Today Josiah started the day treatment program with Trillium Family services and I'm having a hard morning. It feels very clinical to me and I have had to take a step back and let them do their job. Meaning I don't walk him to class, which is a major difference for our morning routine, and he stays there for 6 hrs a day, which is also a big difference, since he had been attending school for only 3 hrs a day. (Another big change is the half hour drive to get to the school building, then drive home, and back again in the afternoon. That's 2 hrs a day on the road for Jacob and I. yeah the $4 for a gallon a gas now is REALLY sucking!!!) (This also means no more preschool for Jacob.) I am so anxious to hear how Josiah's day is going, but I will have to wait till pick up this afternoon at 2:45. Sometime very soon I should be getting a call from his therapist there to set up an appt with me to meet with her later this week. (Have I ever told you that I'm not a very patient person? waiting seriously sucks!) Anyway, after Josiah did some whining and complaining this morning I was able to get him dressed and out the door on time. I then walked up to the front door of the building, and left him with a guy that helped Josiah to his classroom. I said goodbye and he waved, then Jacob and I turned and walked away. That walk was one of the hardest things I've had to do in the past several weeks! I'll keep you updated.
Today my goal is to get back to working out every day since my 5k run is in 2 weeks! I have been able to go to the gym a couple days a week, and walk with the kids when I couldn't, but I really need to step up my game this week if I'm gonna be ready to run 3.1 miles by March 18th! Wish me luck!
Oh, and I've finished 2 books lately that have really inspired me in my running. I encourage you to pick up the books sometime. "The Walk" and "Miles to Go" by Richard Paul Evans. Really good books! I've done some serious soul searching as I've read them, it's been good for me.
Until next time, be blessed!

Aren't those books just awesome! They changed my life too.
I'm reading another book right now, that truly, is the most amazing book I've read in my entire life (next to the Bible). No joke. This book has changed my entire world. And I'm not even done with it yet. It is truly a remarkable piece of literature.
What is the book dawn? I love to know about books that others find life-changing!
