Last week I spent a tremendous amount of time working personal development and learning about both myself and skills that will help build a better business. I am pumped about working toward my goals. Right now the only option is to go up. It is going to get better each day. Love working from home and helping others. And am so very happy with where I am in life. Funny thing is just two years ago I would not be happy in this life. Two years ago was my 10 year high school reunion and my life was nothing like I expected. Now it is so much more. I don't have a four year degree but I have a life that makes me smile everyday. I am so beyond blessed with everything God has given me. His plans are so much better than mine. So very thankful for that.
Last week, I was privileged enough to get to go on Jeremiah's field trip. His class went to the park. Oh, that morning seemed like it was going to be such a yucky day but boy was I wrong. Another way God blessed me. It was misty rainy day all day and a little more at times but his class keep going. The park was not busy (actual only his school's elementary classes were there). The rain keep other kids away and than the rain keep it cool outside which great for Jeremiah. He over heats easily and can get sick when does. During the field trip the class got to see some of the animals, ride the train, ride the carousel, and just have fun. The rain was a blessing in disguise that morning. I am so glad that I got to enjoy the day with his class even in the rain. And all the kids had a great day. After his field trip we had speech. And speech is such a blessing too. We have been blessed with such amazing people in our lives.
The rest of the week consisted of school, occupational therapy, going to the grandparents and me having an event. Oh and of course my nieces first birthday. Jeremiah adores her. It was just the little things left.
For many school is over this week. We still have 9 days left. It is getting close, getting hot out, and some days you just need a treat and some weeks are just extra special and this is one of those weeks. Some days it is an unplanned road trip that goes all wrong but is still special because you are with those you love, sometimes it's an unexpected dinner out for Mexican food, some days a short trip to the park, some days you make brownies, and some days its a trip to get ice cream with all your favorite people. Because I work at home and my loves schedule is pretty flexible right now we did all the above this week except the park. Always good to save something for next week. This week we have so much celebrate. We can celebrate the end of the school year coming up, Jeremiah had open heart surgery 12 years the 25th of May (it was a life saving surgery and miracle of a surgery that only God could play a role in, we had a successful IEP meeting, we checked his pacemaker, Gehry's birthday is this weekend, my parents 31st wedding anniversary is this weekend, and it is Memorial day weekend. And than if you think like I do, everyday is a reason celebrate for we lived to see another day. I am so looking forward to Summer break and celebrating all the little things each day with my family.
This week we had an amazing IEP meeting. So happy with the results. He is staying at his current school, has all new goals since he mastered his old ones, and we love everyone at his school. So very thankful for smooth IEP meeting not that I have had a terrible one. I think it is just the thought of having one as you always hear horror stories of hours on end meetings, parents walking out, and so much more. We really are at a good place in life with everything around us from school, to therapies, to life in general.
And that puts us today! I'm currently making dinner, going to set-up for an event this weekend, and than baths before bed tonight because we got a busy day ahead of us tomorrow. I have a long event tomorrow, juggling baby sitters since my parents are out of town for their anniversary, and birthday celebrating to do. I am once again reminded that it takes a village to raise a child and I'm thankful for those helping us. We have such an amazing support system. It's going to be a busy but a GREAT weekend!!! Hope you have a wonderful Memorial day weekend also.
