It’s been a busy and productive week in the way of errands. Got the ball rolling finally for Little Bear’s IEP. Hopefully there will be a meeting soon that will involve getting it set up rather than them rejecting it yet again. Also getting prepped for NaNoWriMo this year for the first time ever. I’m hoping my mood and energy levels hold out for all of this. Already I can feel myself dip again. Maybe I need to make a stricter effort to bring physical activity into my routine and not just for my kiddos. Sure I’ll be more tired by the end of the day at first but it might pay off with greater alertness during the day in the long run. All I know is right now I feel like I have this weird sense of “blah” wrapped around me as I write this at the end of the week. And I still need to take my middle son to a school dance later tonight…. @_@ Somehow I always get roped into staying as a chaperone at the last second when I try to drop him off. Hanging out with 6-8th graders, in the dark, at a dance where no one actually dances, is not exactly what I call a thrilling time. We’ll see how it goes.
