Anne Marie - Button was a biter too. Get Minnie to obedience classes ASAP. We didn't and regretted it for the remaining 13 years!
Life just doesn't improve in our house. I'm not sure what we did to p@ss off God, but it must have been horrific as the last 3 years have been riddled with challenges.
I'm sure I posted that we're struggling with Nick's depression issues. We think that we may have found a therapist to start working with him, we meet her tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
Friday on the way to school Hunter totally came unglued and told me that he was being bullied at school. 2 classmates were continually interupting him everytime the tried to talk with "shut up" and telling him that he doesn't have any friends. We wound up in the Dean of Students office with the guidance counselor and they were going to talk to the boys on Friday. Hunter did say that one of them apologized later in the day and said that they were just trying to be funny. Of course I also talked to his Mom that morning as she works at the school. He also said that a boy had been hitting him in the head on the bus on Tuesday. The school will be getting the video tapes and going from there. I know the family and if the school doesn't do something I WILL.
This morning Chris got his thumb crushed in the wood splitter. We didn't call 911, but rushed him to the hospital ourselves. The closest ambulance is 15 minutes away. It looked really bad here, flat like you see in cartoons with the bone and muscle sticking out the end (sorry about that imagery). The tip is broken, but miraculously the tendons and nerves seem intact. They were able to reconstruct it and sew it up in the ER, but he needs to see a hand surgeon later in the week. He was concerned that he would never be able to use that thumb again and therefore would have to find a new career. We're hopeful that he will get 100% use back, but it may need a pin put in. Infection is the worst fear and if it gets infected all bets are off. I've known him for close to 25 years, I've seen him in pain, but nothing came close to this. The percocet seems to be controlling the pain tonight.
Please tell me that we've had our 3rd bad luck thing for this go round because honestly I'm not sure how much more I can handle. My back is hurting from stess and I was physically shaking most of the day.
Good morning, DDA!
We booked 9 nights at the Dolphin for next October. Their teacher discount was just too tempting and even with the best WDW discounts ever offered none of the Epcot resorts would be able to touch what we are paying. We do have the option of a split stay if something wonderful comes up before then, but I am betting we will just stay put for the entire vacation. We spanned the first two weekends in October so we can be there for the Swolphin Wine & Dine Classic which is competing very well with Epcot's F&W Festival.

Deb - sending you all the good thoughts and prayers I have
Here we are just over two weeks from our long awaited trip and I've developed serotonin syndrome, it's caused by the cymbalta I was put on for arthritis pain, Luckily it's a mild case and all I have to do is taper off the medication and the symptoms should go away.

Oh no. Is it painful? I hope you recover quickly.
Nick did not get his license today. He had a perfect score except the Vermont turn around. One of the back wheels touched the grass by less than an inch. That is considered going off the road and is therefore an automatic failure. Totally sucks and seems unfair, but it is what it is. He'll try again on Monday.
No it isn't really painful Deb, it's pretty strange. I have spells where I sweat like crazy, then I'll be freexing with lots of goose bumps. My heart rate and blood pressure are elevated, and I'm having muscle "twitches". My legs will jump, sometimes my hands, I have even had my entire body jerk like what happens when you are falling asleep sometimes. Today my lip started twitching, looks like I'm trying to be Elvis. I started a lower dose today and will take that for five days and then try stopping on day six.
Sorry about Nick's test, he'll get it next time!
