So far so good....

For those sitting on the edge of your seats for the continuing saga  (I just always wanted to say that) I thought I should update this quickly.  This week we have managed to get a temporary schedule in place, and so far it seems to be working. In many selfish ways, I miss my full days of not having my children (and husband home). I enjoyed being able to clean a closet and garage and having no one to answer to, go out for lunch and not have to worry about being home until 230. However, I have a happy Kourtney at 1130 when she comes home.

Last year, almost everyday when she came home, she was so wiped out!  The most difficult thing for me to hear was the isolation Kourtney faced when she was at school. Her lunches were spent alone. I do think there were friends with good intentions, but Kourtney did not have the energy to put into those friendships. Kourtney was so sad 90% of the time and that took a toll on me. Of course there were some friends who completely ignored her and would not give her the time of day, and that hurt beyond measure. So now Kourtney's bus schedule is set up for her to stay until after lunch, however, she still has the "control" to come home earlier if she has nothing to do. She is happy about having some say in what she will be doing.

The caregivers are working out well! Chelsea, Megan and April - we are so thankful for you guys. We are also looking forward to the return of Kelly in November - Kelly just had major surgery yesterday in Toronto. Kelly, we love you and praying for fast healing beyond human understanding!
