I stink at it, which is one of the reason I rarely mention our issues in my blog and the main reason most people in internet land and real life have no clue what our life is really like. I feel like I’m whining/complaining when I mention it, and feel like I’m not being totally real/honest when I don’t.

My mom decided this was a great week to hire our handyman to do some “small” repairs at my house, too- just before school, yay! So right now I am down to one working bathroom…

Considering M never slept through the night for her first eight or nine years of life…well, I know how draining that is! Hugs!

I am anxious to hear what difficulties you have noticed with the medication. As you know we are bound to certain medications here with M and have had success and great difficulties with them as well. Right now M has a rash so we are calling the doctor tomorrow. A Lamictal rash or just a rash? I have no idea! Argh!

Sending you all hugs and prayers and so glad to be back blogging.

Charlie had some really difficult experiences when he went off one psychiatric medication and then onto another and it was a crazy time. am glad with you for cooler temps on the horizon!

@Christine yes, that’s it exactly! Extreme Parenting! I like that.

@Ange I’ll take all the hugs I can get lately! Thanks.

Hope Nik’s ear infection clears up soon.

I wasn’t complaining or anything, just saying. … she paused and said: Wow, that sounds kind of extreme. I just laughed because one person’s extreme, apparently, is our normal. Extreme parenting — that’s what your post made me think. Anyway, there is no point here, really, except to say: I’m sending you warm and sleepy thoughts :-)
