I’ve been slacking
My exercising and yoga have all gone to the wind. I'm so mad at myself because doing them was making me feel so fantastic. Why is it that I know if I walk and do yoga, I'm going to be energized and feel great, yet I can't bring my lazy ass to do them?
What I'm doing is spiraling downwards, back into my old lazy habits and into my depression. This is NOT good at all. Not good for me or my family. Right now my baby boy needs me to be in tip top shape because he's not. He's having so many problems in school and it's rough on everyone.
He's being defiant in school, constantly yelling, getting sent to the VP's office and even got sent home early one day because his disruptions are out of hand. We went to see his neuro-developmental pediatrician (she's a GREAT doctor) and she started him on ADHD meds because that is the type of behavior he is exhibiting. We haven't changed his Autism diagnosis to ADHD yet, but I see it coming in his near future.
I was also inform last month at his neurology visit that he has a small area of brain damage in his right frontal lobe. It's where they had to retract that part of the brain to gain access to his tumor. I knew this could possible happen and I'm not upset, things could have been so much worse. But the doctor said this damage is permanant. So his case worker at school is looking into the possiblity of changing his Autism diagnosis to Traumatic Brain Injury as his primary diagnosis with ADHD as a secondary, likely caused by the TBI.
So much is going on in our home, with Glenie alone, it's so much stress. I have to make sure I keep up on my meds to be able to deal with it all. I do need to get back to some form of exercise because it makes me feel good and that is what I need in my life right now.
Time to talk about Sara, we can't forget about her. But there's not much to say. She's doing great. She's happy and getting along very well with Glenie, which I know means the world to her. She adores her brother. She's home with me during the day while Glenie is at school and she's so good for me. She's really maturing. She does have one bad habit thought - she's addicted to junk food! Ick!

Current Mood: Sad
Sara also turns 4 this month, during Glenie's Spring break. So we'll get to do something fun for her that week!
This morning we dyed eggs. Instead of having the kids dip the eggs in colors I bought these really cute dye kits that look sort of like water colors and the kids rolled the colors on with a sponge roller. The eggs look great.
