It has been a few days since I have blogged. I have missed it. For starters, Patrick's half days seeme to be working ofr him. Yesterday was an IEP meeting that I had asked for to discuss reevaluation. We missed our long time OT, who doesn't work at the school any longer, and our school social worker, who is out on FMLA. Patrick didn't advocate as strongly for himself as he would have had they been there. At any rate, he is going to be retested in specifically in the areas of mathmatics. They have 60 days to get that done in. Whenever it is done, we will reconvene and go over the results and lock down an IEP with the new data.
I met with dear friend Cathy. It is amazing how you just casually meet someone and they become such a good friend. I really enjoyed my time with her.
Sheila, if you read this. we are supposed to arrange a time after the 27th to get together. I am sure it will be fun for all of us. I miss the fact that we don't' get together after school any more; we should do that once in a while. What do you think?
I am ready for Christmas. The only reason I am is because we really cut back this year, and we are having smaller scale decorations in the house. I like it thought, because I don't seem to have the energy to do something big for the holidays.
Mark says that he notices a change in my behavior. I am just very laid back about everything. I believe it is the medication as well as a change of attitude. I am a bit frustrated right now as I have managed to misplace my drive that has my books on it. I spend most of the day the previous two days looking for it, but can't find it. I am sue it will turn up some where.
That leads me to 10 things that I like about me.
1. I have friends who want to spend their precious time with me.
2. I have enough information and creativity to attemtp to write a book, even if it never gets published.
3. I have a roof over my head, because it is cold outside.
4. I have the drive to get out of bed in the mornings.
5. I have the ability to choose to be productive during my day.
6. I have things in my lie that I look forward to. like this blog.
7. I do not live in Illinois, and can say that I didn't vote for Blogoyvitch (because I would have).
8. I have an ever growing group of friends.
9. I can detach from things when I need to, at least most of the time.
10. I can type.
