Stress it out!!

Yesterday we got a call from the ASW asking if Tuesday can we come for the IEP meeting followed with the transition meeting right after. We agree. Then at 8:50pm the Foster Sister sent an email saying that she has been thinking and she think we should push the transion meeting back another week so she can be present for the whole meeting. WTF!!

DH and I have already taken leave and frankly no we are not going to do it again the next week. I called the ASW this morning and I pleaded with her to advocate for us that some consideration needs to be made for our schedules. With the long delays that we have had to sustain it we are only asking for fairness. I told her of the delays in the process (and that I know those are not her fault at all). I also mentioned that this is not the first time that the FMom/sister has made request to be worked around her schedule and this needs to be nipped in the bud now.

I think I very calmly and respectfully conveyed my request to advocate on our behalf. She was very appologetic and I told her I certainly don't hold her accountable at all but that I really needed to see CFS take control and move this along.

At work we had a workshop on Disrespect in the workplace. Now there is 2 hours of stress. It was terrible. The facilitator was horrible. She wanted us to name names of people with problems. It was stressful and many people were upset or felt that time was wasted.

ASW said she would speak with her supervisor and try to call before Noon.

She calls and basically explains that FMom is holding the cards because she has not told the kids yet and maybe having a little separation anxiety. They are in contact with her and are asking her to meet after work hours at least and for a quick moment on Tuesday while we are all together. Maybe I will bring her something to smooth over hard feelings.
