The meeting at Mac's school went unexpectedly, but well enough...not what we initially intended, but it's an understandable situation. Moral of the story is he's going to need to change programs and therefore schools. We walked out of his school and drove directly to the tiny private, Montessori school my brother and sister attended years ago. I just wanted to see what else is out there in our seemingly insurmountable task of finding what's best for Mac. I sat in the front office with Sean and in walks Nora...the principal...still after all these years...a former Irish nun who heads up a little school that teaches children how to learn, not how to take a standardized test. Thankfully she recognized me immediately...we set it up for Mac to visit this Wednesday to see what she thinks. I've made the executive position to pull the wool over his eyes for now and not subject him to the uncertain changes before him so our trip there will be under the guise of a visit...hopefully a smooth, successful one. The other obstacle was discussing this all with Bryce, oh the joys of raising a child with your high school boyfriend, I held my breath when he called about the news from the meeting he had to miss due to work...he really liked the idea of putting Mac in the Montessori school...thank good God...I teased him that I think it was the first time we've whole-heartily agreed on something in the last thirteen years.

The doctor's appointment...uneventful and informative. We got our small handful of questions answered, found out that this is going to be a little more involved since our doctor likes to do some proactive diagnostic work before attempting artificial insemination, and it's ever so slightly cheaper than we originally thought. I was kidding around with Sean all day as we went from one of Mac's educational related task to another asking him, "You know what sounds good? A pelvic ultrasound" thinking that I'd inevitably end up with my feet in stirrups later in the afternoon, but the doctor didn't decide to do one...my small respite before all the fertility fun and excitement really gets underway.

Freestyle...all day yesterday at Scrapbook Oasis. So fun...great projects...and just IDEAS...I love ideas....whether it was pipe cleaners, masking tape or back-stitching...it was just inspiring to make stuff all day long. Can't wait to use some of this new inspiration and ideas soon. This was the little book Kim Henkle taught...

Later today is an unofficial Memorial Day event here on Franzen Ave...just a little neighborly BBQ at our house...the potato salad is chilled, watermelon is all chopped up, and the tri-tip is marinating...I think I'm going to break out the martini accouterments and make it a nice little party...not that I ever drink that much, but I might as well imbibe a little before it's off limits.
Cheers :)
