Caught up once again...now it's time for DINNER....whatever shall I have?



Dare I say it.......






Perhaps it should be...









Pizza!




really, for all the times I TALK about having Pizza....I only actually do it about 1/3 of the time. Of course, trying to be good now, so it will be the 7 inch individual size with a salad.....OF COURSE......

Hey....my computer is actually being fixed and I should have it by the end of the week. So soon I will be able to have actual conversations instead of this 10 + pages of catch up each day or so.

OK...the 6:30 buzzer is about to go off...see you tomorrow kids!

I think the guy who's never kissed a girl is good.....

You should google or ask your Dr to provide the statistics and reports on the higher incidence of drug abuse and other rotten outcomes for non medicated ADHD kids. Good Luck.

Very good point! My stepsister's son who also has ADHD told her he wished he was dead because he was so frustrated and discouraged and tired of being teased & behind in school, etc. But after meds, he's caught up and much happier with life. My best friend's son was exactly the same way and also said he wished he could die. I mentioned this to Tyler's dad in the past when I was fighting to get him to agree to let Tyler be evaluated by the neuropsychologist. I told him I'll do everything in my power to prevent Tyler from reaching that level of frustration.

When he's been stubborn about issues in the past and has provided me with statistics to support his opinion, I did exactly the same to back up my point. It was sort of a battle of stats until he finally let the issue drop.

I mentioned before that I went to see the movie Juno and liked it a lot, I also mentioned I don't like horror or violent movies. So...it's girl's night out tomorrow, and we're seeing Sweeney Todd Has any one seen this yet, I know it got good reviews...and I love Johnny Depp...but am I going to be able to take my hands off my face to peek out at him at all

I love Johnny Depp.....I also like gore but can't watch scary things alone!!

 

[nskjerven]

Well, now that I know who she is thanks to my DIS buddies, what about that Hanna Montana gal??

I'm hoping, but doubting that she would do 15 days, but maybe a fly in and out deal????

 

[lillygator]

I liked Katy!!

my friend just called me, she is booking a 2 week PC cruise in 2009 sailing from SanDiego to Fort Lauderdale.....airfare 1 way is almost $400 a pc....and an ocean view room for 2 is $4600 - I thought the room was ok but isn't that a high estimate on air?

She probably is getting it through the cruiseline.

the girls had to be seperated tonight. Haley is in my room and Samantha is in their room - npt that our house is so huge- it's all relatively close, they have no chance of sneaking out as teens. Anyway, they are just on each other's and my last nerve tonight.

HEY, I'm excited about that! I loved Knight Rider!

By the way....hello everybody! Had to do some running around after Tyler left this evening, and am now plunked down at the public library using their wireless internet. My poor laptop hasn't been used in so long, it's probably in shock!

Tyler came home from school with 9 complete sets of teeth (bitemarks) on his forearm yesterday. He did it to himself. The teachers were quite freaked out, as I am. He bit so hard, the toothmarks were quite deep. I mentioned a few episodes to the psychologist last week about him trying to hurt himself in the past, but this is the most severe. His dad has never seen him do anything to himself, so doesn't believe me, but at least now the teachers can back me up if necessary that it's really happening. Poor kid.....I just can't imagine that 1 hour a week of counseling will help him. I hope she'll decide to see him more times a week. The bite marks yesterday just about broke my heart (not to mention scared me).

I probably shouldn't say all this stuff here because I'm afraid you will all think he's a freak, but I just need to vent sometimes.

Wow---I'm so sorry that you and Tyler are going through all this, and don't worry...no one here thinks he's a freak. We've seen what a great kid he is when he's doing well.....hopefully your ex will get on board soon re: the meds. I know they will help him. to both of you.

She probably is getting it through the cruiseline.

No, it's the next over county commish who is starting his own travel agency.

 

[mishoe01]

Kathe - how's your back doing?? Still keeping those crazy retail hours?

Let me know what you think of Sweeney Todd.....I'm thinking of seeing it too, but I know the stage version is kindof "interesting".

Thanks for the s - I'll take a real one from you when we meet up again

 

[lillygator]

Tebow is the only one being good for a change. They had their bath, under no circumstnaces could Haley put pj's on...she HAD to have some Gator outfit on. OMG - I was ready to scream.

Well, I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes
I'll have to have a bottle of wine waiting for me at home in case I'm terribly traumatized

Monica, this all sounds sooooo familiar. I have dealt with depression most of my life but nobody ever put a name to it, even the therapists I saw (so many years ago they probably didn't think it was an illness). Any way I had a lot of close deaths to deal with in the last several years and just kept plugging along. Last March I started having Panic Attacks for the first time and knew that it was time to do something.

Now I am seeing a therapist and trying to find the right dosage of meds. Like you, my favorite thing in the world, going to WDW didn't hold a lot of interest for me and we went twice in September.

I am also finding it difficult to do the little things but am getting better too and making myself do them. I find that when I do I end up feeling better.

Glad to know that there are others out there who understand what this is all about. Sometimes you feel kind of alone and foolish for feeling the way you do.

Any way, sorry about the downer but it is nice to be able to talk about it.

Carol - no downer what so ever...know that I'm here (as well as our new friends here) for you whenever you need me....feel free to pm me if you want my email and/or phone nbr. You are definately NOT alone.
