So I created this blog a long time ago. I have never tried blogging but would like to try it. So lets get started. Today was not the kind of day that was worth getting out of bed for. I get to class and get handed 2 very important test grades. One was for an exam and one was for a skill check off. I got the scantron for the exam first and YAY, I made a 98!!! Was so excited until I was handed my checkoff sheet. I FAILED!!! WHAT?! Yes, I made a stupid mistake during my checkoff and I am very disappointed with myself. Getting that failing grade made that 98 insignificant.
On another note, nothing cute out of Luke's mouth today. It was a rough "autism" day for him. Getting him to do homework is my biggest challenge and I do not know how to handle it or change it. I just try to stay calm and encourage him to make the choice. Tonight I finally looked at him and said "You don't have to do it if you do not want to". He was excited until I told him he is responsible for his grades and so if he wanted to get a failing grade then that was his choice. It really seemed to work. He finally finished his homework. His baseball coach contacted me today and he will start practice next Wednesday. I'm hoping it goes well.
Lauren had a great day today. Other than the normal bed time fight, she was good. She's been having bed time every night for 10 years....you'd think she would get it by now!
We found out last week that Krista's step-father's prostate cancer may be back. I hope you will all say a prayer for him.
I know that today was just a bump in the road and believe me, through the turmoil, I am still counting my blessings. Hope everyone has a blessed night.
