WOW...thank you to everyone, but extra cyber smooches to my co-decorating "interventionist", Amy, for bumping me up to the Honor Donor level for the Relay!! I'm really a bit stunned, as I evidently set the bar too low. I'm currently the 7th or 8th highest fundraiser for Hunters Creek!

And, yes, dear, you get one free "I told you so" for me setting my fundraising goal so low...

On the lighter side, how scary is this?

I recently got this letter from the Howard Phillips Center for Children and Families. While the names have been changed to protect those involved, I did NOT make up these factual and grammatical errors. Comments in red are my snarkiness. I'm grateful for the funding for M's speech, but...well, you'll see.

Dear: Heather (Interesting choice of punctuation, I would have gone with a comma after my name)

M------'s Family Support Plan expired on 11/31/2007 (First, if you wrote the letter on October 29, then the FSP will expire in November, it hasn't expired. Secondly, and I know I'm being a snob here, November only has 30 days.) and in order for her (Um, he's a boy) to continue receiving services through Part C, we will need to update her(See comment above) family support plan together.
Please feel free to contact me at (---)--- - ---- extension ----.

Sincerely,

English-impaired Case Worker
