It’s Thursday! Last day of my school week. First week back. The workload is intimidating and exciting! Next week, Swing starts pre-K; the following week, Cosmo starts the 3rd grade!
I think the return to school will be good for all of us. The boys have started to drive each other (and ME) crazy. They are bored of the park. Can you believe that? It was a fantastic place to go for quite a while, though. Swing will love pre-k, and I’ll have some time to study. (or that is the plan). I’m looking forward to the predictability of routine again.
***************************
Guess who forgot to post? ROFL! Well, school’s been keeping me busy, that’s for sure! Five classes. 13 credits… I can do it! It will be nice when the Woodsman is back from hunting tomorrow. He wasn’t gone long, but he’s such an enormous help and support with school… I really miss him when he’s gone.
Swing loves preschool! He’s been doing great! He’s making friends, and is doing a good job following directions. It’s a relief, really. Sometimes the ADHD thing makes me wonder if I’m crazy and I’m just really not doing things right. Knowing that the same techniques that haven’t worked on Cosmo DO work on other kids… it’s a strange relief.
Cosmo starts back Tuesday! We are so excited; he got in to a Science Magnet school nearby! He loves science! LOVES it! I’m hopeful that a “new start” will be good for him socially, and that the focus on science will benefit him academically.
We’ve changed meds again. Back to the stimulants. Bigger guns this time. The hope is that the “stronger” medicine will help him on a lower dose so he can sleep at night. So far it’s looking like we’ll have to go with part stimulant and part non-stimulant so he can focus and sleep.
I’ll close with this… kinda defines life right now…
great picture! (i can relate. my big boys did something similar many years ago!)
ReplyDeletewelcome back.
Definitely chuckle worthy though I'm glad that I chose shaving cream outside and the kids didn't get the peanuts inside. I think I have a small phobia to them. They always have that weird static electricity charge and you can't shake them off. Okay, I'm just weird.
ReplyDeleteOh, Carla... I didn't choose the peanut fun. That was all Seth, made possible by the morons at Dyson, who returned my (not fixed) vacuum in a box filled with them. I'll be locating little static-generating foam pellets for years, I'm sure.
