I haven't watched fringe, but I like the Mentalist..thats a good new show. I've been watching all of my old shows that are on again. House, bones, hero's all the csi's, crime shows etc. Lots and Lots...and I am loving Saturday Night Live right now...tina fey as Sarah Palin is freaking hysterical!
Deb, so glad you're getting a much deserved relaxing vacation![]()
You talking about the Tink T-shirt made me think about the "we're in the lifeboat" T-shirts you sent some of us , I'm thinking of wearing mine to the lifeboat drill on our Tortola cruise![]()

OK, here's the detailed version of what happened today. It's very scary.
One boy in class said something that made him mad, so Tyler pushed him and then ran into the bathroom. The teacher thinks he might have ran to hide in the bathroom to keep himself from losing control more, but we don't know. He wouldn't come out, so the art teacher came in to try to get him out. He opened the door and grabbed her arm and bit her. She went to get the social worker/psychologist for help. She tried to talk to him but he was enraged and sputtering nonsense words.
She sat outside the door waiting for him to come out but before she could react, he flung the door open, ran past her into the classroom, jumped on another kid and slammed the kid's head into the desk, then it took 2 adults to try to restrain him (the social worker/psychologist and the principal). They had to carry him, kicking and screaming and thrashing to the office where they both had to physically restrain him until he calmed down because he grabbed scissors off the principal's desk and tried to stab the school social worker/psychologist telling her he was going to kill her and that she was chosen to die.
They were afraid of me being alone with him today because they've never seen him like that and were really scared. They said his voice changed into a gutteral tone and his eyes were glazed over like he wasn't even in there. I jokingly told them it sounds like I need to call an exorcist (I told them I have to joke or I'll cry from frustration).
So he's doing schoolwork and cleaning here at home. NO fun stuff for him at all.
Still waiting to hear from the psychiatrist's office, but probably won't get a call back until tomorrow because he's not in the office on Wednesdays.
I already talked to his dad and he's just as shocked as I am.
Well, you know how us old people want to get in for the Sr. citizen special...![]()

nothing is on tv tonight. what are you up to?
Jon and I will be married 12 years on Dec. 31 and I keep wondering "How did I get that old"![]()
Monica,
I hope this doesn't come out wrong, but reading about how you are overcoming depression is an eye-opener. My aunt appears to struggle with depression, and suffers greatly, but won't take action. I'm in a different town, so there is little I can do, other than call her and leave messages. I used to get so frustrated because she does not respond, but I'm starting to understand how difficult it is for her. So I'll continue to leave messages and reach out. So thank for for sharing your struggles and successes![]()
Good, I'll talk with my sister next week (she is off in Mexico today) I'm sure you will blend right into the hoard of us. I think we are up to 17 people now
I think dinner is early at 4pm???? She has the details, I'll double check that next week too ! Xmas Day 12/25. I keep forgetting to answer all of the questions at once, hope you got all the info between my edits...
I know what it's like because I've been going through it since I was a teenager. It runs in the family and we actually lost one of my cousins to an accidental overdose because he was just trying to kill the pain. He ended up killing himself.
It's tough.![]()

my eyes failed me at 40, I was told this is common.![]()
Oh, he's fine at home. These things only happen at school (or day care when he was in day care). He kept asking me to play but I had to keep reminding him that he wasn't home for a fun day with mom, and he had to do schoolwork and work on cleaning his room.How are you Holly? How was the rest of your day with Tyler? Remember that he doesn't want to do these things. It's out of his control. All you can do at this point is love him and support him and tell the doctors everything. This is not new to them. They will know what to do next. You will have these incidences in the beginning while you test the waters until you find the right combination and doseage of meds. You will get there. Hang on. Know that you're not alone in this. We love you and we love Tyler. And it IS going to be okay......soon. Hugs to you both.

Thanks for everbody's hugs and prayers, I just wasn't up to responding. Didn't mean to be rude, just not myself. Will get lots of sleep this weekend and Monday will be the start of a brand new school week with hopes of better days.
