Deus audiam

• 6 May 2008 - Okay, Deep Breaths Now!

Perhaps I should smile. Perhaps I should laugh. I am not sure which to do.

We had said meeting with Government Official. It looked a lot different to me as the time approached. Didn't want to do it. Hubby gave me go ahead to cancel, but, my kids left Dodge for a few days, and leading up to their leaving, I was quite busy just getting laundry ready for them to go, and didn't get the meeting cancelled in a timely fashion, so we went ahead.

I had actually heard good things about this program from other moms who had used it (locally), and, it turns out that the way the program is set up, I'm in charge of what they do. Anything I don't want, I can say no to. I can ask for a different therapist, or stop altogether, or do more, or whatever.

And, not having the kids aided my comfort level.

And so, today, we had an evaluation (this is a multi-step process to actually begin the therapies). Guess what? Oldest son was doing laundry, 12yo dd was cooking in the kitchen, 10yo was being onery to 3yo, who, although she didn't scream (much), she was quite good at interrupting, and did decide to sit at the piano (in the room where we were) and play for a moment, before I told her that now was not the appropriate time for her to entertain us.

So, I am going to let my little ones be a testimony to these outside strangers looking in on our world, and pray that God is glorified through us, because, we know he's definitely in control.

AHHHH.
