would call this the daily dillema if i could spell that
had all sorts of things to be angry about this
morning--
like who was the smartie who discovered a breakfast of left
over chinese food was not the way to start the day.
but all the rest of the annoying things were the kind that i
dare not mention because of all the people who now read this
nonsense
there is a camera person in scotland-- maybe she can remember
this story/poem and give us the whole thing
it is about the son of a minister at a church
party--
"i started in a story - then i stopped it in the
middle
cause the story that i started was not... you
see..
the kind that you could tell at a church
party."
practically every thought i have had this morning ended like
that
the worst that i must not mention-- so i will change the
names---
is about
a little kid probably weighs less than 60 pounds-- so lets
call her" 60"
was being hauled around school in a wheelchair--- by an
aid
and several times they forgot to take her to lunch ---. when
i first went to this school to meet with official people-- the aid left 60 in
the hall in her wheelchair when she came into the office to meet
us..
sack of flour type treatment..
60 wanted some independence--- and to be able to go to the
mall with her friends without her father.. --60 And her dad came here ----she
could walk with him-- but walkers etc were too tippy.
like a red flag in front of a bull--- i bit the challenge----
.captured fido who had not worked a day in years-- took him in harness to a
mall and said "go" and she walked about 1/4 a mile hanging on to fido-- not
dad.. we put together a young pup for her-- and they walk--without supervision
in the mall-- and we have a video of her walking in the ipswich school ( where
we practice "noise and confusion") walking almost normally.
the pup passed the town's august practice fire bell drills
with "A"
there are a couple of the staff in her school system who do
not.. shall i say.......are not encouraging to her.. they prefer the sack of
flour treatment in a wheelchair-- it is easier for them-- the big BUTTTT-her
legs need to walk
megan has gone to her school with her and came back with
stories how both kids and teachers were calling to and grabbing at this pup. so
now the pup is nervous in her school especially during fire drills. and they
have now photographed the pup in a fire drill worrying about what is behind
him.
in the middle of the night--- i realized if they want her to
ride in a wheelchair---- then have that aid follow her around with the danm
thing and if the fire bell rings 60 can ask for a ride and let the dog
follow... it would not take any more of the aid's time-- and it would enable
her to walk 99.98% of the time and not be told to sit and stay isolated in
that chair when they forget to take her to lunch..
think i can win that one??? the dog behaves nearly perfectly
everywhere but in that school where even the teachers grab at the
dog...
anne( denmark anne) offered to drive me up there (NH) she
likes to spectate a good argument.
if i need help i will ask for it ----- i can see it
now....
we have all been subjected to 4 years of political people
walking up and down some sidewalk with placcards about far less critical
things...

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

next problem
****************
i feel like lucy at the candy factory...
calendars are nearly on the printers schedule-
i ordered mailers to send the calendars
they are advertised as unbendable- yet lightweight to avoid
postage.
it is a commercial company---some flat.. some gussettd and a
few boxes
the only other thing i added were refils for our first aid
kit--- like those little packets of 2 advil to a tiny envelope
i was shocked to see the shipping $93 and called to try a nd
figure out a slower/cheaper shipping ( which was stilll less that the staples
route)
we went thru the order and all together-- all those enveloes
and advil weigh about 300 pounds.. ok... if those 900 mailers are 300 pounds
what do 1000 calendars look like---and where do we put all that volume of boxes
here and be able to address them and train dogs at the same time..
what do we do... start another overflow room?
************
so today's schedule
somebody has to go train a dog a t costco and get me some
breakfast cereal along with a big jar of pepto bismol --- between barbara's
great left over lasagna and then the chinese food, i need help
anne is due here for coffee at 11-- she is a clipboard
carrying tea drinker.
i am supposed to be thinking about THINGS.
i'll try..
