Good morning ladies. Just kicking off this thread with a quick drive-by. Life is kicking my behind this week. But tomorrow's Friday!;)
 
Clara honey- I hate when days start out like that- they they just seem to spiral into utter wackiness. Hope that you are feeling way better today.

Scott is being pulled out of school due to medical reasons- he is going to be starting Home Instruction on Monday. He has been having a really tough time between all of the cognitive stuff and is failing just about everything again. His behavior has been better in some classes but really bad in another. Better that we pull him out now than have him kicked out or flunk out.
We aren't sure how long he'll need to be out, I am figuring that all of December would be smart- let him take that time, then the holiday break, and start fresh in Jan.
A tutor will come to the house- not sure of the schedule yet, only that it starts on Monday.

Linda W- Why does SDD Have to be so close minded? That's so sad that she is giving you such a hard time. Its not like you wouldn't be there if you could- that's a long trip for anyone.
Hope that Savannah's tummy gets better. We had to put Cait on Zantac and special formula when she was a baby- bad reflux.
So happy for Traci!! Wish I could come to Nana W's too :)

Hugs to everyone who pops in here today!

xoxoxo
 
Good morning ladies!!!!

I have been trying to get in here for a couple of hours...LOL....I have been logged in anyway!! :p

So....I got both of my babies early this morning...before 8. Usually Ayden doesn't come until 10:30...but his Mommy quit her job, and now she is doing temp work, and his Mommy and Daddy had to be at work early today....I usually get a couple of hours of cuddle time with Savannah :p We like that!!! She has definately gotten very cuddly...she is a round butterball!!! and still no hair...just a little fuzz...and I love rubbing her head!!! so soft and sweet and smells good!!! I don't show favortism when they are both here;) Cause they both sure are SWEET and lovable!!

I questioned myself about this decision at first...but I think things are turning out just fine!!!

LindaS....LOL!!! I am with Chris...blowing your behind some kisses!!! Have a great day sweetie!!!

Chris....I don't know why my sweet little SDD is being such a brat!!! DH says that he will not put up with a GROWN child of his acting like such a brat...he is ready to have a really good talk with her...She is just very selfish and I know it will make her MAD!! But at the same time...we can not let them bully us around!! So we shall see what happens!!

HUGS to everyone!!!!!!!!
 
Hi Ladies.....

Today is one of those days for me....I have been doing massive juggling & hat switching act lately (I know you all know how that goes) but today I am feeling like WOW I am just not dancing fast enough to keep up!! Seriously how do other Moms do it?? How do you all handle these days and keep things in perspective? (Besides our fabulous "O" family lifeline)

Today I have a sick little guy here at home....:( Waiting for the doc to call to see if he wants to see him.

Chris (((Hugs)))) I know that is was a hard decision to pull Scott but I think you made the right one. The one that will help him in the long run although it doesn't seem like it to him. You are doing what's best for him :) (((hugs)))

LindaW - awwww I love that snuggle stage!!! Oh no you SDD is still being bratty...:( Ugh that has to be so frustrating..and hurtful! (((hugs))) Maybe what she needs is her Dad to say something...it might hurt at first but then it might also shock her into reality. I hope it gets resolved soon. Fingers crossed!

LindaS - Waves!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a great day!!

Have a good one ladies!
 
Happy Thursday everyone! I hope you're all doing ok.
Chris-is Scott accepting being taken out of school ok?
LindaW-I'm picturing you sitting at the puter with both babies in your arms, LOL.
LindaS-hope today is not too bad for ya! And yes, TGIF will be here before we know it!
Kat-hope your little guy gets to feeling better quickly!

Amanda and I went to lunch at Pizza Hut and now I've got the tummy troubles, ugh. It happens everytime I eat there, you'd think I'd learn LOL.

I love you all! A big HI to everyone who pops in!
 
Good morning ladies!

So, all is well in Clara-land today. I got into a bit of a tiff with my mom this morning. The Christmas thing came up. She called and we were talking and she told me what I should get her for Christmas. i had gotten over the whole thing the other day about Christmas presents with her but it just set me off and I went off. She ended up hanging up on me. Not good. I wasn't overly upset about it. Glad kinda that I was able to say what I was feeling, not thrilled that I upset her, but glad that I didn't have to tiptoe around it. So then she called me within an hour and we got it all figured out. So no one is mad anymore. Life is all good again. Yay!!

Last night was cool. I had my chursh small group, but the group grew a bit, which was kind of fun to get to meet a few new people. PLus we are done reading the book we are reading and back to reading the bible which is always good for me because i never have read much of it so it is all great to read and discuss for me.

Tomorrow is Addie's birthday. My little girl is going to be 3. Wow!! Since tomorrow is Friday and I get off of work so late we are not doing anything major so they have a family Fun Day planned at Ethan's school so we are going there to watch a movie and then we'll go for ice cream afterward. Then on Saturday we will head off to my parents' house for a family birthday party gathering, with a friend fairy-princess birthday party the first weekend of December. It should be fun. I just can't believe she is already 3. Wow. Time sure is flying by.

