Patrice - Regarding the school's early dismissals, etc. Can they give you a calendar listing these days and times of dismissals?
I know some of what you are going thru as my DH and I met at a Children's Psychiatric Hospital - we were both employees there not patients.
DS also has some problems, though no psychiatric diagnosis. He has to wait in the lobby for me to pick up.
My frugal today was finalizing the income statement from a Family Picnic we had at our church that I was in charge of. Now I will get a check remimbursing me for my expenses, which I am really needing!
