It's been an interesting week. I wanted to blog and vent about a few subjects, but I didn't for various reasons. As much as I love the whole social networking thing, I'm not a fan of online drama and have no desire to participate in kerfuffles.
Also, lots of the cool, happy stuff I could write about involves sekrit projects that have to remain under my hat for the next few months. *sigh*
Caitlin had an okay week. She's very up and down with her device. I realize we need to be patient, but my heart breaks every time I get a mediocre note from school about her progress. I then blame myself for not being a good enough parent, even though I know I'm doing everything I can to incorporate the device into her life. I just wish I could make Caitlin understand that this device is her voice and not just a way to make her do more schoolwork.
I rejoined an organization for children with special needs this week that I used to chair. Everybody seemed genuinely happy to see me. It felt good to be back in the swing of things after taking some time off due to burnout. I like to get out there to try to make the world a better place for kids like Caitlin.
Other than that, I'm working on a short story again. The writing is slow going, but at least it's happening.
How's everybody else doing?
