Decision Day

I decided to go back to work although Tim is unsettled and doesn't have a firm start date, although the target is Sept. 14.  We've been told Tim has to be controlled and settled,  The thing is, he has to be controlled and settled.  The program he is going into is meant for him.  It has 6 young adults with autism, who function at similar levels.  It is run by people who already know him and are trained to deal with behavior. Since this is an adult program, it could run for years. If he doesn't get into this group run by the program we want, it could be a few years until another one begins.  I don't really know what we're going to do if this doesn't work out.
So meanwhile, this will be Tim's schedule:
8:30  wake up and hang with big sister or caregivers when available.
No day program, so we provide day program.
Daily outings- Zoo, walks, movies, malls, centre for Autism
Daily routines- Tim doesn't have many skills. At home he helps by folding and lugging laundry from our 2nd story to our basement and vice versa.  
When not available, Dad will stay home until caregiver comes at 3:00.
Then dad will go to work.
5:00 I will come home
5:30  Caregiver will go home.
Supper with mom and sometimes big sister
9:30  Bath time:  He loves baths.  Sometimes, when he is unsettled, a bath will help.
10:00 Bed time
So, any hours Dad and I aren't working, we are taking care of Tim.  24/7.  We're already exhausted.
Goody.  Can't wait.  

If I don't go back, I'd be on with Tim all day, but at least Dad would come home at a decent hour and in the evening we could veg out as a family.  But if I don't go back, I'll have to deal with a class I didn't start, which I've never done.  I have a great teaching team and that would help, but I would have to give up salary, potentially, and that is something we both don't want to do.
