my world getting rearranged yet again

been a hell of a year, mini having knee surgery in january, totally scary. required arthroscopic knee surgery at the way too young age of 4 1/2 years old. hope this doesn't require further intervention later in life if he gets into sports. after that settled down, the mother's day flood. that was a horrible night. the day was so lovely, i got the beautiful sapphire and diamond ring i hoped for, everything just was so nice. then, around 830, we discovered that the rain that had been falling all day decided that our lower level was the best place to puddle up. the upside of that drama was that we got to yank out the worlds ugliest chocolate brown carpet and later in the summer, dad came out to visit to help make the room lovely and liveable. we had the richard pease family get together in estes park colorado. that was a great trip, further solidified the possibility of retirement to the greater denver area. not long after we got home from that trip, patrick called to tell me that we're getting another transfer. at first, we were being told we were going to camp lejeune, to which i replied "um, no." after a minor amount of discussion with the monitor, now the transfer is to camp pendleton. he will have to deploy again not long after we get there. the plus side of this transfer is me hopefully getting to go back to cpcmg, maybe even as site supervisor.
i think the most difficult thing that has happened on top of all of that is that the mini has started kindergarten in quite the rocky fashion. on day 4 of kindergarten, i got a call from the principal, a very nice and cordial man, he wasn't punishing the mini, just asking for tips on how to calm him when he gets all bent out of shape. then in week 2, a call from the vice principal, still a nice but not quite as cordial lady, something similar had happened. in week 3, a request to meet with the teacher, the counselor and holy frak, like 6 other staffers who had all independently assessed my darling child. interesting things they told us, started doing some reading on the disorder they suspect, the more we read, the more we see that it's what he's fighting against. sensory processing disorder, too many things going on overload him and he sort of freaks out/shuts down/melts down, depending on the issue. he's gotten tons better, is also in a special program to help him with reading, writing, verbal skills, comprehension, etc. and just about the time the whole kindergarten thing is routine and no big deal for him, we have to take him out of school and move cross country and start all over.
mr blind and i are getting better. it's been a rough go of things for quite some time and we're communicating well at least. we're far from spectacular together but at least we're not looking for lawyers, not even counseors.
i'm tired, going to call it a day and head for bed.
