1/2 yr. already....

Wow so much has changed in a half a yr.

April, I turned 32. Ugh, I'm getting old:) Went to Michigan for a weekend. It was fun, but as always rushed.

May, 12 yr.s of marriage! Wow, now I really do feel old!! Also started going back to ABC.

June, Mike had his SDR, and he and I lived in Columbus for the month. It was a long month, but a very productive one.

July, Greg turned 4. How did that happen so quickly? Bill, Bep. and the group came up for the 4th of July. I spent the month trying to get my life back in order. Mike had therapy twice a week in Marietta.

Aug., went back to Michigan for Homecoming. It was fun, and the hotel up there is really nice. I think we've found our place to stay from now on :) The boys started school, and I had a job fall into my lap.

Sept., Mike turned 6. 6 already!! Now I think I'm seeing gray hair. Bob started school at OU. I had to go back to Michigan to deal with my mom.

Wait is it possible that we are only half way done with September? That can't be right. I've done enough now to last me the rest of the month, and well into October. UGH....

Half a month has gone by... What have I done? I've been stranded on the side of the road. I've been to Columbus once, Logan once, Marietta twice. Athens about every other day. I've been on the phone for hours trying to get information on where to send Mike next yr. I've been trying to get my house under control. I've been to church three times :) I've made cookies, cooked way to much meat loaf for 7 people, and snuggled with my kids. I've watched more episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" than I can count. Totally mind numbing, but, I just love that show:) I've been getting phone numbers and contact information of family's that have had an SDR done.

I've fallen deeper in love with my husband, my children and my God. I've stopped to take a moment, or two to enjoy what I have. Ya know what. Half a month has Flown by...

School Daze.....

So this past Friday, I had a meeting with the staff at Carleton to try and figure out what to do with Mike next yr. It was interesting, but as always a little difficult. This was NOT the IEP meeting, but just a general planning meeting. To see where we go from here. So where do we go from here? Interesting question....

Living where we do, Meigs county, we are intitled to "open enrollment" meaning we can apply to send Mike to any of the schools in our county. That would be Southern, Eastern or Meigs. Meigs is a given because that's the district we live in. Frankly, I'm not happy with the scores I've seen with Meigs. Eastern is the best district, then Southern is a distant second, but both are better than Meigs. So today I have spent on the phone trying to figure out the open enrollment system. I'm not as confused as I was, and have started to understand it, but, it is going to be an interesting spring. Open enrollment starts on April 1, 2010. I need to go to each schools webpage and print off an open enrollment form, fill it out, send it in, with a copy of the 10/11 IEP, and pray for the best.

All this on top of trying to decide when to do Mikes surgery. Hum.... Maybe I've got a bit to much on my plate :) Oh-well, it will all work out, of that I am sure.
