Inclusion
Giving Time (Day 177 of 365)
Sunday, May 16th 2010
Yesterday, Jorden and I came up with an idea. We thought it would be awesome if he wrote an entry every week. What do you think about this? Summer is fast approaching and the kiddos will be leaving in about a month to visit their Dad in Tennessee. They will be gone for 6-8 weeks. I thought it would be awesome if Jorden emailed me pictures and wrote an entry about the things that they have been doing while they are gone. Therefore, we started it last night. I think as the time goes on this will also help him with his grammar and spelling, and I predict that he will get more and more into writing. He already likes to read our blog, and with him writing every week…he’ll be sure to put his heart into it.
I Will Not Be Defeated! (Day 175 of 365)
Friday, May 14th, 2010
I had a scheduled non-formal meeting this morning at 7am with Taylor’s teacher. The plan was that her and I were going to sit down and discuss some of the components and goals & objectives I would like Taylor to be working on in the next year. We wanted to have this ready for next weeks IEP. I had been planning for this meeting and showed up at 7am and found the Teacher had called in. I was never informed, therefore I wanted to speak to someone so I asked to speak to the Administrator that was over her, and he left me waiting for an hour. I needed to get to work myself, so I had to leave.
The Special Glasses (Day 173 of 365)
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010
As I was getting ready this morning it crossed my mind AGAIN that Taylor will be entering her last year of High School and Jorden & Erin will be entering their last year in middle school. Wow! It’s really happening…..they are growing up! If there ever was a time that my children should be filmed it should be the next year. I have so many questions about the future and feel that I will be entering a whole new territory. Next year, Taylor will become an adult and will be graduating from High School. This is why I often discuss her education more than the other two, since we are entering such an important milestone. Even the thought of this brings tears to my eyes. She is so small, and so immature, yet such an important presence in this World that I want to make sure that she is given the best possible chance to live a life full of joy, love, independence, and self-worth.
Warming the Heart (Day 166 of 365)
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
Today is going to be a short and simple entry. I was on the treadmill this evening contemplating on what I was going to share today. I began thinking of cute little moments I had with each of the kiddos today. I thought I would share how each of them warmed my heart just a little bit more today.
