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".
