that crazy calendar

Having young children who are not yet into the "lessons and team sports" phase of life, one would think that my days of being a taxi service would still be to come. However, having a child with special needs whose calendar is jam-packed with appointments for doctors, therapists, and evaluations has to be just as crazy. We schedule weekly, bi-monthly and monthly therapies. We have quarterly, bi-annual and annual followups with various specialists. And then there are all the usual childhood things like the dentist and pediatrician, not to mention preschool! Somewhere in there is time for recreational activity, gatherings with family and friends, date nights for mom & dad, and "alone" time (?!) for mom. Whew! I think I need a nap.
