Next week's meeting is going to be a waste of time

So next Wednesday morning at 5:30 am our time is the meeting with SD's teacher, assistant principal, social worker, etc. plus BM and BM's DH. SD is currently at 21 total missed days of school and 5 tardies. SD's last report card showed minimal improvement and that was before SD missed 10 more days of school and 2 more tardies. SD's teacher had put SD on the list to be signed up for free after school tutoring in both Math and Literacy early March and copied us on the email for it.

Heard an update since 9:30 pm last night our time. So this week has been one of those weeks with BM. First SD was late to school on Tuesday because of a minor family emergency BM said, okay fine whatever. Then Wednesday BM says SD was throwing up all night, followed by yesterday BM saying SD was throwing up all night again and didn't get hardly any sleep. 
 

SD Update & Other Updates

DH and I have been doing a pretty good job on not focusing so much on SD. SD had her surgery, all went well with the surgery. DH had an awful attempt at a phone call days after the surgery when trying to check in on SD. Basically BM had given SD her phone to play a game on before DH called during the time he had requested, DH couldn't get more than 5 words out of SD because guess what?

O/T - Vent about SM Friend

I sometimes have the habit of keeping friendships of people I probably shouldn't. I have posted quite a bit about my friend who is also a SM. We met in August 2019? I am pretty sure. Her DH worked with my DH so when we ran into them at a beer festival, a friendship formed from there. SM does not have a lot of friends, especially female friends because she can be a bit of drama. The four of us would do stuff as a group pretty often and I think SM and I have done something just us maybe twice?

School and Tonsil Update

This afternoon, DH and I were copied on an email from SD's teacher to BM letting her know that she recommended SD for tutoring in reading and math. We were happy that she copied us on that so we were able to also see the recommendation plus the other information which informs BM she has until April 1st to sign her up and that there are limited spaces available.

O/T - Struggling

I have posted on here quite a bit how DH and I are trying to get pregnant. I am really trying not to get frustrated or down about it, but it is really hard. I have been off birth control since August, I have been tracking my period since then, and since February we started using ovulation tests too. We didn't start actually trying to get pregnant until January. Based on March's ovulation tests, we think we might of been trying during the wrong window since the results were very off from the app prediction and that is what we had been going off previously.

SD talked a lot about money

So we just had SD for 2 weeks during winter break about 2.5 months ago now. On this trip, SD kept talking a lot about money and making odd comments to both DH and I separately as well as to us together about money. For example, the first morning SD was here I had her help me make pancakes. While stirring the batter with me and DH was making the eggs 2 feet away from us SD says I am going to get a job so "I can give my mom money and you guys money too." DH told her that was so nice of her, but that we didn't need her money.

To say in regards to flight information

The night SD missed her flight, BM told us on the phone that we needed to add her information to SD's flights so she can get the flight information. DH told her that we cannot add her prior to SD getting on the plane as it is on our account and would share personal information. Afterwards, DH messaged explaining how BM could download the Alaska Airlines app, add SD's flight using the flight number and be able to track her flight beforehand without having to keep pulling it up on the website.
