Is it just the weather?
I am feeling mopey and sad for no real reason today. It would help if it was sunny and not gray and snowy today. It would help if I could sleep better. It would help if I got a hug. Waah. -

recapping a one hour period last night
Pick up A from daycare and get her in the car and on our way. Stop at E's school to pick him up. He is challenging to round up, but I manage to do so without losing either kid. Get home, A has a fit in the car over who knows what and is crying her head off. Get both kids in the house, only to find that the dog has pooped in multiple locations in ( Read more... ) -
Parent teacher conference this morning
I am weird. I get anxious when we have parent teacher conferences! Even though the teacher is fabulous, I'm always anxious. Today was the best meeting yet with her. We got E's report card for the 3rd quarter, and he's doing wonderfully in academics (all 3's and 4's, which are meets or exceeds expectations). He's improved in areas like music, which ( Read more... ) -
Spring is here!
I see DAFFODILS! And Bradford Pear trees, which I hate, have white blossoms on them (pretty, but they smell to me like rotting meat). Birds are chirping and building nests. Robins are hunting in my front yard. Windows can be opened.
I love spring! -
It was a GOOD weekend!
E had 2 b-day parties, overlapping, on Saturday. Despite that, he managed to keep his cool the whole time (despite a crazy fashion choice of a sweater to go bouncing!?). We got to drop him at the second and have a nice quiet adults only lunch (A was with my parents, bless them). Arrived at the party in time to see E doing better than I can ever ( Read more... ) -
Thank you
Thank you for everyone who responded to my last post. I'm not posting on that one because I don't want to read it again right now, but thank you. I am so very grateful and so lucky to have you all in my life. -
Heavy hearted update
We had our appointment with the neurologist on Wednesday and when I was filling out the forms listing all the symptoms, it suddenly clicked that YES, he does have some disorder and we're doing the right thing by being here. Once we got in the exam room (after waiting an HOUR in the non-child-friendly waiting room), I started getting anxious. E was ( Read more... ) -
Neurologist scheduled
Over the past month we've watched E's tics get more and more frequent and made the decision that yes, we really do need to visit a neurologist for him. I think I've been putting it off hoping for improvement but we're not seeing it. His behavior in general has taken a HUGE upswing, which is cause for celebration, but the tics are just worsening ( Read more... ) -
One step forward...
And a little backstepping too. Last night A went to bed clingy, and then proceeded to wake up almost every hour on the hour, unaware of her surroundings but crying and upset. I was the only one allowed to comfort her, much to my dismay. This morning she has no memory of it, but wow was it a loooooong night ( Read more... )
