I know it has been a long while since I have posted. Fatigue mostly. Mommy burn out. A summer school job. A trip courtesy of the in-laws (really, the nicest gift ever.)
I have been doing attendance at the high school while the boys are in summer school and camps. I should be cleaning the garage. Actually, most of the summer, it was really too hot for that, so what did it matter.
I have had four trips to UVA for Jimmy with one more left this summer. One was on the day of a horrible storm, when we arrived after a two drive just to have both appointments canceled. Everything sort of culminated today with a seizure diagnosis, which isn't unheard of - actually, the doctor said a 1/3 of autistics have seizures. And his are mild (staring spells.) But it is a medication change a month before school. Yay!
I need a summer break from my summer break. And I go back to regular work on the 16th.
But while Jacob was in Texas and Jimmy was with respite providers and relatives (that was a team effort, with E leading the charge and loads of support!), my in-laws gifted us with a trip for our tenth anniversary. With Jimmy's needs, my opportunities to travel will be few and far between - indeed, this is the first time I had ever left the continent, the first time I have left the country since the kids were born, and first time I needed to get a passport. It was amazing. We went to...
