Dec. 14, 2007 - Back to School
I just really do need time to finish recovering from the insanity of having these children in our home for the last 7 years. We are finally seeing why we have felt like we are going so crazy all this time. The kids will both be in school full-time (except for pull outs for therapies) on Jan. 8th. I do still hope to do bits and pieces of things with them as I and they are emotioanally able to help them with the areas they struggle in. I have decided to focus on creating a home atmosphere that is enjoyable for my husband and I. We are the caretakers here and we need to be taken care of too. I plan to start with our bedroom. Our oldest daughter is home from college and her Christmas gift to us will be to help redecorate our bedroom. She will do a bit of sewing, windows, we will paint the walls, etc. Our room will be the first room of retreat and peace, lack of clutter and neatness to be created. I have just finally realized that the kids can't thrive if the parents aren't thriving.
