Exercise, Focus and Attention

Workouts... Trying so hard to get into a new routine. Many days over the past couple of weeks have been okay. I've packed my bag, set out my clothes, arranged food and headed out the door at stupid early. Monday and Tuesday have been easier days to go. By Friday, today, I'm beat from the week. Being sick for almost two weeks and having intermittent middle of the night insomnia (a couple of hours here & there of being awake) make it hard to get up. As does not really knowing what the heck I'm going to do once I get there. I will keep plugging along and it will get easier. I am committed to strength and being able to button my pants.

Therapy classes have begun for Twig. Every Thursday for the next 12 weeks. It's really more of a parenting class, teaching kids to be more self-controlled and focused, and giving parents the tools to help their children be successful.

This week I've been on an all day field trip, attended the "friendship" group at school and sat in on the Therapy group. Twig, while definitely a busy kid, is probably not the most affected ADHD around. It makes me feel a bit better seeing and knowing this but also angers me that he is in trouble for his unique learning style. We have formally requested that the school assess him and develop a formal plan to address his needs. We'll see what they have to say. I am looking for another option, too.

I can't quit my job but I sure would like to give more attention to my boy and his needs as opposed to work. I'm trying to figure out how to do it.
