Day 1 of "the schedule"

We started the whole structure deal today, I made a kinda rough draft for the day. So far, so good. We started with breakfast at 8am (eggs and toast). At 9 we took the dogs for a walk. At 10 Brandon had a snack. Then he did a chore (put his pillow nest away). We went to the grocery store and was home at noon. I made him lunch (pb&j), and we made pineapple juice freeze pops. We are doing a 1 hour quiet time now. I'm letting him watch TV quietly and hopefully he will take a nap. He's upset that the pops aren't frozen and he's very agitated about that. He hates me and I'm a "shit face". A nap would be great! After his quiet time he will take his afternoon meds and then we will do an activity. I love the Dollar Tree! I bought some play doh, flash cards for math (Spiderman), pop sticks, and a squishy thing. I gave his the squishy thing when he was whining about the unfrozen pops, and it seems to help soothe him. I want to talk with the behavior support specialist about "brushing" him, I've read about it and want to see what she thinks about it. If the weather permits we will play outside for a little while, maybe on the trampoline, or maybe ride his bike. It's rainy season, so the storms usually start building up in the afternoon. If it's a rainy mess, we will do something inside. I'm thinking maybe a snack at 4pm, then read a book or do flash cards. Rick worked today, so I'd like for him to participate in one of the activities tonight. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

PS-some good news about the baby sitter search. I received contact from one of the sitters who had previosly applied and she wants to set up an interview. I'm excited and nervous.
