School Days

This school year has been particularly challenging because Angel started Kindergarten and Isaiah is in preschool still which means different times for pickups and only one mama. I should add to further complicate things that the bus stop is on the opposite end of our one way street and I need to use the double stroller to safely get them there. I've been dealing with this by leaving Isaiah in his room waiting till the last minute and running Angel to her bus early in the morning but social workers don't like that even though given my situation they admitted they would probably do the same thing. Then Angel started having severe muscle weakness and seizures from stress and fatigue after school so I arranged an IEP meeting to shorten her day to Isaiahs times and she's much better now. Man does it suck to go through IEP meetings alone. It feels like I won a wrestling match. They continue to guilt me about what she's missing out on but I remind them she has Art Therapy Speech Therapy Stage Play and Polinsky after school so she's covered. And  I offered to do homework with her after school on the math class she misses but so far the teacher hasn't sent any home. I'm also sending cold lunches as I discovered that gluten and processed foods and dairy mess up their tummies. I am taking a 2 week break due to a torn meniscus in my knee but as soon as I return this will be our routine: school 10-3 mon-fri. Art Therapy and Stage Play Mondays Pacific Child Autism ABA Behavior Aid Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays Speech Therapy Wednesdays and Polinsky Thursdays. They go to dadys on weekends and he has them now so I can recover. We also have pcas during the week so they can take the kids to do things mama cant cuz of my knee. Angel has an mri on halloween so keep her in prayer.
