Owen is not transitioning well to 3rd grade. We are not super fond of his teacher, she is very much about punishing people. He is shy and anxious, his teacher last year really seemed able to bring out the best in him. He is flaky and flighty, and I don't know how to get him more focused. I sent his teacher an email to get suggestions from her, but haven't heard anything back yet. I spent half an hour crafting my email, trying to convey that we are concerned, we aren't blaming her, but also she maybe need to focus on him a bit.
He has been having dreams about us dying, so I know that school is making him upset. He has an ipod touch, and he is allowed to email us and his grandparents, last week he sent me an email from bed saying he keeps having a nightmare about being blind, and he can't hear... and then he dies. So clearly, mother of the year over here.
I am on a committee at his school and my job is to organize the volunteers to sell tickets. I have to coordinate with a mom, who seems determined to not understand what I mean. I explained the days I need volunteers, and gave her a sign up sheet with all the days and times. She made a new sheet with only one day. Then when I asked her about it she said her class would only do one day and I would have to find someone else to do the others. Unfortunately she informed of this a week before I need people. I hate having to talk to people I don't know, then to have them ignore me and have to keep addressing them on it is really stressful.
Also, remember my pharmacy issue? I have to testify to the governing board on Wednesday. Gahhhhh

These things are so stressful, I found myself about to click away without commenting, just to make the stress stop. SO STRESSFUL.
Elizabeth is not doing so well in school this year either, and has been saying that, for example, whenever she's at school she has "a sad feeling." And we met her teacher at Parents Night, and I felt like she was not the sort who likes shy children.
