DH fully expects to be fired before the end of the week for taking this weekend off and refusing to go into the store to deal with issues this weekend (beyond the alarm issue). He's spent a good deal of the day putting in applications online.
We went to Geek Squad (at Best Buy) when our computer (only 2 yrs old) wouldn't turn on. Turned out the motherboard died. But they were able to transfer all documents and images and such onto the new we got the same day.elevan said:

Thanks. It came back on after letting it sit for several days. I'll have to have someone look at it for sure. It's good to know that if it dies that there may be a possibility of retrieving lost stuff. I'll be getting a back up hard drive to back things up though.SheepGirl said:

Boingo's curve went well today. 276 - 305 - 301. So no major fluctuations in insulin level throughout the day.
He's almost completely blind now. He seems to see some shadows but for the most part he is relying on sound and smell and memory. There are times I let him outside and have to go out to lead him back in because he cannot find the steps to the deck.
It's really hard because you can't even forget to push in a chair to the table or it creates an obstacle that he will run into and cry out. If the boys leave a large toy laying in the middle of the floor, it's the same problem.

Conference with Boingo's vet this morning. While it's good that there are not wild swings in insulin during the day, it's bad that he's still above 250. And that is the reason that he is going blind. I'll be administering 12 units 2x daily of insulin all week this week, continuing to monitor urine and blood glucose and repeating the curve next Sunday.
I just got home a little while ago from picking B up at school. Before I left I looked at what the teacher had put in his bag to work on this afternoon. It didn't make sense. I asked the secretary. Nope, didn't make sense to her either so she went and asked the teacher. Apparently the teacher forgot to add a page. When we had that page it all made sense. Now tell me how we are supposed to do the work when we don't have all the pieces? And that one project is the only thing that she sent home for him to do...it'll take all of 5 minutes. It's a good thing that I bought him some workbooks so that I can fill his afternoon. I'm beginning to think that he is acting up in the afternoons at school because he's bored.

Em, have you had his intelligence tested?
You theory on being bored makes sense with the behaviors that you have talked about. It would be such a same for a gifted child to be held back simply because he was bored.
I'm so glad to see someone taking such an active role in their childs education.
So many people take the "thats the school's job" attitude. I wish more parents were like you and would hold the schools accountable for their actions.
Good luck with Boingo's curve, and his insulin. Poor guy. (and poor mama too). It sounds stressful for both of you.
