First Day

Let me start off by saying there was no snow.  The school district erred on the side of caution and had a two hour late start.  We managed to get every one where they needed to be and I was the only one late.   Very little freight, so it worked out all right to be late.
I was at home when the phone rang.  It was the school and could I come get the little man.  My heart just sank.  And so I went and the school psychologist met me in the office.  She told me he had a great day right up until the lock down drill at the end of the day.  And then he went off the rails.  She told me he destroyed the classroom and was being restrained. 
We walk in the classroom and there is a bit of a mess, but no where near our bar.   He is restrained and cursing like a sailor.  They let him go and he wasn't done, so they caught him and restrained him again.  And then he calmed down.  They got him some water.  The switch had been flipped and he walked out to the car with me just like normal.
They had done everything they needed to do.  No one told me he can't come back tomorrow.  The therapist said he shouldn't be expelled since he is in an SLC room.  Whew.  And so tomorrow is a new day.  They had told me to expect some behavior as he settles in to his new place.
