Homeschooling with Autism: Day 12 Flexibility pays off!



Yea, this post is a day late. When you read the weekly wrap up tomorrow it will all make sense. Let's just say that after a field trip to the hydroponic farm more than an hour away, music class, dance, church, and having my mom call me in the middle of my Mission Friends class to complain about something completely stupid , I called it a day.  Completely vegged out laying on my bed watching baseball since Dad was home to take care of the kids. And you know what?  That's ok.  A mental health day can be called with no regret.

I could have insisted that lessons and chores get done because they were planned.  I was extremely tired and hungry when I got home from the field trip.  (It was a fun field trip just far away and early)  What would have happened had I done that would have entailed lots and lots of yelling and crying by someone, namely me.  It wasn't worth it.  I am extremely blessed to have a husband that recognizes fatigue in me.  He's not afraid to tell me to take a rest.  He's also willing to pick up my slack on those days as well.  We make a great team.
