Ya Girl Is On The Struggle Bus

Hey y’all. I’m going to be honest. Ya girl is sitting front row on the struggle bus. Work is kicking my butt and my anxiety is running pretty high as Sterling’s Annual Review is next week. I have been working on a few blogs but just don’t feel like they’re ready to post. I want to bring you the real but I also don’t want to babble. 

This is a huge meeting for Sterling as we’re developing a plan to integrate him back into district. He says he’s ready… I’m SCARED. I know he can do well. He’s been preparing for this moment for some time. There will be some changes to his IEP and based on a phone conversation I had Monday, I may have to stand my ground to keep some services in place. Right now, Sterling is thriving and I want to keep that momentum going. He’s starting to inquire about high and college and what that would look like for him. I want to make sure he gets the support he needs to succeed.

I feel like I’m starting to babble…deep breaths Jessy..deep breaths. 

This school year has been amazing…he’s excelling and the smile on his face when he comes home warms my soul. It has been quite a journey to get here and we are nowhere near finished. I received a packet today from the district with the information needed for next week’s meeting. I’m saying a silent prayer that I don’t lose my cool or cry…both of which have happened in the past. 

I have taken the day off from work. Regardless of how this goes I will need time to decompress. This journey is exhausting but I believe you’re never given more than you can handle. 

Until next time! Love and Light.
