Monday was a pretty rough day--I felt as though I was drowning. Finally, I found a way to organize my files so that they would have a place to go and not get lost, but that still gave me the visual cues I needed. I also had to re-create my schedule almost from scratch after I accidently copied over it. But I made it through the day, and even managed to go to a meeting at the high school about my son's new academic program.

Today was much better. I finished a draft of my schedule and sent it out to all the teachers. I got to meet a few of my more involved students. One is a little girl with Rett's syndrome.Read more about Rett's here. One is a little boy with autism, and the third was a little boy who has MR. They were all sweet kids.

The best part of the day was when my husband came at lunch with a new plant for my room, and a flower arrangement. We have been married 19 years today! What a sweetie! We ate lunch together, and the rest of the day went much better. I am feeling more optimistic that I can get through the bleh stuff (paperwork) and get to the fun stuff, like planning therapy.
