Relaxing and Chilling

This week, save for one speech therapy appointment, we have had nothing to do. All of A's school-based services were cancelled due to the holiday, and I had cancelled her private OT and PT as they interfered with my romantic get-away with my husband. No ballet, no karate....just relaxing and chilling with the family. My kind of week.

Usually I am running around like a maniac chauffeuring my two kids from one activity to another. I wrote in the spring about my crazy schedule; this year it is even busier:

Monday:
1 hour of speech therapy for A (through the school district)
1/2 hour of adapted P.E. for A (through the school district)
1 hour of speech therapy for A (through our private insurance)
Take A to school

Tuesday:
1/2 hour of physical therapy for A (through the school district)
Take D to karate

Wednesday:
1/2 hour of occupational therapy for A (through our private insurance)
1 hour of physical therapy for A (through our private insurance)
Take A to school
Take D to basketball practice

Thursday:
Take A to ballet
1/2 hour of occupational therapy (through the school district)
Take D to karate

Friday:
1 hour of speech therapy for A (through the school district)
1/2 hour of adapted P.E. for A (through the school district)
1/2 hour of deaf/hard-of-hearing therapy (through the school district)
Take A to school

Saturday:
D has a basketball game
A has 45 minutes of horse therapy


Sunday:
D has Sunday School

This list does not include picking D up from school every day (J takes him daily, thank goodness), picking A up from school 3 days a week, homework, random doctor's appointments, working on the educational foundation I helped to found, playdates, volunteering in D's class once a week, cooking dinner every night, making lunches, and all the various little details that every mom has to do, not to mention the stuff that a mother of a child with special needs has to do. Plus, I need to make time to work out every day, since I'm training for half marathons and triathlons, and read my books for my monthly book club.

So yes, having a week with virtually nothing to do? My idea of heaven.
