Yesterday was my first day back at work. It was an 8 hour day. I took hourly breaks to walk and move my arms. During my lunch break, I did my 10 minute headspace meditation program and rested in bed an additional 10 minutes or so. After school, Roger had homework and then Occupational Therapy. After OT, we had our normal Chick-fil-A dinner and play date with his friend at our house. It was a long day, especially since part of my workload occurred between the 7 to 9 o’clock hours. I was very sore by the time I went to bed and woke up pretty sore too.
Today, I, again, took breaks and had my meditation/rest time during lunch. This afternoon will be pretty packed with Roger having a trial singing lesson at School of Rock, followed by his swimming lesson, followed by dinner at my parents house, followed by spelling homework, followed by showers/bed. I’m exhausted thinking about it! However, the routine and new 5 minutes-per-hour (in the morning) exercise schedule has put me in a better mood than I have been.
I am hoping my health, wellness, and recovery will flourish.
Today I am very hopeful.

Leah, The one thing I learned as Div. Coord. of Macy’s, attending all kinds of conferences was that the parents of a special needs child go far and above any parent of the “so-called” normal children. Roger’s schedule is thrilling! It’s no wonder you feel as though you’ve been through the ringer! YOU HAVE! Things for you will get better, if only your body gets used to this new routine and the pain becomes manageable! I’m always praying for you and Roger. You really are fabulous!
