Seriously, we should do lunch!

Yes... it's the Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus thing.

This all leads me to want to throw in a comment... that when something needs

to happen at school and it involves a male teacher/administrator I send

Daddy. He has got to be at the IEP meetings, too (both of us on that one).

You know, my husband went to the pediatrician before

all these referrals after I kept going back &

'nothin'. He kept asking " Is it normal for him

to....? " The pediatrician said " I didn't realize this

fever had been going on so long, and so... he's tired

like this all the time? " . It was as if it was the

FIRST time he'd ever heard anything.

One thing was... my husband just kept asking the same

questions " Is it normal? " whereas, I'm of course

thinking like " Duh it's not normal " ... but the magic

was, he forced the doc to give an answer and more than

once. Yeah. I'm taking him w/me every time in the

future. But he couldn't possibly have a scientific

conversation lol. In fact, I'm going to have him call

the infectious disease doc monday and ask why they're

not re-doing any of the labs.

Great point. Thanks!]