Well, it is almost lunchtime so I'd better wrap this up.

Chris - I hope this works out for Scott. That is awesome that he will have a tutor, especially since he seems to be in the "parents are the enemy" phase that some kids go through. This could be a really good thing for him. Maybe it could end up being something that turns out long term but part time for him. I remember that was a big thing for me...full school days were just too much. But I was a junior and senior in high school so it was easier to figure out an early release/late start day when I drove myself to school. This will be awesome though. Plus no more 5:00 mornings for a little while. Yay!!

LindaS - Yay for almost Friday!! Whoohoo!!

LindaW - Boo for no special Savannah time but I am glad that you love both of your babies. I am really glad it is working out for you to watch them. How is saving for your camera going?? I'm loving the D3000. It is pretty groovy. I can't wait for this weekend and reasons to take lots and lots of pics. Whoohoo!! That stinks that SDD is being such a brat. You just can't please some people. In the end it will be her and her family's loss and their own bitterness that will eat them up. So don't let that eat you up. You do what you can. Hopefully your dh can talk some sense into her, if nothing else he'll make you feel good by taking up for you.

Kat - those are the days I let everything fall to the ground and say "Screw it! It's just not gonna happen." But that's me. I don't do well with that kind of pressure. Just do what you can and everything that can will fall into place and what can't isn't meant to be. Remember that you aren't a super hero even though everyone else expects you to be and delegate when you can. Oh...and when it gets really bad...every once in a while...very rarely I go up to my room and for some reason dh will not be a butt and I will just start crying and start rambling over nothing and just start laying out all the things that have me upset that I may have never laid out before because they seem silly or like something I have no right to be upset over. And then I seem to feel all better, like everything is manageable. I also don't try and be like the other mom's because I think they are all crazy. LOL!! You rock miss Kat!! I think you should get your little one all snuggled into bed and put a fun cartoon on, drop all the other crap then snuggle in next to him and watch a silly cartoon with him until you both fall asleep and take a nap. Love ya girl!!
 
Hey everybody! I've been busy and exhausted the last few days. We're getting Genny started in Special Ed, so we've had lots of appointments. I was still exhausted from our fun trip over the weekend, and I just haven't felt rested yet. I balled up my courage to ask for the sleep meds for Gen at her physical Monday, and the doctor told me he "had never heard of something like that..." well, providers and case workers have been offering them to me for the last year and 1/2, so I didn't make it up!! Also, I was really impressed with the team that is going to be teaching her in Special Ed, but all through that meeting they have been referring to her as "disabled," and for some reaon that really bothered me. I mean, I know that she has special needs, but I've just never thought of her as "disabled" before, and that makes me sad.

Anway, it's late, I should maybe have waited to post till tomorrow, but I did want to come in and say hi. I'll wait till tomorrow when people are actually around to post any personals. No appointments tomorrow morning, so hopefully we will all get some sleep tonight.

XOXO, Hugs, everybody!
 
Kat....I hope your little guy is better, or gets better soon!! Give him some big Nana hugs for me!!! and don't try to be that superhero!! Most of the time it only LOOKS like others are doing it all...they are doing the same as you..trying to figure is all out...(((HUGS))) for Mama TOO!!

Dawn...I hope you tummy is feeling better sweetie...((HUGS))...and so far, I have not tried to type with my nose yet...LOL!! it may come to that!! Today was not a great day...they were both quite fussy today,,,but we got through!

Clara...I am sorry you are having such a time with your MOM!! but at least you worked it out to not be mad anymore...wonderful!!! Sounds like church group was fun!! YAY for your baby's birthday!! WOOT!!! Give her big ole Nana Birthday hugs for me!!!!!! Fairy Princess party sounds PERFECT!!!!!!!!! I have not saved any money for my camera :confused: DH has used all of my money....HUNTING CRAP!!! But starting this week that changes!! Already put my foot down!!! I am looking at the D3000 too...either that or the D80....I need to go check them out close up and do some more reading about them....then once I get it...I need to learn how to use it...I will be hitting Helen up about that!!!

Andrea....(((HUGS)))) I am happy you are getting her into SpEd....and don't fret over that word "disabled"....I had a hard time too with it where Traci was concerned..but it's just a word!!!! It only becomes a reality if she is taught that!!! I have seen people without legs that really were NOT disabled!!! It's a mind thing...that word has to be used to get the help she needs to be NOT disabled!!! Get you some good rest sweetie!!

Don't forget they like to call us dependants. But last time I checked our spouses would lose their mind when we mention they have to hang out with the kids during lunchtime while we run to the grocery store. They should be the ones called dependants. LOL!! Just a stupid word to group people together. So lame.
