TGIF...for some

"Thank Goodness It's Friday" for some is "Oh, Geez...it's Friday" for us. Not that the end of the week doesn't bring the excitement of the weekend or an opportunity for a full day of Transformers play with Daddy, but Friday is therapy day which means we run around all day, with hardly any play, which makes for two cranky kids. We have been hanging out at Araceli's house in during breaks in our schedule as it doesn't make sense to drive home. Taylor enjoys being able to play with his cousin, Mikey, a fellow Transformers fan. But then I feel horribly guilty when I need to stop the play to load him back in the car for another visit somewhere. Here is a sample of today's schedule:
6:30 wake kids up, get dressed and hit the road by 7:15
8:00 drop Brooks off at work
8-9 stop at the store to pick up two birthday presents
9-10 Taylor Occupational Therapy
10:30 Jazzy Speech Therapy
11:30 leave Speech and grab a quick lunch at Araceli's.
1:00 Leave Jazzy with Araceli for DSI, and take Taylor to Physical Therapy eval
1:30 Jazzy DSI home visit
2:00 avoid photo radar cameras and try to make it back for the end of Jazzy's DSI
3:30 Kids haircuts
5:00 pick Brooks up from work, grab some dinner
7:00 birthday party 56 miles from home
8:30 head home!
I could switch Jazzy's therapies to home visits, but I have been reluctant to do that because she has such a great relationship with her therapist, and home visits would mean she's lose her current therapise. Plus, she has become quite the little chatter box and I would hate for her to regress. Taylor's occupational therapist is awesome as well, so I have the same dilemma there. Now that he has received the official ASD diagnosis, he could also receive music therapy, and I am trying to get speech therapy which he really needs. But, how do I fit that in? I am sure with too many therapies in one day he would have a really rough time.

Well, until I figure something out... oh geez, here we go again.
