Sometimes I think the "real" world could do with a few less holidays.
When you're a special needs parent, its hard enough to remember and schedule your children's daily routines and medications, keep their doctor's appointments and get there on time, worry about day care while your other children are in surgery etc. . .
Not to mention trying to work full time and get all you Continuing Education Credits.
How the heck are we supposed to remember things like Valentines cards for our kid's classmates?
I'm not even sure they celebrate Valentine's Day in Holland!
My son has been in public school for one month, he's missed at least a week of that time for doctor's appointments and sick days and he has surgery scheduled during next week's winter break.
He went to school early this morning before his ADHD meds. kicked in, because Mom and Dad have to attend an all-day CLE seminar today to get credit before the March deadline.
And, while I sit here trying to catch up on the news and all my e-mail, I suddenly remember that today is Valentine's Day at school.
It's also Friday the 13th.
So with my luck, instead of remembering the pneumonia he had last week or next week's surgery, my son will remember this day for the rest of his life!
He will never let me forget the day I sent him to school w/o his Valentines!

Oh, Nianya! (I just found you.) Maybe he'll remember the wonderful teacher who remembers to bring extras!
