Tonight was a meet the teacher’s night at Alec’s school. I had the opportunity to talk to the extra mural Occupational therapist and Speech and Language therapist. They seemed really motivated to develop a plan for Alec. They aren’t at the school the whole year, but they will create a plan with items we can implement at home as well as at school. His teacher did a presentation for the parents and it went very well. I have a good feeling about her. I also joined the Parent and School Committee (PSSC) and I’m hoping that I’ll have some input on some items at the school.

On other fronts. I have a miserable cold. I played basketball with it last night and today I’m feeling even worse. I hope it’s better before I take off to TX on Monday. I won’t be able to take my dristan nasal spray on the plane, lol. Actually I need to find out more details about that. I can’t take liquids or gels, but what exactly does that constitute? Is mascara or lipstick ok? I suppose a gel cap tylenol would be banned. Ok, I just googled and found the official list. Mascara is not ok, but lipstick is, as long as it’s not gel. Concealer is ok, but not liquid makeup. Ok, guys I know, roll your eyes;) But hey a single woman has to keep things in perspective;) You know what is interesting, is that you CAN take on personal lubricant. So you can’t take on sunscreen, lotions or toothpaste, but you can have personal lubricant. Because you never know when you’re going to need personal lubricant on an airplane, lol.
