IEP Meeting went well....
They didn't bring in the full contingent of 'helping' people. Which might have been fun for a change since the conclusion of the meeting was that our girl is doing very well.

Being the good girl that I am, I went to the office to sign in and receive my visitor's badge. I signed in and then stood there waiting to be offered my badge by the three office functionaries floating about. No one acknowledged my presence, so I wandered off to the meeting. Feeling contentious (high school just brings out the high-schooler in me) I neglected to sign out when I left. So will anyone look for me? Will they think I'm just lost, wandering about the school all day? Rick, who dropped us at the door and went to park the car, beat us to the Learning Resources Center because he walked in with the confidence of an alum....

Out of respect for Martha I tried to act exceedingly bland and normal. I even controlled the urge to stop, turn and blurt out a loud, "I beg your pardon...." to the student I overheard saying, "What the f**k." I will do this in public places, but I didn't want to give Martha a reputation as the child of a social reformer/Miss Manners/battle-ax. Well, not at school anyway.
