Good afternoon one and all!

Being DeafBlind can be isolating, sometimes frustrating, but always enjoyable!

Today, my oldest son was supposed to be at school today, first day back after the holidays right?

We have an agreement that he would go to school on Mondays after lunch.

Today, at 12, I make him lunch, then encourage him to get ready; he needs to be there by 12:45.

!2:15 I text him and tell him lunch is ready and to be ready…

At 12:30, he’s eating lunch and watching TV. I’m sitting two feet away, facing a different direction.

I nudge him, and he walks by, I assume he is getting shoes on and so forth.

The next 30 minutes I am focusing my attention on phone calls, emails and other things.

And, there he is, still sitting watching TV!

I did not see him return to that chair, nor do I hear the TV… The Simpsons are on!

My frustration is that I didn’t notice the kid is still here!

Groan!
