katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Thanks to you and Jinxe for stepping in! I have read nothing. But work is going better, so yay. I completed most of my Summer TBR cleanse challenge. So I started a Fall challenge. We'll see how that goes. I tend to slow down reading when school starts, then get back to it at the holidays. 040

katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Lots of life stuff happened, so not much reading. I started The Shepherd's Crown. I had to be in the right mindset to read it. And I will probably cry. 000
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Still reading History in Six Glasses and Vanished Birds. Also started The Amberglow Candy Store. It's a store run by a fox spirit who sometimes sells to humans if they can find the store, but the candy comes with warnings. Pretty light-hearted. Doing a buddy read with the youngest. 051

katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yuck. It's been so gross the last few days, but at least today was better. 000
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Oh no. They need run around time even on half days. Wow. 120
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Does your kiddo have OT? Sometimes they are a good source for wiggle seats, the kick bands for chairs, etc. I've gotten lots of those for students over the years and it was fastest through OT. I would hope in kinder they would be doing lots of movement all day. Rug time, center time, play time, etc 110
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Not even in trouble, just a hey little dude, remember your sweatshirt. He did get busted for turning lights off on the kids using the bathroom. 🤷🏻♀️ My own kid had teachers who would gladly accommodate her, but she didn't want to be different so she toughed it out more than needed. 220
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Convo with the case manager and the teacher. I will say that I have had some students say very interesting things to their parents. One kid told his mom he got in trouble for taking his sweatshirt to recess. Actually he had been told to pick up his sweater where he had dropped it on the ground. 220
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Oh no! I hope it's mild and you recover quickly. Shingles sucks so much. 010
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Read The Brides of High Hill. Probably the darkest one so far in this series. More than a couple times the "oh that's messed up" phrase came to mind. Still good, but definitely showed some cracks in our favorite cleric and storyteller. It's a favorite series though. I really enjoy each one. 010
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Which one the surface, it makes it seem like it's more of an internal issue. But it's not. Because too often the parents are not given the full picture, leading to miscommunication, unrealistic expectations, the works. I escaped this only because I had older kids and I knew what was coming. 030
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 09/09/2026My biggest rants right now are when the IEP team at one level does not understand the structure of the next level (like elementary to secondary). I have lived this. 130
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 09/09/2026So many laws and regulations. There are rounds of testing that do need to happen at specific intervals. I have seen many young kids first qualify as speech only, especially in the preschool years. Sometimes that changes to add more services if the data supports it. 161
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 09/09/2026However, I see a lot, "But they had an IEP" which while it means something, does not mean everything. IEPs are not monolith, one-size-fits-all. It's an individual plan for the specific needs of that particular student. 170
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I tend to not comment a lot about IEPs as much as I could. 1. I get ranty. 2. If I were to impart anything I would overthink because there is so much info there and only so many characters. 270
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I sometimes relay these stories to my kids like, just don't ever do this and you will already be well above some of your peers. The bar is literally in hell. 040

katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I had 3 things in my favor: 1. Not my first kid. 2. Early health problems meant we got in with county services very early. 3. I had friends. Some were parents who dealt w/IEPs, some were case managers/aides/teachers. 031

katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 03/09/2026But the bride does not seem damsel-ly, so it will be interesting where it goes. 010
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Also started the next novelette in the Singing Hills series - The Brides of High Hill. This time Chih has to solve a mystery. Seems like the life of a young bride about to be married to an older man (who has gone through many brides) is at stake. 110
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Read parts of 3 books this week. Got a bit further in Vanished Birds. Starting to get more interesting with the mysterious boy. Getting more invested. In the History of the World in Six Glasses, I learned about an ancient, epic party that sounded quite amazing and hard to comprehend. And wine. 220

katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I have been to a "surprise" wedding where the bulk of the people found out about the wedding at the last minute, but the food and drink were already provided so everyone left happy. 050
katbook.bsky.social @katbook.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I am of the firm belief that you do not make your guests do extra extraneous work to attend your wedding. You provide food and drink, they provide the party - everyone wins. 150
