YOu did something to help another. Thats exactly what kind of person you are. I really wanted to be there for my co-worker. But it was just to
long a drive for me alone. I have to really think about the drive now.
When its going to be long drives I'm going to have to think about whether
my health will allow me to go. ITs going to be very difficult to say no
to lots of places I want to go. But my health is saying I better if I plan
to be around for the next 30 years.

Today, I went to my area's parent forum for the changes to the state
law for the special education laws. We had a pretty good turn out for
the fact that Purdue is right there too, and they had a home game.
And on top of that they had band day too. Wow, when they planned
this they didn't think of this.

But i'm so happy with our turn out, and i had many of the group that
I knew. It was my area, so it was nice because my specific supervisor
was present. She was also the one doing the introductions, but then
she was the one that knew the presentor from the DOE the best.

And I didn't want to do the introduction anyway, I was going to ask
her if she would mind doing that introduction and the talking. I just
didn't get the chance she let us know she had planned to do it.

HEehee. But that was fine, she let me know I was doing a good job.

thats all I care about, the director of the area, let her know they appreciate
me. And I had a chance to give a card to a parent that was having lots
of trouble or thought she was.
