christmaspreparations are rolling
december 6 2009
Now the sinterklaastime is over the dark days before christmas start.
For me it means squeezing in a few days all what needs to be done for my 6 children, cleaning the house, and trying to get in the mood for christmas.
I'm not a person for lists, but I tend to repeat in my head the most important things.
Last year I tried not to do that and free myself from the burden.
So here's part of the list:
- daughter 1
- make her practice music
- make her clean up a few of her things
- keep her motivated for school
- make her help others a bit more
- talk to her mentor at school about her progress
- daughter 2
- make her practice music
- make her jump up less to help her brothers and sister
- try and do something nice with her
- talk to her mentor at school about the way the school deals with her being bullied
- talk to the schoolnurse who said she should change so other people won't bully her (!)
- oldest son (asperger)
- make an appointment with his social worker
- see if we can arrange something for second christmasday
- get the autism site online
- work out some information evenings we're going to give about autism
- cut his hair
- son 2 (PDD-NOS)
- Make an appointment with his social worker
- Try and find him a good table and some stuff for his new apartment (bedcover)
- Have a look in his paperwork, if nothing is forgotten
- son 3 (ADHD and ASD)
- Rewrite the material for his diagnosis to convince his psychiatrist his diagnosis is wrong
- Clean his stuff upstairs (ugh!)
- cut his hair
- Arrange school
- sort out paperwork of his work
- son 4 (classic autist)
- Go to the family physician with him (tomorrow)
- Make him go to daycare
- Speak to the psychologist of daycare
- Make an appointment with his social worker
- house
- go to the attic, clean and get the christmasstuff
- decorate for christmas
- get the last part of the floor done in the livingroom
- etc.
