Daily bit of Carlin catch-up:
I'm a total whimp when it comes to shot day for the kiddos. We were freaked out by the mercury scare so are only giving Leila one shot at a time athough we're not anti-shot, anti-medicine wierdos by any means. Today Leila got her second shot. She only peeped slightly. Had stopped crying by the time I picked her up. She was an angel. Especially considering we had waited 2 hours to see the doc. Flu season. Luke was another story.

Which takes me to the IEP. They offered us half of what we were hoping. So we're going to be having to file a motion, perhaps take on the Regional Center and take a few other rather expensive and frustrating steps.

We're waiting to hear what T___ H____ says about the proposal and what we should do about it.

I'm doing so little for Christmas:

• Christmas cards ~

yes, same Leila pic.

• Gifts to mom, dad, nephews, nieces, Luke, Leila, Rob.
• Open cards we get from everyone else.
  
• Christmas dinner with some Christmas pudding for Rob.
  
• Take time to think about the real meaning of Christmas and be thankful for it.
  
• Yep, that's pretty much it.
  

I didn't plan it this way. The season is just sort of zooming past us because of the Luke sitch. A tree was out of the question with Luke and so I didn't think any further about other decorations. Remind me to be super creative next year to make up for it. T'will soon be no choice as Luke will be fully aware of what it is and what he should expect. Actually, I'm really looking forward to making holidays lovely and sweet for my kiddies. That's the fun part actually. This might be my last year off. Trust me, Rob doesn't care.

Crime is a matter of opinion. This is frightening.
