Where has the year gone...

I honestly can't believe it's the beginning of May. Getting ready for graduation parties, Memorial Day and starting to really think about our week at the beach in July. Actully, I've been thinking about that alot. So much so that I'm back to logging food and doing Shaun T's Rockin' Body DVDs according to the schedule, even if it means getting up 2-3 morning a week at 4:15-4:30 so I can workout 6 days a week without sacrificing every evening with JD. I'm even considering Insanity...oh, yes, that Insanity you see on TV. I must be nuts, but I'm not going to beach feeling crummy about being in a bathing suit. I'll let you know if that happens and how it works out...if I haven't collapsed in my basment.

I've been trying to work on figuring out if we'll need before and after school care for JD too. So far, since Reece's schedule is back to 6am-2pm, we may just need before care. However, in order to save money, I may just change my work schedule and come in later so I can get him on the bus and then I'll just have to work until 5:30 or 6. Ugh! So not used to that, but if it saves us money I might. Of course I have no idea what time the bus would pick him up and they can't really tell me since the bell schedule is changing for next year. I still have to get his medical form to his pediatrician and remember to take the dental form to his appointment next Friday.

I know the rest of the school year and this summer are going to fly by. If I figure correctly, he's got 6 more speech sessions left, including today. Then it's up to us to keep his skills up for the summer. I was reading the blog of one of JD's former classmates mom and she was saying how this little boy was dismissed from the program also and was reading at a mid-kindergarten level. Reading?! JD's not reading. I know, I shouldn't listen to other parents about stuff like this and compare JD because all kids are different, but it kind of makes me worry. I need to check into the readiness information they sent home also. I'm trying to work on sight words with him and we still have that "Bridging the Gap to Kindergarten" book to work on. I'm just so worried that we're going to get calls about JD not wanting to cooperate or participate in his class/school work. He doesn't like to be wrong and if he thinks he is, he just doesn't want to participate. That's a habit we need to break.

Another reason the summer wil fly by is that as soon as May rolls around, the weekends start filling up with things to do. As I mentioned we have graduation parties, birthday parties, a few camping weekends, the tubing trip, mother's day and father's day and we still need to get back up to NJ to have the big birthday celebration dinner for mom. I think I need a clone...or more hours in my days.
