of the grocery stores here gives out spacecraft/astronaut collectable stickers and an album to put them in and today the class could bring their stuff to swap. I was anxious as to how it would go, since she is the youngest, I was afraid she would be shortchanged. When I picked her up all of her doubles were gone (she had about 40) and the album broke so it was only the front and back left. She said she got one or two new ones already stuck in. I asked in the class app group if any one had mistakenly brought home my daughters book and that I would hope to reunite it with its cover soon. If it does not turn up I'll be pissed. I am not sure what went down but I feel like the teacher should have looked out for her a bit. DD talked about giving stickers away to kids 'so they would be friends'. It seems like she was pressured a bit and I don't like it. At the same time, school politics and social stuff is something she has to learn....

dutchkatie, I wouldn't read to much into it. DD has said before that she does things so the kids will be friends with her. But I don't think that is really how it plays out at school. I am sure the kids would still be friends with her if she didn't give her stickers away. I think that is just how kids think.

NamasteBirches, good luck with the mod nomination! gangy I am SO sorry to hear about the incident at work. That is absolutely horrible. misspeansmama Is your kiddo a super picky eater? Mine is too (she only has about 5-10 things she'll eat on a regular basis) so I feel your excitement over your DD eating a sandwich!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. DH is home from visiting FIL. He said that his dad wasn't doing as bad as his sister made it seem. That's not to say he is doing well, but maybe not quite on his death bed...which is good. The doctors are trying to figure out how to manage the episodes with medication and they just haven't got the right thing yet. Hopefully they get it figured out soon.

radiantfate , yes! She is insanely picky. It drives me up the wall. I'm in a Facebook group with other parents whose kids have selective eating issues (beyond your typical picky eating issues). A lot of their kids are autistic but some are just selective eaters (like mine). It might be helpful to you! If you want I can see if I can add you.

Sounds like something that would happen to DS. Hopefully her stuff turns up. Around her age+ starts to get hard. I'm sorry :/
