My Boys Are Normal!...err, sort of...
The boys had their psych tests today, to determine if they're ADHD or autistic or anorexic or whatever it is that the school wanted us to get tested. It turns out the pediatrician doing the test could only say in his opinion that ADHD is NOT a factor for starters. As far as autism goes, under the farthest stretch of the definition one could find things about the boys that appear to be autistic, but they also exhibit signs that are clear cases of NOT being autistic. The word he used to sum it all up is that the boys are "unique". I'm not really sure how to take that, but treat it as a good thing for the moment. The pediatrician wants us to get a "second look" on the boys performed over at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener. So we're not done with the tests just yet. *sigh*

June 29/07 - A Day That Will Live On In Infamy!
You read correctly, June 29, 2007. A day I am sure I won't forget anytime soon.
How is this possible? No, I didn't do the time-travel thing or look into someone's crystal ball or anything. Let me explain.
For over a year now, the company I work for has stated that at the end of June, we were closing our building in Kitchener where I work, and moving everything into our Cambridge location. As the days leading up to this move loomed ever closer, I know it's going to be a major hassle.
First, the boys finish their first year of school at the end of June. They're in kindergarden, so they go to school in the morning, then I pick them up at lunch and take them over to their daycare (we don't qualify for bussing! ugh!), then I go back to work, then pick everyone up after work. As it stands now, the system works, don't screw with it. If the move to Cambridge occurs BEFORE the boys end their school year, it'll be messy figuring out how to make the transition work (could involve me taking holidays to ensure the boys are covered, etc.)
Now. This by itself is confusing enough.
Today, my wife calls me to tell me the place where she works is moving to a different location...at the end of June! So now we have THIS to complicate matters even further!
I tell ya. Running like a madman and hitchin' a ride out west sounds like a good idea right about now....

Mondays Are A Pain In The .....
You know it ain't gonna be a good week when your Monday is a total write-off by lunch time.
The wife and I are currently working with the school our boys go to, trying to find an option when it comes to dropping them off. They're in kindergarden, and the school doesn't want them unattended (understandable) but they won't unlock the school doors til 8:50 am. That's fine, but I then have to go to work, which is across town, and be there by 9 am -- 10 minutes!
I think we're reaching a suitable solution (have a couple of eighth graders watch them so that I can drop them off an extra 5 minutes earlier) so that this issue may be solved. The rest of the day's been crap, though. Luckily, the work day ends in about 10 minutes....
After picking up the kids from daycare and the wife from her work, it's grocery time, followed by veg-out time at home. There's a new 24 on as well as Prison Break, but I guess the biggie tonight is the season premiere of Dancing With the Stars. Personally, my money is on Heather Mills' fake leg flying off during the late part of her performance. Now THAT'S entertainment
