End of Spring!

Yesterday, I was stuck on the thoughts that Spring break is almost over but today my thoughts are more on focused on preparing for the school week that is ahead of us. On top of getting back in the grove of things and dealing with Jeremiah’s busy schedule, we also have to be prepared for a week of challenging behaviors as he adjust back to his school routine.  I sometimes wish we could prove that Jeremiah loses information by not going to school year round but I can’t.  The fact of the matter we spend a lot of time with Jeremiah adjusting to going school and the routine.  This year we have dealt with lots of behavior issues and every time we get adjusted then we face another break. Wahoo, no school again. But we made it through it all.

So this week will be a busy hectic one for Jeremiah.  Not only will he go to school Monday through Friday, he will be busy after school. Tomorrow maybe we will get a treat as a reward for us making it through day one.  Dewey’s has free cake squares on Monday.  Tuesday will consist of school and horseback riding. Both Wednesday and Thursday will consist of school and therapies and after all that we make it back to Friday.  Monday and Fridays are the only days we don’t have anything scheduled.  While he is at school, I will spend my time exercising, cleaning, looking for a job, reading, looking into summer camps and some classes to improve my skills. Even though I currently do not have a job, I do find plenty of stuff to keep me busy and his school day flies by. Yay!!! Tomorrow is the beginning again of busy full days that I love and would not trade for anything in this world.

Tomorrow, I will take him to school and remind him to be good and listen to his teachers.  Although, I realize this is almost a joke.  He gives his teachers literally a run for their money.  Jeremiah is what many refer to as runner.  I can always hope that he will be good and have I hopes that he will but I will not be surprised when he is not.  This has been the story of this school.  So as many parent look forward to their kids going back to school this week, I in a way will be dreading and the fact that I will pick him up and most likely find a note about him not listening.  As the week goes on, he’s behavior may get better or than again it may take another week before he gets back in the swing of things.  Good news is that the kids only have one day of no school left before the end of school year so this last chunk of a break is the end.  We have made to the end and it is an uphill battle from here.  Hopefully the end will bring us better behavior as we do not have breaks left.  It takes all year to get through all the breaks and we have made it.  The end is near.

I will dearly miss him as he returns to school but I know it is good for him. Tomorrow we go back to the fast pace life and to behavior issues but the year is almost over.  One step at a time and one day at time till we get to the end.  Summer will be here before we know and then hopefully days filled with fun.
