For the last three weeks, I have been working full time. It's a writing project. I enjoy writing, so I thought this would be a good mix with family life. It has been a wonderful, novel time. I'm getting out of the house, and my brain is challenged in ways that do not include autism. VERY NOVEL IDEA. This is a time for just me. Again, what a new idea!
However, there is no separating my boys from me. I miss them.
More importantly, they need me. Although the boys can be left alone for hours, the preparation for school, ie homework, dinner, etc really does require a parent.
More than just the boys, school requires attention. School administrators, teachers, counselors, etc. don't necessarily follow up, unless a phone call or email prompts the need. Usually, they respond quite readily. Phone calls really work better than emails. Better yet is a personal visit. I can't manage that while working.
Although I have enjoyed meeting new people and doing new tasks, I've already given notice. The role of motherhood always comes first.
