cha-cha changes

changes on the horizon

in just one short week and a couple of days 
two of my three children will be in school full-time
Arlo starting - Myla switching

I feel a great sense of comfort knowing that
my kiddos will be only 3 minutes away
I can be a presence in this school
Exhale

the hubs
has taken on a "second" job
doing amazing things with his god given talent
"No - it's not exotic dancing - wink wink"
Tattooing
He had tattooed for a moment back in our "carefree" days
it was a different scene 
 not nearly as mainstream as it is today
now - you can make a living
hopefully we could get to that place within the year

Other changes 
nothing too exciting with Leo and I
maybe I will finally wean the small football player
take a mommy and me library class
enjoy some "baby days" before I blink and he too is off to school

Still feeling very overwhelmed with decisions for the Fall
extracurriculars - therapy - schedules
I feel like I've come to a conclusion - make a firm stance
only to have someone tell me
it's really "not recommended" and that "studies have shown"
Yada Yada Yada
I am very pulled -- to do what I think is right for my son ... 
Mother knows best ... Right!?

fast forward summer

fast forward summer
a lot to catch up on

Al is doing really great with therapy
speech and OT
swimming amazing
However ... a slight
 hiccup with ABA therapy 
more like a couple of grand worth of co payments
not at all expected
actually assured that we did NOT
 have a co payment
BAM 
5x a week x 3 months = an awful surprise

once school begins
a little worried about over doing it
thinking speech and OT with everyday all day Kindergarten
Oh, my ...
chest is actually tightening
  a small spark of panic feels my heart
ALL DAY
EVERYDAY
My Al

I have so much more to write about
just not enough time
to accomplish this

to be cont...
