It's an "Anything Can Happen Day"

Summer is not going as smoothly as one would hope. Taking children who are very used to routine and throwing them into a vacation situation is not always the best thing. We have so many appointments that it has become a full time job. Therapists, doctors, mentors, specialists and case workers have taken over our lives. There is a "chance" one of my sons may qualify for a summer camp and that, I'm sure will throw us further in this tailspin. Do I think it is all worth it? Honestly? No. There comes a point when we have reached a "therapeutic threshold". When my kids can't be kids and when summer is a chore, it is time to step away. My business is suffering, my patience is waning and the kids are in a fishbowl. We have one more week of intense appointments and then it goes to therapy only for a bit(unless summer camp comes into play.) Forget trying to put our house on the market right now. The painting and repair work will take many months and we just don't have that kind of free time right now.
I think it is time to put this all in God's hands. Everything looks overwhelming right now and I can't do everything. I could use a really holy person with the ability to bi locate to help me. But then they would be off doing amazing things for God and not in the practice of helping a frazzled wife with special needs kids and a rocky business outlook. I have to take all three to the pediatricians today. In Cincinnati. Alone. I'm very much looking forward to evening when I know all this will be over.
