Mother's Day

I haven't posted lately about the children. Between work, school and family life just flies by. Hubby and I have seen some positive changes with medication changes and therapy. My daughter is doing well in school and will complete 3rd grade this year. My son still struggles and every year my husband and I ask that he be held back and the school talks us out of it. This year we are insisting he repeat 4th grade. He is emotionally immature, physically small and is at a 2nd grade reading level. As long as the two children are not in the same class it should be fine. My son agrees and seems happy not to move to 5th grade where the differences will be only further highlighted.

I only wish our Governor Walker would change the school voucher program to include people like us. Middle class with special needs students. I would love them to go to a Catholic school but none can accommodate our children's educational needs. But my sons education and money is ours, our taxes contributed, and we should be able to use it anyway we want. If our parish school had 6-8 thousand dollars they could afford a special education teacher for the few children that would attend.

So, here is why mom's day is so special. Breakfast in bed and handmade "I love you cards".

Obama_the smallest man in the room.

Obama looks so small.

I am fascinated by the photo of the Bin Laden operation and the final minutes of his capture and death.

I look at this photo and have to comment on our presidents demeanor. The other men and women look engaged, deliberate and resolute. Obama looks so small, ....like he wants to make this all go away. He looks like a kid in a room of grown-ups who doesn't really belong there. He also looks like he might be ill or sick and someone in the room would say its OK to go to bed, we can handle this.  I think of Bush at the 9/11 site so strong and forceful and this little man who is lost in a job that overwhelms him. He really just wants to hang out with the cool kids and have parties and brag about BB picks. He doesn't want to make the hard decisions, this is what his posture and demeanor tell us.

 Let's allow Obama to run along now and lets find someone who can make decisions when the job is difficult. Someone who doesn't look so overwhelmed by the job of president.
