I know, it has been so long since I updated. Things have been so crazy around here. It seems like every second of my life has been consumed with learning about ADHD. There is so much to this, but for the first time in 11 years, I finally have a glimpse inside [...]

Just to follow up on last night’s rant…
I am feeling much better today. I had a good cry last night, followed by a good talk with Bob.
This morning, I took the kids for a walk to the park, which was around 2.3 miles round trip, according to Google Maps. I was good to [...]

I am so overwhelmed I cannot even put it into words. I did not realize how much I was tuning out The D’s problems and not dealing with them. I mean, I was dealing with them, but more as if he was just being a bad kid. Now I realize that this [...]

So, the D has been taking ADHD medication for a week now. I have noticed a positive difference. We still have so far to go.
I am not sure if more could be accomplished by a higher dose - he is taking a very small dose - but I am not sure if I [...]

So, we met with the Nurse Practitioner at the pediatric psychiatry department for our follow-up visit about The D, last week. I haven’t written about it yet because it is just a lot to deal with. There is such a stigma surrounding mental illness and it really took me some time to accept [...]

I have not had time to blog much lately, so here is a summary of some of the things I would like to tell you in a longer post, if I could scrounge up some *me* time.
* I am sorry that I did not get a Weight Watchers Wednesday post up this week. I [...]

Little E is doing much better. He has only needed his inhaler once each of the past two days. Both times were after some intense playing outside. His cold is still hanging on, so there is hope that once it is gone, the asthma symptoms will be too.

As I told you in my last post, Little E was up early this morning having trouble breathing. I naturally assumed that he had phlegm in his throat that was blocking his airway and didn’t think much of it.
That is until later this morning when I noticed his chest heaving as he struggled for [...]

Bob has never been very good at getting me gifts. He’s not horrible; it’s just that he often waits until the last minute and settles for something so-so.
I have to admit, though, he has had a few successes throughout the years.
Back when we were dating, he once bought me a mug that I absolutely [...]

This morning, Little E came over to my side of the bed when I was just waking up.
As I groggily opened my eyes, I joyfully exclaimed, “Oh! You here to snuggle!”
He hasn’t been snuggling with me lately because he would rather draw with Big E. He’s reaching that age where boys (maybe girls, too, [...]
