Next Tuesday, my son & I go to the center so they can tell him how his brain is operating.  I hope he takes it as empowering.  Maybe he'll get out the emotional rut he's in, which I think is...

Met with the center about "Next Steps" and what the priorities are.  Looks like the biggest bang for the buck right now is working with the school to tailor things to my son's needs.  Once that...

The antibiotics are really kicking in now.   It doesn't even hurt to swallow anymore.  I even had a grilled cheese for lunch.  I feel more human, too.Amazing how your health affects your...

Strep throat, no money.  Son is frustrating me.  Husband is frustrating me.  Can't exercise.  Lucky I cleaned most of the house.  Just yuck today.

I'm home, sick with a cold.  So is my daughter. Emotionally, I'm still OK.  Just pondering what my next steps are with my son.  And life in general.

I was looking over my New Year's "hopes" & I think I've accomplished just about everything on my list--with the exception of scheduling a complete physical.  Gotta make that call.Of course some...

Met with the testers.  Alot of what they told me was stuff I knew already--that my son is real smart, a visual learning, struggles with expressing himself in writing.What I learned was that there is...

Today I find out from the development center what is up with my son.  A diagnosis I guess.  I'm a teensy bit nervous, but I know that finally I will have an answer.  Knowing me, though, that will...

A few days later, I've calmed down a bit.  When I talked to my husband today, I told him don't spend any money!  (Which, to him, means spend only the minimum on the essentials).  He says OK.I'll...

Very long story short, our checking got bottomed out (although he got paid today, but that's all spoken for, of course).  So I've got to present him his choices:cut spending drasticallytake control...

I miss being out in nature.  A Facebook post by my cousing made me realize this.  I do take a daily walk, but it's along a major route.  Too many cars, not enough birds & quiet.I really do need...

That's the cost of the testing & meetings with the center for my son.  I was under the understanding that it would be $200 (yes, that does seem low, but $3,000 seems high!).  Anyhow, I did submit...

I’m discovering that I pretty much know who I am.  I know what I value, what my morals are, what kind of company I keep.  Definitely not a perfect person, but that’s what growth is all about....

Lately, my son has been seeking me out, sitting next to me, even snuggling a little bit as I type on my netbook.  He's also more willing to hug, etc.  Not that he never blows up.  But his temper...

As part of "working together" with the school, the guidance counselor is sending weekly progress reports from the teachers.  Got my first one today.  All the same, pretty much.  Behavior is good,...
