Sad. :-(

That's how I feel today. I went to pick up ds from school and the teacher showed me his progress report. All D's and F's. I'm so sad. This kid is literally probably the smartest in the entire 4th grade - at least as far as the boys are concerned. Why is he failing? Why isn't she telling me until a month after he doesn't turn assignments in? Why are they so bent on "proving" they were right, rather than doing what's best for my son?

Then I realized I don't have anybody to call and tell my feelings too. I don't have anybody who will just say "it's ok" or "I'm sorry" or "Can I pray for you." Well, my dh did say "it'll be ok" but he's male and he has to say that. I don't have one single GIRL friend I would call and cry to who would not give me what THEY would do if it were THEIR kid. Well, he's my kid and you don't know what it's like to live with him or the challenge it is to be his parent.

Then I thought I had camp counselors mostly worked out for children's camp only to be told the male counselor I had in mind most likely won't be able to do it, because he has a prior commitment. So now I'm back to square one and I still don't know if I should go or not.

I guess it's just a sad kind of day. :-(
