We had our first Parent Teacher conference of this school year. It was the best report card Brian has ever had. I think Paige (Brian's teacher) expected more feedback from my x husband and myself, but we were in such a state of (thrill) shock we couldn't speak. Brian got his first straight A ever - in Math and it looks as if the specialized auditory processing treatment is bringing up his reading and writing scores. He scored high in Science and Social Studies too.
It is interesting when we get what we pray for. I prayed, searched, argued and fought to get Brian the help he so desperately needed - FIVE LONG years of it. And BOOM, in a day ... we arrived. Now, I have to turn and look at my own life. I have set aside so much while working my ass off trying to get Brian moving forward in school. He is taking off with it and the confidence he is feeling is amazing to witness. I am loving it.
So now I should be hiking and working on getting well every day...r i g h t. What is it about us mothers that we can focus so clearly on our children and rescue them, and yet find it difficult to "do" for ourselves? It has been a long time since I have thought of myself ... I am not even sure where to begin.
Yes, I have maintained the blog and started writing again...
Geesh...what in the hell am I going to be like when he graduates from whatever and moves out of the house? Am I becomming my mother? (The thought sends me screaming from the room).
