WELL THE WEEK HAS JUST BEEN CHOCKED FULL OF STUFF SO WHERE DO I BEGIN???MONDAY -VALENTINES DAY I HAD THE DUBIOUS HONOR OF A MEETING AT IRC [ INLAND REGIONAL CENTER ] AN APPEAL FOR PARENT VOUCHERED RESPITE WHICH I HAVE SPOKE OF SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS JOURNAL I WISH TO MAINTAIN RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY RESPITE AND NOT GO TO AGENCY RESPITE AND IRC IS TRYING TO CONVERT EVERYONE TO AGENCY RESPITE. I TRUELY TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE MOTIVES BEHIND IRC TO MAKE THIS MOVE BUT I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE SIMPLE ACT THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME. I BELIEVE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE INDIVIDUALS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THAT WAY THE MEETING WAS OK ANSD LEFT ME WITH HOPE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO REMAIN INTACT AS A PARENT PROVIDER. THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS IRC ND I WILL TRY TO WORK ON TH POSSIBILITIES--WHO KNOWS???
TUESDAY WAS COLLEGE DAKOTA ENJOYSM THE UCDD PROGRAM SO MUCH WE WILL MISS IT GREATLY WHEN IT COMES TO N END. WE GOT SOME BAD NEWS WHEN HIS COACH TOLD US SHE IS MOVING ON TO A NEW JOB WITH SYLVAM LEARNING CENTERS-- WE WILL MISS HER A GREAT DEAL-- JUST ANOTHER "THING" DAKOTA WILL LEARN TO LIVE WITH--ABANDONMENT ISSUES ARE VERY DEVASTING TO HIM.
WEDNESDAY DAKOTA WENT DOWN FOR HIS CALIFORNIA ID AND I CANT BELIEVE HOW WELL HE DID WITH THE LINES THE CROWDS AND THE NOISE.
THURSDAY IS THE START OF A NEW SURVIVOR AND HE HAS BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO IT SINCE THE LAST SERIES ENDED IN NOVEMBER HE IS A REALITY SHOW NUT--I SUPPOSE I SHOULD WRITE MARK BURNETT
AND WE ARE FRIDAY NIGHT--OH HOW I SHOULD THANK MY LUCKY STARS FOR ALL THE SUCCESSES B U T I AM STILL STRUGGLING WITH MY PERSONAL IRRITATION OF DAKOTAS O C D [OBSESSIVE COMPLUSIVE DISORDER] HE HAS BEEN REALLY DIGGING HIS HEELS IN ESPECIALLY WITH THE FOOD AND THE BEDTIME . IT IS OVERWHELMING FOR ME TO CONTROL MYSELF AND NOT FLY OFF THE HANDLE WITH HIM. I KNOW HE CANT CONTROL HIS THOUGHT PATTERNS AND HIS INABILITY TO BREAK FROM ROUTINE AND I ALSO KNOW THAT MOST OF THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR FADES BUT SOMETIMES THE ROAD IS VERY VERY VERY L O N G . YOU HAVE TO TIE A STRING AROUND YOUR BRAIN TO REMEMBER THIS TOO SHALL PASS . THE WORSE THING YOU CAN DO IS REACT OR GET ANGERED BY IT - IT DOES NOT BENEFIT YOUR CHILD AND ITS PRETTY MUCH FUDAL ANYWAY!
I CAN SAY THAT THIS JOURNAL HAS HELPED ME AND I HOPE EVENTUALLY IT WILL CATCH ON TO OTHERS AND THEY CAN DERIVE THEIR OWN HELP FROM WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN.
OH YES PLEASE DONT FORGET 810 AM AND 910 AM FEB 21 THRU 25 ON NBC THER WILL BE 10 EXERPTS ON AUTISM
