it's still on my plate...

the 'inappropriate touching' situation that happened regarding ladybug is still going on. but, i think, i hope, that a resolution is in sight.

here it is almost 5 weeks ago (come this friday) since juan and i told the principal that we wanted a meeting with her, the school priest, and the parents of the other child. well, if you've heard from her, then we've heard from her. yep. that's right. she hasn't gotten back to us. at all. nor has she mentioned it to us.

so, i've written a letter outlining just the facts of the situation, and the issues we have with how it all has been handled. or not, really. i kept strictly to the facts, nothing subjective really. i will be hand delivering it to the school district superintendant, school priest, and lastly, the principal tomorrow.

i am so ready for this to be resolved. i'm realizing now how much this has taken out of me. which amazes me because, to me, i'm just handling 'my business'. but to my body it's much more serious. and not in a good way. overall i am doing so much better than i had been, thank god! yet, i still have issues. big issues. like... i forget that i don't remember. you know? well, i hope you don't. but do you get what i'm saying? i am not always aware of what's going on with my body, how things effect it, me, until i've got an i.v. plugged into the port-a-catheter that's in my chest. it's something that i'm working on. along with some other things.

well, i've got to get ladybug out of the tub now....

be well :)

Gees, Ang, this is going on way too long and it's way too stressful for you. You are right, you might not think it's that bad, but your body feels it! We'll talk more about this tomorrow over a nice hot cuppa!

Oh man... innapropriate touching of a child is so NOT what I want to read about. Please dont take that the wrong way, it's just that I'm predisposed to blow those two words (innapropriate touching) way out of proportion and go hunting for a sex offender who may not even exist.
[sigh] Please forgive me. It's my first time here and I want to make a nice first impression. You have a lovely blog. That's actually significant because I have never referred to a blog as lovely until yours. You and your ladybug are precious! :-) See you soon.

Peace and Love,

Hey Sistah TinyB;-) - I'm no parent, yet - but u know i taught for years AND i'm a sibling & daughter and from what I can TELL - it's never going to go completely away - there will always BE some life issue as long as u have a child to deal with;-). Now that i've added that "encouraging" news: there's MORE!
"i am not always aware of what's going on with my body, how things effect it, me, until..." Sis - NONE of us know - which is why stress seems to be so insidious ... all I can say is make sure u take time EVERY day to pray/spend quiet time talking to your elders, etc. It does a body GOOD! ;-).

Hey: as a mommy - will u do me a HUGE favor? Check out a new website I'm "tinkering" with & let me know what U think: Schools2Choose.com. I'm hoping u may find a few helpful tips there. lemme know! THANX!! Hugz2u & li'l miss LadyBug!
