WOW!!!

It has been way too long since I posted. Ever since I started working I feel so drained that it is hard to get motivated to post anything.

November has been a crazy busy month. My sister had her gallbladder out so I was helping out where I could with her children. I have been christmas shopping whenever I have a free minute. I was trying to finish before Thanksgiving but I didn't quite make it this year. I still have a few odds and ends to pick up. Then last sunday my moms side of the family got together for a Thanksgiving feast of pizza :) I am pretty sure if my grandma was alive she would be so very disappointed in us for that one.

Thanksgiving was a bust for me. We went to Ricks parents house and we were told the wrong time so everyone started without us. Kindof left me in a foul mood. We were scraping for some of the food. But we did get fed. I don't know what it is but his parents are really striking a nerve with me lately. They are great people but they have done a few things that have struck me wrong. One day we were over to their house and Rick had been there for hours working on an outdoor playhouse and the boys were being rowdy and his dad started swearing at them and yelling. It really hurt my feelings because this is the impression my kids will have of their grandpa. We don't get out to see them that often and I feel like it should be a good experience and not a bad one. I should have said something but I just packed the kids up and left. Rick stayed behind and ate some dinner that she only made him (that's a whole other story). Another thing is that she forgot to get Adam a birthday present. She usually gives them money so I just gave Adam the money that she would have given him. But his feelings were hurt that she forgot about him. I dunno what to think but enough of that:)

I shopped one store on black friday and got me a wheat grinder for $150 what a deal:) I left at 5:30 and was home and back to sleep by 6:10 so not too bad. We ended up putting up the christmas tree and the house lights so we are all ready for the christmas season at our house.

The kids are all doing great. Deshawn is struggling a little bit with his emotions. I am not sure what that is about but he is doing a little better the last couple of days. Since his last doctor appt we have been dealing with another diagnosis. He was Diagnosed ADHD. This is really not something I noticed before because I have really only focused on his other issues. So now we are trying to decide to add more meds or not. Right now I am leaning towards no. I thought I would list on here his official diagnosis for some people that don't know. He has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS which is in the autism family also Anxiety disorder, Oppositional Defiant disorder, Fetal Alcohol syndrome, Expressive language disorder,Developmental coordination disorder, insomnia and now ADHD. So as you can see we have our hands full with him. We love him so much and just want the best for him. I just hope we can give him everything he needs.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
