Sort of. difficult child is home again this morning. She says she will be going for second period. Back to being exhausted. I try to get her to go to sleep sooner, but you cannot force someone to sleep. She went to sleep around 10:30-11 last night. I know she is tired. With IOP it makes for a long day. She goes to school from 7-2:30, so by the time we get home it is around 2:45 or so. Then we have to leave at 3:30 to get to IOP. And it has been running late so we are not getting home until almost 8 at night. And, I like the program, but they only feed the kids a snack. So she hasn't had dinner, or a shower or homework by the time we are home.
And I know that 3 hours of therapy is draining. I just wish we could get our answers for all of this sooner rather than later. I am trying very very hard to not lose my cool over this. I am just such a timely person that it frustrates me to all ends of the earth.
But, it is perspective. I do realize we are so much further ahead than where we were in Dec. So, she is getting better. For that I am beyond grateful. I keep reminding myself baby steps. And we have not had any rages in a while. Some arguing that dies out quickly, and that is about it. Well, time to go wake her up for 2nd period.
