This is a guest blog from J- (aka Dad)

Here is an all-too-typical day:

6:00 – 6:20: Lie in bed petting dog and snoozing after the alarm goes off.

6:20 – 7:00: Make coffee, check email for emergencies (ignore), do some leftover evening dishes, and let the dogs out.

7:00-7:15: Wake T-7 and T-4, lay out their clothes, help D- get off to her Business Networking Group.

7:15-7:40: Our friend R- shows up to join breakfast and help make sure everything goes smoothly (since I’m otherwise outnumbered).  Chat with R- while cooking breakfast (eggs, vegan sausage, croissants) and encouraging girls to get dressed.

7:40 – 8:20: Eat breakfast, clear and clean dishes, help girls get their teeth brushed and ready for school, get into the car.

8:20 – 9:00: Drop girls off at their separate schools and return home.

9:00 – 9:30: Feed dogs, eat a bit more breakfast, and browse the morning e-news.

9:30 – 11:15: D-returns from the networking meeting, we confirm plans for the day, talk over issues of obtaining proper respite care, and our thoughts on pursuing T-7’s psych evaluation.  Spend 30 minutes talking with fost-adopt agency supervisor about yesterday’s conference call with S- County social workers.

11:30 – 12:30: While D- takes Rocky to the veterinary dermatologist to have his patchy fur checked out, I email and call T-7’s pediatrician, the family support representative at the hospital, and the new attachment specialist to see how best to proceed with obtaining a court order to prescribe meds for T-7.  Also got confirmation that emergency respite provider used a few days ago can be added to our respite list, and had a registration packet sent out to her.

12:30 – 1:00: Get update from D- on Rocky’s apparent allergic reaction, and the course of treatment for him (baths, antibiotics, more Frontline applications, etc.).  We sit down for a sandwich together.

1:00 – 2:00: Take dogs out for a quick run in the park (they run, I walk).  We have to avoid one section due to Roundup application (ugh), but it’s ok since I only have an hour.

2:15 – 2:45: Pick up T-4 early from school, drop her and D- off at the hospital for an endocrinology follow-up appointment (they trade stickers for blood samples); I squeeze in a quick call with S- social worker to update plan for access to local A- County psychiatrist.

2:45 – 3:15: Head back to pick up T-7 from school, chat with teacher for a while about T-7’s attention difficulties and disruptive behavior in class.  A trip to the principal’s office is imminent.

3:15 – 4:30: Take T-7 to the Public Library near the hospital so we can pick up D- and T-4 when their appointment is over.  I drive home, D- and T-4 immediately head out to T-4’s new play therapy appointment.

4:30 – 6:00: Settle T-7 in for an hour or so of quiet play with dolls, as I clean kitchen and prepare dinner (tortelloni, salad, leftover egg rolls, steamed broccoli), set table, start laundry, feed dogs, talk on phone with attachment specialist to set meeting for next week and get her thoughts on the role of meds in her treatment approaches.

6:00 – 6:30: Dinner.

6:30 – 7:15: Help guide T-7 into and eventually out of bath, do dishes, get T-4 brushing teeth, assemble her new breathing apparatus for inhaler applications, and check the evening e-news.

7:15 – 8:30: T-7’s bedtime routine: lotion, jammies, brushing, put away dolls, reading on couch, bedtime hugs, 10 minutes sitting on chair in her room and she’s out for the count.

8:30 – 10:00: Take over D’s bedtime routine with T-4 so she can go out and have a dessert treat with her brother; sit with T-4 and read a book while she plays herself to sleep.

10:00 – 11:00: Fall asleep, mmmm.

11:00 – 12:30: Wake up, carry T-4 to her own bed, chat with D- (while she sits at the filing cabinet purging and organizing) to bring us both up to date on all the phone, appointment, and email traffic, eat ice cream, put off figuring out how to get through the weekend, move laundry along, and put out trash & recycling bins.

12:30 – 12:35: We watch a cute YouTube video.

12:35 – … Brush, think about taking shower, go to sleep…  tomorrow’s alarm clock switched from 6:00 to 6:45…
