Some days I sit here and have no idea what to write for a post. A lot of times I could write current events, but I honestly don’t think most of my readers care about that stuff, and if they did, they’d read the news. Do you really care that Pakistan’s government is probably going to collapse? I mean I do because my husband is a soldier, and well, let’s face it, we’re probably unofficially already in there, and it will probably become an official mission because the Taliban will just move there since it’s unstable (they probably already have), and regroup.
Then I see other things in the news like Macauley Caulkin and Mila Kunis split after eight years together. Who even knew they were together?
Then I think of things I should be doing. Like I should be looking up what is developmentally “normal” for a 4 year old since I have no clue with both boys being on the autism spectrum. Yet, I need to know so I can be a productive member of my 4 year old’s IEP meeting next week. I can’t contribute or know when the school is being outrageous if I don’t know what appropriate goals are, and what we’re working towards. I know the ultimate goal by the end of next school year is to see him go to Kindergarten the following fall – Fall 2012. Realistically, I’m not holding my breath. He’s so easily distracted and has so many sensory issues I just don’t see how he’ll function in a class of 20 other kids. It would be awesome if that happens, but I’m totally prepared to home school him if I need to.
I also have the whole “Yay! I’m going to have one morning a week where I’m totally FREE!” moments, and then I think “My baby is starting school – very soon – and I’m not ready.” My baby is 4. I know I have to let go, but he can be so dependent I just hope his teacher and therapists will love him 1/4 as much as I do.
Lastly, we have this plague going around our house. It started with a cough that won’t go away, post nasal drip, sore throat, and morning gagging. Then we got that warm front, as we do every January, and it’s evolved into more flu like symptoms with sore throat, sneezing, and fever. I’m not impressed. I don’t have time to be sick. I can pencil it in two weeks from today.
UGH. The plague! LAME!
Seriously, they finally go back to school and then HE CAN’T GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

Oh so that’s what’s going around! We’ve got it too with the man and I being the worst. After the flu over Christmas break we don’t have the time or energy for the plague either! Hope you all feel better soon!

I swear every time we get the “January Thaw,” it brings cooties.
Good luck with your IEP meeting. I always say that I’m going to prepare for them and never do. Luckily I have a good team that I can trust to make reasonable goals. I hope it goes well and that you are feeling better!

You know what, I completely enjoyed this post. It is just what I wanted to read, I love posts like this – it is just what my life is like (sans kids; add doggies).
I had the plague right around Christmas, but I had a wicked migraine yesterday because of an air pressure change and spent most of the day in bed (except for when I was up vomiting). And, I’m completely worried about the governments of Pakistan and Korea because I don’t want my son to be activated to either of those places – he just got home!
See… we are all the same. Thanks for making me feel normal! HUGGLES… love you!
