For some reason this didn’t post earlier!

I’m feeling a lot better today. Granted, we did pull a LITTLE trick this morning. My van keys happened to be in the bedroom, so I grabbed them at 6, and hit the panic button. It only got ONE of them up, but hey, that was an improvement over yesterday!

Homeschool-wise, we’re all caught up and on track. I’m managing, but I still sometimes worry that I’m going to miss some crucial point that he NEEDS TO KNOW! But mostly, I think we’ll be fine. Pez is going to the regular school each day for gym/music/art, so he is still getting some interaction with other kids. I’m torn on the value of it, though. It does disrupt our day, although truth be told, he could be completely finished with pretty much all of his homeschool stuff by the time he goes to school at 1, if he really focused. Alas, that’s his biggest problem – focus. The first few days, though – it really was a struggle to get him refocused when he got back, and I was feeling like maybe it was doing more harm than good. He has settled down somewhat, so we’ll see how the next few weeks go. The school has been AWESOME about working with us. He does gym/music/art, and he can check out books and such. I’m kind of wanting to ask whether or not he could participate in the standardized testing, to make sure he stays on track, but I’m also not sure how I’d handle it if his scores dipped! (He always tests very highly on the standardized tests – if he’s had his meds.)

Hubs and I spent a little time reconnecting last night, and it was really needed. It seems silly when I’m writing it out, to say that he and I can get disconnected in just a matter of a week or two, but it really does happen. The thing is, when we’re good, we’re great. So the slightest misalignment, and it just feels like life is crashing down a little. It’s like having a popcorn kernel stuck in your teeth…it’s just a little thing, but creates a lot of discomfort!

I have to say, though – I’m really impressed with him. Lemon Drop had a doctor appointment this morning that didn’t go the way Hubs wanted it to. He got all huffy and blustery about it, and then realized what he was doing. He took a minute off the phone to stop, pray, and redirect himself. In the past, that never would have happened. He was kind of known for his rants! It is so awesome seeing the changes God is making in him.

Anyway – that’s about all I have to blab about today. I’m looking forward to the long weekend. I’m hoping the baby might allow us to sleep in a little bit at least ONE day!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
