It looks like Tommy is going to continue his downward spiral today. I did finally figure out that he is trying to push Noah’s friends away so that he can have Noah all to himself. Sarah sat in my bed watching TV until 1 a.m. and is making up for it by sleeping all day […]
Tommy had a total meltdown in the parking lot before soccer practice. He continued to be obnoxious and I was very grateful when the graduate student called to reschedule our interview. Hopefully Tommy will do better after a good night’s sleep. Text messaged Doug when Tommy was driving me crazy at soccer and regretted it […]
Survived the McKay’s outing. Now I just chill for a half an hour and then we head off to soccer practice.
Just got a call from a graduate student wanting to interview me about Aspergers. Fine, no problem. She also wants written literature. Twenty-five copies of each piece. Ummm, I don’t really have that much literature any more.
I’m as ready as I’ll ever be to take the crowd to McKay’s. I just need to round up Sarah and Noah. Tommy is very out-of-control today and getting on my very last nerve. The zoo project is not going very well right now. I prefer for things to be planned and organized ahead of […]
Everyone got to bathe last night except me. I’m hoping I get a turn this morning. Tommy is wild. “Can we got McKay’s now? Now? Now?”
Three children bathed, one still playing in the tub. One child sleeping (or undressing) and two children playing video games. Upstairs almost back to normal. Mom calmer and ready to settle in for the evening. Dad partying with old friends.
I’ve sent out dozens of e-mails today (mostly Girl Scout related, but other projects too) but gotten nothing back. I’m in a holding pattern until I get some replies. The children are fed and Tommy has camped out in the bathtub which prevents Sarah and Noah from bathing. I bathed Amy in the sink so […]
I’m having a moment of anger right now and trying to tell myself that it’s all small stuff not worth getting upset about. I just went out front to check on the mess and found that Sarah had taken outside a brand new case of little gatorades which needed to last two weeks. Those were […]
Every child in the neighborhood is playing in the cove. It’s nice to be able to look out the front and back window and see what everyone is doing. It won’t be so nice later on when I see the mess left behind but it’s worth the mess. Amy finally nodded off. It took a […]
