No really.
We'll go oldest to youngest.
Brian works full time, coaches cross country after school, works at the local rec center on Saturdays, and works security at the home football games (about once a week). He's also starting his training for Myrtle Beach's Full Marathon. He's working up to around 80 miles a week I think. Oh yeah, plus we'll be starting Ward Conferences again soon so he'll be gone a bunch of Sunday's traveling.
I am also coaching cross country with Brian, plus keeping up with all of the appointments with the boys (see below). Not to mention the normal day to day of keeping the house clean and tidy for all the teachers and therapists coming to the house nearly every day.
Brandon is starting his Parent-Child program up next week. That's twice a week (the teacher comes to our house). I also am planning on starting some homeschool preschool work to get him ready for Pre-K next year.
Malachi has the craziest schedule. He's seeing a physical therapist once a week, a speech therapist once a week for now, but when his cochlear implants are activated then we'll go to twice a week. We'll be having an early interventionist from the deaf and blind school come once a week to work with Malachi, and a coordinator from the same school to make sure he's progressing the way they'd like him to 1-2 times a month. Plus we'll be going to MUSC for mappings (adjusting his CI processor) at first every 2 weeks, then 4 weeks, etc.
Writing it all down almost makes me have an panic attack. How in the heck are we going to be able to get this all done? It's all good stuff that are really not negotiable. I really need to get a good routine and schedule going to keep us (mostly me) on track and organized.
P.S. One week until Malachi's first CI surgery!
P.P.S. We chose which brand of CI we were going to get. We chose Cochlear.
P.P.P.S. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I'll answer it in a post or email you back.

Wow! What a busy woman you are! Are you hoping to get Brandon into pre-K in a public school? I tried to get Maddy in... I found out that Pre-K is focused on getting kids up to speed, those who might otherwise have a difficult time starting kindergarten. In other words, the less they know, the better chance they have of getting in. I thought it was the next step after preschool and before kindergarten. Not here in SC. You have to get them tested... I got a letter saying that due to Maddy's performance she is at the bottom of the waiting list and will not be able to attend pre-K. I wouldn't stress out too much about getting Brandon ready for that program... I'd just do it for fun.
I'll be thinking of you these next few weeks with your trips to Charleston... I'd love to bring you dinner one of those crazy nights...
