This is a quick list because our desktop computer is on the fritz, and my hubby needs to check his email on my laptop, but anyway, here’s my list for this week:
My To Do List
Check ASD HOPE voice mail daily and return calls as needed. (I only checked it twice over the past week, so I need to be more consistent on this one.)
Find summer childcare for before and after STAP.
Follow up on OT referral so I can make first appointment.
Writing up my “parental concerns” for Michael’s annual IEP meeting. (I have a few disjointed notes, but need to get this organized.)
I’m curious for any of you with kids on the spectrum who work – what are you doing for summer childcare?

I have always been a big list-maker, but lately it’s become even more important. There’s just been so much coming at me that if it’s not written down, it may never get done! Anyway, here’s what on my list for this week:
My To Do List
Check ASD HOPE voice mail daily and return calls as needed.
Distribute information on upcoming events for ASD HOPE.
Work on summer plans for Michael – both regular childcare and STAP.
Follow up on insurance and FSA claims for recent doctor visit and testing.
Find an occupational therapist who deals with sensory processing and also takes our insurance.
Start writing up my “parental concerns” for Michael’s annual IEP meeting.
This list involves way too many phone calls for my liking, and, even worse, involves dealing with the insurance company (ugh!). And dealing with summer planning on top of preparing for the annual IEP just makes this time of year stressful, to say the least – especially with the behavioral issues Michael has been having lately.
Well, hopefully I can get most of this tackled quickly and move on to some items that are a bit more fun!
What’s at the top of your list this week that you don’t want to do?
For those who don’t know, our clothes dryer conked out a little over a week ago, and it has been a crazy experience getting a new one! The old dryer had been purchased by the previous owners of our house in 1970, so it definitely had lived a full life. We measured it carefully before going out to buy a new one, but neglected to take into account the fact that the kitchen had been remodeled sometime in the 1980s.
It turns out the space between the edge of the wall oven and the edge of the counter on the other wall is now just over 27″, and the first dryer we purchased was 29″ wide. While it wasn’t quite that deep, it was still was over 27″ in that direction as well, and so back to the store it (and we) went. The new dryer is coming this afternoon, so as long as all goes well, the laundry marathon can commence!
Stay on top of my afternoon/evening routines so dinner is done and cleaned up in time to get Michael in bed by 8:30.
Spend some time decompressing (i.e. blogging or reading) once Michael is asleep.
Go to bed at a decent hour myself so I am not too tired the next day.
Things to Do
Catch up on all the laundry.
Send in registration for TOPSoccer.
Do homework for IEP workshop.
Email school about Michael’s re-eval and about anxiety/headache from missing his break.
Check ASD HOPE voice mail at least every other day.
Figure out budget for February.

I did much better this week by just focusing on the main things that need to happen every day. I finally saw our new dentist and am SOOOOOO much happier with them than our previous place. I was also pleased to hear that he will be happy to continue referring Michael to the pediatric dentist [...]
I have been feeling stretched in many directions lately, on just about every front. Even at work, I am dealing with a variety of tasks coming in from several sources and getting to know a new boss who works out of a different office than I do. Since I am focusing on decluttering this year, [...]
This is me doing a happy dance because I actually finished everything on my to do list last week. Way to go, me! The list is pretty short this week. I’m trying to allow myself some breathing room so I can keep up with the daily housework and get back into our evening routine now [...]
It was so helpful this last month to break all the Christmas to do items down by week, so I decided to keep going with that system for the coming year. I am an obsessive list maker and would constantly be going through my huge to do list to figure out what to do next [...]
