This week was one of those weeks that I attended Tristan’s IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meeting. I was not quite prepared for the outcome of this meeting.
It was a tad stressful. That kind of caught me off guard. For several years, I felt the IEP meetings have been uneventful. Since the move from one group home to another meant exiting one school system and entering a new one.
After the meeting, I remembered how stressful these can be. I attended the meeting virtually during my workday. As soon as work ended, I decided to get a chocolate snack. I enjoyed the treat. I sat in my car and decompressed from my day in the warm sunshine.
After an IEP meeting, treat yourself! This time, I chose a chocolate treat. Maybe next time, I will schedule a massage!
