Time is just moving so quickly now.. I feel like there's so many things I want (or wanted) to do--to start. to finish. And now it's almost Holiday time, so I will have to put things off even more.
My son finally went back to school today. He just turned 6 in October. We had enrolled him in a Private Catholic School at the beginning of the year, but he has Autism (which wasn't really much of a problem in pre-school) and so it was sort of unexpected that he would have such a difficult time with the program at a private school, but I guess with no extra help (like an aid, or sensory breaks and good stuff like that...) what were we really thinking?? So.. he's been out of school, home with me since the end of September sometime (i think, it all feels like one really LONG day to me).
Anyway.. today was the first day BOTH the kids went to school and I had THREE GLORIOUS HOURS to M Y S E L F!
WOW.. I had no idea three hours could make such a difference. Life is starting to seem like it's going to be OK again.. lol. I say that lightly since we're still fighting with the school district over my son's IEP and even over what Public School Placement is the most appropriate for him (free and appropriate education and all that, ya know??), but we have a Lawyer who's working on most of the fighting for us.. so at least I can't screw it up that bad, guess we'll see how good she is at the meeting later this week!
I also wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent me well-wishes for my Mother-in-Law (who was in the Hospital the week of Thanksgiving..) She was released on Saturday, but told not to leave the house for two more weeks. She's still recovering, but she's getting better everyday.. and I'm so thankful for that! This Thanksgiving was just very strange without her. And then we found out on the way to dinner that night that our Auntie was also in the Hospital (same hospital) with some intestinal problems. So.. at least they were together (in a sense), but all of us at the house really felt the impact of their absence.. it was strangely eerie and none of us really wanted to think about it too much, because one day, not that far off someone will be missing.. and it will be heartbreaking.
The last thing I wanted to mention (if you haven't bailed already on this more than depressing post...) is that my Mom and my sister moved out of the state today. They are on their way to Illinois as I type this... Leaving, on a Jet Plane. Ya, it was really disappointing that they couldn't find enough time for more of a goodbye. They stopped in this morning from 8:05 am -8:20 am while I was flying through the house trying to get everyone ready for school, while attempting to hold it together enough to still drop everyone off (and not have the teachers think I'm more nuts than I am...)
So far December is not ranking high up on my favorite month's list for 2008... but I believe in Magick more than anything and so I'm hoping I'll be able to change all that by the Next Full Moon. After the whirl-wind that was November, it's time to regain control of my life and start intending and allowing rather than just sitting back and watching.. nothing good ever comes from that!
Hope everyone has a Peaceful Day!
