Doing better at keeping an exercise routine.  Need to temper my inclination to add more goals though--I tend to bite off more than I can chew! Had a good IM chat with my sister Friday nite.  One...

Regarding all my relationships, I need to take a more proactive approach.  Less worrying about “what are they thinking about me” or “I need to defend myself” and more focus on “how can I...

Well, my son saw the Behavior Analyst & Psychologist again--last day of testing, though he does need to complete a self-evaluation (which will be "fun" to get him to complete--not!) I also finished...

My son is in pretty much a loving mood today.  Nothing gooshy, just kind of happy, a little talkative & willing to give me a hug!  I am not looking a gift horse in the mouth!

Started the testing.  My son said it was alot of "puzzles" and questions.  He seemed to be engaged, so that was a good thing.  The Dr. that worked with him said that he was a smart kid, but there...

Spoke to my son's guidance counselor yesterday before I left work (mainly to set things up for testing et al).  Turns out that He did not write 1 thing on his history mid-term.  NOT ONE THING!!! ...

Feel like I have a cold coming on; took some airborne.  I need to sit down w/my son tonite & explain about the upcoming assessment (1st 1 on Friday).  I hope it goes well & that he cooperates.

Boring at work...son doesn't want to go to youth group & socialize...husband thinks son should "make his own decisions" now (yes, but we're still the parents!!)...tacos tonite were way too...

DH still sleeping in guest room.  Again, his choice, not mine.  But we're able to talk & converse as normal.  For all I know, he could be "plotting" something, but really, there isn't much he can...

When I got home last night, I could tell my husband was mad.  He didn't say anything, though, till the kids went to bed. He tried asking me "what I thought was wrong" with our son (if I knew, I...

Well, I told my husband that I scheduled an assessment for our son at the place his doctor recommended.  I figured saying it that way was the best--not asking for permission, not arguing about it,...

Well, I met with someone from the group that will test my son.  Apparently (based on info gleaned from the "intake" interview), they do a number of multi-disciplinary tests to detemine what the...

Had a cuppa coffee last night at Starbucks with a good friend of mine.  Told her about some of my woes.  It was nice to have someone listening objectively & giving me a good reality check.  Almost...

I'm in the process of getting the evaluation scheduled for my son.  However, it seems to be turning out to be a bigger, blown-up process than it probably needs to be.  All I want to know is if he...

Reflecting on boundaries.  “Mirroring” rather than “sponging”; acknowledging the facts of what is being said without defending/denying/etc.  Something I need to work on…  One thing she...
