Really? Many decisions hinge on sight.

Here I am in the throes of increasing the quality of my life with low vision and I have one child getting ready to start high school and the other middle school.  I have filled ou choice applications and am getting phone calls for "requests of acceptance".  Which is AWESOME.  But when EVERY single decision I make has to take into consideration my ability to drive based on my vision it makes things stressful.  My son has chosen a great high school in a neighboring town. That turns out to be a good choice since I know several families that have kids attending,so I have a good pool of folks to ask for help if the need arises.  Now enter middle school child.  She got accepted to a school 1.4 miles from where my son will be attending high school, however, their start time is 45 minutes later than my son's.  Ack.  All of this would be a no brainer if I had normal vision.  I actually feel guilty that my circumstances stand in the way of either of my kids access to great education. So, I said "yes" to the spot and am going to wait and see if I can make arrangements for this to all work out in the end.  I guess we'll find out come the end of the summer eh? Can I possible get some sleep before then????
