Ahhhh Stressing Less!!!

So the bitch at the Unemployment office gave me 48 hours to get a letter to her with the counselor's recommendation that I be home with Burp in the evenings.
48 hours.
He recommended that I get supportive letters from all of Burp's care providers. In 48 hours.
I called his advocate, pediatrician, psychiatrist, and the school psychologist (who is evaluating him for Autism Spectrum Disorder). My deadline is a breath away and I have finally heard from his psychiatrist who will immediately draft a letter and fax it. (I barely caught him, in an hour he goes out of town until next week!) Everyone else has sent their letters.
The rest is in the hands of the Grinch and my fingers are crossed. Can she disregard the opinions of so many specialists?

The ignorance and arrogance of people with just a little bit of authority amazes me.

It just pisses me off!

What amazes me is that I was able to get 5 professionals to write and send letters on my behalf, in under 48 hours.

I was able to get a secretary to comb a computer system for one of those letters, print it on letterhead, fax it, and he kept me on the line until he got a confirmation that the fax had gone through. That is amazing.

I think I owe someone cookies!

The goodness and selflessness of others amazes me. The heartless assholes out there are just ordinary.

Oh man, this is so disturbing. I'm sorry people don't get what it's like to parent these kids - it's wonderfully rewarding and extremely difficult! And people who think it's easy and aren't supportive piss me off.
