Tired, tired, tired

I am so glad for a 3 day weekend.  Since Gavin is missing 16 hours of therapy a week, I find myself more stressed and tired than usual.  He has been missing 10 hours for a month because the therapist was promoted and the company never found a replacement for her.  I think they never hired another one was because Gavin's mom never complained about the lost hours and they didn't feel the need to fill it.  Now another therapist is done, leaving Gavin with only 12 hours of therapy a week when he should be getting 20.  This makes me so mad.  They are robbing him of hours and no one seems to care but me.  When I talk to the mom about it, she fluffs it off and says there's nothing she can do.

These last few weeks Gavin has been very bored and restless and starts getting into mischief.  I find him playing in the dogs bowls, playing in the toilet, opening kitchen cupboards and pulling things out and chewing on them, pouring Jakes formula water all over himself.. The list is endless.  I spend most of my days chasing him around.  I started putting him in a large corner with books and toys and block him in.  But anytime I get up (to use the bathroom or get a snack) he immediately runs away and finds trouble.

It's hard enough watching 3 kids, let alone a special needs one.  My stress level has gone through the roof.  School starts next week for both Gavin and Audrey so it should be better, but as of right now, it's very fustrating.  Sorry to vent............
