This may explain why I occasionally disappear from posting for long periods of time. Time actually just gets away from me.
P is for….Preoccupied
Preoccupied with reading.
Reading about Apraxia and Sensory Integration Disorder.
Reading listservs about the above topics or treatment plans.
Reading research on treatment plans and interventions.
Reading the federal statutes regarding special education law.
Reading how to best advocate for my daughter.
Reading case law and judicial decisions as they come down that relate to special education law.
And so it goes…..
There are times that days will pass and I will realize that I don’t remember much of what has occurred for the previous 72 hours other than the above activities and taking Anna Grace back and forth to therapy. A few weeks ago I decided that I was going to put limits on myself. I can only read about these things/answer emails/ read the advocacy stuff, etc for 1 hour a day. That worked for a week. Next thing I knew I was sucked in again.
I need to blog or knit or step away from this. Instead there are many weeks (depending on how Anna Grace is doing for a particular day/week) that I’m nearly obsessed. It’s not healthy. It’s not good for me. It’s not good for Anna Grace. I have got to do a better job of self-regulating. That’s my goal for September…. force myself to focus on other things. For me and for Anna Grace. So, if I disappear again send me an email and tell me to get my head out the books and come up for air. A little accountability could probably do me some good.
oooh you have some good books there!
I have one of them!
hmmm..not to feed the obsession but have you been to the Wright’s Law site?
now don’t go there.. knit something!
oh!
I was reading frantically hoping that you weren’t fixin’ to sign off on us.
Total simpathy and selfishness… keep the blog and the knitting and the reading and studying… just do it all… what the hell!
I’m glad you weren’t signing off and I so wish there were something I could do to help… all I can do is be sympathetic and hope that you manage to get things just the way you like them.
My schedules been a little crazy lately and no signs of letting up for a month or more… so I am feeling you pain, somewhat.
best always,
