It's been ages since I've posted last. Sorry about that.
I've had such good intentions this summer. I've finished orientation at work, I took the summer off school, and Waylon is only in therapy two days a week now. I should be blogging up a storm, right?
It's just that I've been having way too much fun.
After a semi-stressful spring, where we
a) Made Waylon's kindergarten plans
b) Made Waylon's summer therapy plans
c) Stressed for hours over a and b
d) Enrolled Rose in pre-school
e) Signed Caden up for coach-pitch
f) Started a new job
g) Started back to school
h) etc, etc, etc.
I made an epic, life-altering, mind-blowing conclusion.
This is dumb.
I mean, sure, all the experts say kids with autism should have 40 hours of therapy per week. But who cares if they can talk or not if they don't even know which one of these people is their mother? And who cares if I get my Bachelors degree or not if I get committed to the State Hospital and lose my job anyways?
Life is too short.
So, we cut Waylon's hours back to just 2 days a week. We hired a rocking awesome teenager to come to the house and watch the kids while I'm at work. (Every kid should get to sleep in in the summer time, right?) And I took the summer off of school, so I could really enjoy my new job (which I love) and really enjoy my days off, without homework (which has been amazing). We got a plastic pool and a fire pit. We roasted hot dogs and s'mores and blew off fireworks. We are just having fun.
Which brings me to my next point. In approximately 18 hours we are heading on a family road trip/vacay. The house is a mess, nothing is packed, but-
I'd rather be blogging. (This seems to be a trend...)
