Is it really time to go back to school already? Mind you, we just got back from vacation, if you would have asked me a week prior I would have said the exact oppostie! Now that I haven't been couped up in the house with them by myself my mindset is a bit different. Plus it's nearly impossible not to miss this view...
It's been a bit of a Catch22 in that we have been slammed back into things. The way I look at it though, I would have been slammed back into it no matter what so might as well do it right!
And by doing it right let me show you a glimpse into our week....
Let's keep in mind that hectic is not good for anyone but especially when you have a child on the spectrum... It makes difficult almost unbearable. And honestly it went rather smooth until the weekend and that is when it all comes flooding out!
Not to mention the second mortgage we took out to buy school supplies and take the kids to the fair! …show more content…
We go to the back of the store where the school supplies are located all the time hoping we might luck up. I'm looking for a lock for their locker that somehow has become the single most important item at least according to my new 5th grader, when Matthew says, "I found coloring pencils and markers!" I go over only to discover this...
Now, I wanted to get it over with as much as anyone but no matter how frustrated I get I will never buy generic school supplies! (And you shouldn't either...) So he proceeds to ask me why about 95 times which by the way is not the way to win an argument...at least not with me! (We didn't buy them if you were wondering...)
Sometime during the end of every school year I toy with the idea of homeschool but it fades pretty quickly Once I realize I can't send them to someone else's home!!! So, here we go again with carlines, practices, and homework. The ole saying "It just is what it is.." saying comes into play and we might as well make the best of
