Today I learned the danger of sending Matthew to school...shopping! Yes, retail therapy. I dropped $100 at Kohl's without even trying and everything I bought was on clearance...60-80% off (that's almost free, right?!).
Seriously, now that Matthew is away from me 27 hours per week I have so much more free time. I plan to use it wisely and read books on autism, join a support group, continue to chat on-line with my autism board, read autism blogs (do you notice a theme?), and oh yes, diet and exercise to lose lots of weight (fun!). I have also signed up to be a volunteer at his school, not in his class but in the main office and as an instructional assistant. Maybe I can sneak a peak through his classroom window while I am there!

Oh cod. We just god Kohls around here and it's going ot be the death of my bank account. I got a coat there for $12.50 the other day! For me and my fat butt! WOOO!
I hope Matthew does well in HIS alone time too! Kinda jealous. We just (thankfully) upped Liam's school time from 4 hours a week to 8 1/2 (pitifully low, I know) and all that running around and me being there is wearing me out! I almost look forward to his going to 'real' school preschool next year.
Almost. I'll miss my baby!
Yeah for volunteering at his school. At least you can probably peek in!
I think it's great that you have some time for yourself. I know Matthew's diagnosis is fairly recent, and it's easy to get overwhelmed with everything at times. My son was diagnosed at 15-months and just started preschool (he just turned four) this fall. Although I worry about him all the time when he is gone, it is nice to have a break from therapy and keeping a constant eye on him for a few hours here and there. Make sure you take the time to recharge your batteries!! :)
