Spring Break, Next Summer Fun!

As Spring break comes to an end, I find myself longing for summer break and days filled with spending the day with my son.  We made many great memories this week but then I’m reminded that I am currently unemployed and hopefully well before Summer I will have a job. This is the first time since he was a baby that I had Spring break off to spend with my son.  We spent our days spending time together indoors, having Easter fun, going to a couple parks, eating out, spending time with great friends, an outing to Chuck E Cheese, getting new glasses, and just having fun. I have thoroughly enjoyed all this time with him and am finding this season of my life to be a blessing.  My son is growing up entirely too fast and I want spend more time with him.  I am hoping to somehow find the best of both worlds. Hoping for something that is flexible but a better opportunity overall. My son has therapies several times a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday). He receives speech, occupational, and physical therapy along with horseback riding.  As a single parent, I feel a strong need to be involved with these therapies. I am looking at my unemployment as a new opportunity that God has given me for a better life.  Not sure where He is taking me.  As I look forward to long Summer days with my son, I know that I will be searching for a job that I hope becomes a career for me or prepares me for something better. On top of searching for the perfect job that offers me many new opportunities, I will also be searching for summer camps for my son.  Summer camps are challenge to find that will meet his needs.  Our current biggest need is he is not potty trained.  This will come in time but I need a camp that will accommodate this need.  O the challenges of being a parent in general, a single parent, and a parent to a child with special needs. I love my life though and would not change anything. Following my heart and searching for what best for both of us. Hopefully we can squeeze in lots of family fun, some day trips, visit some new places, and take a trip for a week or maybe a few weekend trips.  Summer quickly approaching for everyone (kids and adults) and there is a lot to do.  And not let the searching and planning begin!!!!
