Maddie attends typical summer school as her Extended School Year services. She also receives summer speech therapy, mosting during the time while she is at summer school. Maddie needs to stay in the routine of being away from me and to keep her communication skills up.
I should be happy that our school agrees to provide her ESY in the Least Restrictive Environment that is closest to her regular school year placement. For too long I had to reject ESY because the placement offered was segregated and not her LRE. I’m also lucky that Maddie’s regular school year 1:1 aide agrees to work with Maddie in the summer too.
But I am a lazy bum! Taking Maddie to and from school at 8 and 11am is sucking the life out of my summer! And that’s bringing her home an hour early too!
I want to sleep in.
I want my (up-at-5:30-am-regardess) children to sleep in!
I want to be able to go to the beach before noon.
I want to go grocery shopping sometime other than 10pm.
I want to let the kids stay up late and not have to say “sorry, its a school night”.
And I don’t want homework. Bless that teacher for having the same expectations for classwork for Maddie, but I don’t want to be doing homework! A worksheet for Maddie means half an hour of mom prepping.
And mom is officially a lazy bum!

OK Em, because I know you I’m going to expose you to the rest of the world on three points. 1) You don’t sleep…EVER…so it’s not really possible for you to sleep in is it? 2) You hate the beach. Well, you hate the beach along our shores of Lake Erie. 3) You are anything but a lazy bum. If you’re lazy, what am I?
Always the best!

Thanks for exposing her! I wondered how much sleep Em could ever get, she seems to be up late at night and gets up early, and, i’ve never known her to be lazy! And come to think of it, she’s never suggested to have a picnic at a beach!

Are you ladies trying to bust me?
I’ll show you both. I’ll invite you to the beach, and then when we get there, I’ll take a nap!
Ha! So there!
