New School Year Posted By: ddzlaw

Today, both children started their first day of school. Both are going to new schools this year, so I'm a little stressed.

My 5-year-old starts Kindergarten at a parochial school, which is 5 miles away. She is my ADHD child, and her bus trip is scheduled to be an hour (although I hear the return trip is 1 and 1/2 hours). I'm hoping she can hold it together.

My 10-year-old starts fourth grade at the intermediate elementary school this year. Unfortunately, he has a completely new group of kids in his class (except for one). Because he has diabetes in addition to his autism, I'm scheduled to be at his school this afternoon to go over his medical plan. I feel like I'm starting all over again -- I just got the teachers at the old school trained and now I have to train a completely new set of people. Arghhh!

Anyway, I'm hoping for the best, and I'm trying not to be too pessimistic about things.

Tomorrow I go back to work (I've been off for the last 3 days). I have a feeling it will be an interesting year.

Sounds like you're ready for the worst, just keep hoping for the best. Sometimes, things go better than we think they will, and I hope they do for you and your kids.
