breaking point...

i think i've gotten to a point of burn out. i love my internship, and i truly feel like i'm getting a lot out of it, but i am just exhausted. there is so much emotionally and cognitively involved (as anyone who has ever worked with preschoolers or children with special needs will tell you) and i am just always thinking, coming up with ideas or methods or just going over my day. i think i'm going to just take tonite OFF (i've been out of the house since 7:30 am, and just got home after class, quarter to 6) i know you were wondering, and yes, thank you, i did finish the invitations for the engagement party! i'm just afixing the shipping and return labels and then poof! i'm done! i also finished organizing the wedding list. yes, i'm taking the night off from this as well.

i miss my baby. she is at my mother in law's right now. she should be coming home soon. andy is at echo station practice but has to be in court for work (not cuz he's in trouble, silly! because some idiot's stuff got ruined and he didn't have insurance on his storage room) so he should be home soon. i went to mrs. green's natural food market after class, and i got her some sugar free cookies and organic raspberries, so she can perhaps go back to some semblance of a healthy diet (last night, i kid you not, my mother gave her ICE CREAM for dinner. i don't say anything, cuz i know grandparents spoil their grandchildren. hey i've been there. i'm still there. but really, she is now asking for sugar cubes. i cringe).

hurray. andy just called and he's going to get her and then coming home. i cannot wait to see my wild-haired child. she really is nuts. most fun ever. i'm so excited that i am actually going to be able to spend another month with her before i have to start student teaching/working at theracare. oh and btw, i have my aba training finally scheduled for a week in august. so exciting.
i actually observed an aba class today. um. i don't love it. it reminds me a lot of training a dog. which makes sense since one of the father's of behavioral therapy is pavlov (and we all remember pavlov's dog. and if you don't you're lucky your brain isn't filled with this crap). at least i have a better idea about what i'm going to be doing...did i mention i love my internship. if anyone is in the field of early childhood/special education, i'd strongly recommend trying to get a job at ahrc, which is just a fantastic, caring, nurturing company.
okay. i'm done for the night. i'm not even going to type in my practicum log. i'm signing off.
yea right. like i'm not immediately going to start working on the save the date magnets. did i mention i have a.d.h.d?
