This month I didn't get much reading or blogging done. My health is back to normal, but I'm finding I have very little time for myself. All of my daughter's schooling and therapies are taking up every moment of my time. I have weekly meetings with her teacher, speech, and occupational therapy. I have a ton of school work to complete with her from her teacher, as well as speech, O.T. and P.E work/activities. To top it off I'm doing virtual ABA therapy 2 hours a day, and since my daughter has severe Autism, I'm having to do everything hands on with her. In essence, I've become her therapist and teacher. She hasn't been sleeping earlier than 2 A.M., so I'm exhausted. She get's in to everything, so I have to watch her every moment, with very little breaks.
I only read/listened to 5 books last month, and have a ton of May review/tour books I signed up for before COVID hit. So I stopped requesting and signing up for books and tours, even though I've been offered books I really want to read. I really miss reading, blogging, and visiting my favorite book blogs! Hopefully, things will calm down a bit, and once she's "out" of school, I'll have a little more time to myself. We'll see...
Thanks to Avon Books
That sounds really stressful. We've had the ot, pt, nurse, doctor and others out at our apartment several times a week for Ken. I haven't had a lot of time to read anything this past month.
ReplyDeleteI know you've been going through a lot Mary. I hope Ken is doing well and you're getting your rest :)
DeleteI'm sorry you're having to deal with all that, Lindy! I think this pandemic has been especially hard for parents with school aged kids, even harder if you have a child with special needs. I hope you get a break soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel :) Me too!
Delete((HUGS)) Lindy. I know it's stressful for you, but your daughter is so lucky to have a mom, who cares so much. I am glad you are in better health, and I am keeping my fingers crossed, that things sort of return to normal at some point in the near future.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam :)
DeleteSending big hugs your way, Lindy. It's so overwhelming at times, isn't it? I am really struggling too, but you have so much more on your plate than I do. I am glad you are doing better, health-wise. Take care of yourself. Stay safe and well.
ReplyDeleteThank You! I hope things get better and look up for you soon too :). Hugs
DeleteThat does sound super stressful. I hope that you're able to squeeze in some time for yourself this month. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. Thanks Suzanne :)
DeleteYou really are wearing all those hats right now and I'm wishing you well to have the stamina to do it. :) Hopefully, being out of school soon will help.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Lindy!
Thanks Sophia! You too :)
DeleteTake a hint danny brown sounds great. It reminds me Love her or lose her by tessa bailty. it has the same color schemes, yellow must be hot in romance now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've noticed a lot of yellow book covers! It's such a happy color, and perfect for the upcoming summer season!
DeleteYour days sounds rather overwhelming, Lindy. I truly hope once the schoolwork stuff is done for the year you'll be able to find a little more time for yourself. Or at least get more sleep!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too!
Deleteoh no I am so sorry to hear it has been such a struggle for you and your family. Sending you love and cheer through this difficult time. Hope you get some time in for reading and sleep.
ReplyDeleteThank You :)
DeleteI cannot wait for "summer" to officially start for my son, because the online learning is stressful. I feel like we never get everything done, and having him sit still for weekly lessons is UGH. Best of luck to you! Maybe we'll read again someday. ;)

Thanks Lindsi :) Best of luck to you too!
DeleteYour days sound overwhelming, I'm sorry to hear that. I worked in the past with children with austim in the past.

Oh that's neat! Did you do ABA or work in a school?
DeleteI'm sorry you have to deal with so much right now. It can't be easy having to be your daughter's therapist and teacher pretty much 24/7. Hopefully you can get a little more reading time in this month!!
