Would have been nice to know ahead of time...

So I was pretty much bombarded at Tristan's school today. I get there and Tristan is throwing a fit because he is way tired and I am signing him in and whatever else when I hear Tristan's name. I turn around and look at his teacher and she says this is Tristans mom right here. I look over and get introduced to a lady from the Longview School District. Then his teacher proceeded to tell me that she wasn't sure if my family advocate had called me or not about Tristan's developmental tests, but they determined he may need speech therapy to help him progress with his speaking. We have always wondered if he needed some extra help but his doctor has always said oh hes doing fine. He gets really frustrated when we try to correct him and when we cant understand him. I'm all about getting my son the help he needs, but really? could you have at least given me a heads up before I got there. So I ran late today and no one likes to hear that their child may need a little more help than most kids so I was a little upset...but seriously why wasn't I told last week? ugh so if they determine that he does need to work with the speech pathologist he will have an individualized program to help him, which means more homework for us so to speak on top on my ginormous stack of college homework. I barely have enough time for him as it is...I will have to find fun ways to help him with this. Lots happening in the next few weeks. Project for marketing due Thursday, Dentist appt. for Tristan  Friday, timed write and project due on Tuesday, picture day for Tristan  Wednesday, packing Wednesday, Signing lease and moving Friday, cleaning Saturday, then Halloween on Sunday. I might go crazy by the end of this month. I really need a vacation. I need to take classes next summer but I may need the break. :(
