Not your ordinary week...

I'm ready for this week to be done.  And it's only Tuesday!  But next week is school vacation, and I'm really ready for it.  Marcel is away until late Thursday, and my mom is here helping out, but the sleep schedule is messed up because the kids have a hard time settling down when their routines are disrupted.  Josh started anti-anxiety medicine yesterday, and it will be a little bit before we know if it's working, but we're really hoping it does.  He's had a rough time in school lately, which is an understatement, so we need something to change.

Aidan has spent the last several days participating in the school's preschool program so they can do some academic testing on him, and he loves it.  Absolutely LOVES it.  But he doesn't get to keep going--Friday is his last day, and I think it's going to destroy him for a bit.  He has been enjoying it so much.  It's so hard.  They're saying that he doesn't seem to have any academic issues that would warrant coding him, so there's not going to be any reason to bring him in as a special education student, but I inquired about their other program that lets regular students come with tuition and they're completely filled up and have a waiting list a mile long.  

Zach's complaining about his stomach hurting for days, too.  It's just one of those weeks.
