My son's family moved & I've spent the summer chasing kids, and doctor appointments. I went from easy access to my 1st grandchild to their relocating 3 hours away. Not an easy change for this first time grandma. Compound that with my daughter's many doctor appointments, and making sure my middle son gets to his summer job, I've spent the summer indoors, ignoring my yard, & trying to ignore any drama. I was feeling just a little more than overwhelmed with all the changes in our life within the last year.
School started? Where did the summer go? It's August, really? With every school year, I fear the IEP's & the battle for inclusion. My 15 year old tested out of special ed? How does that happen. Don't misunderstand me, it was a proud mama moment. BUT.. I have to admit, I'm more than a little uneasy about this. There's proof now that he can do it, and I've been promised a backup plan. (Pause to pick my daughter from work) We live 10 miles from town...I was just entering town when my daughter's boss called. She was having a seizure. 5 minutes until she clocks out & her day is done, she didn't make it. My brain is tired, I can't imagine how her brain feels. I think I know where our summer went. It's August and maybe a nap is in order, for both of us.
