First I spent considerable time on the phone with my insurance provider to determine if they would pay for Jackson's testing. Ultimately their answer was no. Now what? The school tells me he needs testing and medication but the insurance says pay for the $1450 test out of pocket. What do I do? I called the counselor back to see if they had any ideas but haven't heard back. Then Jackson's teacher called and we talked about a behavioral contract agreement and some interim solutions. I feel mildly better.
Austin got into the car after school and said he accidentally got into trouble today at school. I asked him what he accidentally did. He said he didn't walk to class, he bear crawled because he wanted to bear crawl to class. We discussed doing something because you want to is not an accident.
This weekend, I had a zen like retreat at Mary's artsy sparsely decorated farmhouse. Since then, I have daydreamed about living in a home without clutter and chaos. Tonight, Donna 911 came over. We threw away and or gave away one half of the kids toys in the playroom. The kids don't have what they need and they have too much of the things they don't need. We have to get our life back into balance.
My marital home was a 6400 square foot 7 bedroom, 5 bath house. My divorcee rental house is a 2,000 square foot 3 bedroom, 1 bath house. I feel like I've been living in a storage unit for the past two years! I need to streamline my life and get back to the basics.
On a lighter note, this morning was crazy as usual. I asked Holland if she was ready and she said yes, that she was going dressed as a cafeteria worker today. She walked in like this. At least we had a good laugh. (No, she didn't actually go to school like this).
