Alright, I got too much built up here to get this damn paper done.

Gotta let some out.

Felt it yesterday. I snapped at D12 a few times. And, I went out to buy some snow boots...got some great, much-needed snow boots...but also bought some other stuff from a place of overwhelm. Not good.

D12. She is in a bad place and I keep blaming myself. There's just not enough of ME to go around. She needs some friends. She has thrown herself, THROWN HERSELF, into her Asperger's obsession with these two boy bands. It's become her life.

Honestly, I don't think it will take much to right her capsized ship, but it means me taking care of some business. Church today is a MUST. And, dance lessons could start this week...only $9 per 30-minute-session. I inquired about private lessons to begin with. I think it would be a good confidence builder for her to start with a one-on-one lesson and move up to a group lesson. She hasn't had ballet since she was 5.

I need to make an appointment with the psychotherapist. D12 is refusing to go. I could go first. Of course, this means paying for a psychotherapist. I'm more afraid, however, of not having her in counseling and being unprotected on that front with the courts. I know a counselor would give me back-up if Smokey made trouble about homeschooling or month-long visits to Ohio. I'd rather be in debt and protected than put her through that.

I also need to send my homeschool letter of intent this week. I've had several area homeschool families reach out to me via email and offer me guidance.

NY has stricter homeschool regs than Ohio. It makes me a bit nervous. But, it needs done. This week.

Making a new list of ToDo's...ONE PAGE is for D12.
