Monday Moments

• It's the first day of March break, I am still breathing, check in tomorrow my status may have changed.
• Calvin got busted for eating candy canes and then hiding the wrappers under his pillow.I am not sure where he got them but they must of been somewhere. I have been threatening the return of the baby monitor to their room, I think it is time. In his defence he dealt rather well with being confronted about it and although he lied when confronted he came clean when he realised that he was totoally busted.
• He is now taking melatonin at night, perhaps forcing the hyper vigilant child to sleep will create a little more sanity in our lives. We have also put them both Niacin after a few other suggested it.
• The sun is shining and they are on their way outside, I may break down and let them watch some TV later, maybe not though.
• I really hate it when other people ignore me and give my children things I have said that they can not have. They do not at all get that they are creating all sorts of issues and that I will have to spend the next number of hours/days picking up the pieces.
• I am going to play with some blog layouts, I know what I want but I can not find it.
• Would someone like to come over and wash the dishes, I hate dishes.
• We met with "team Fudge" on Thursday, to make a long story short -  ADHD (this is a good article that talks about some of the other factors that contribute) stays but the belief is that the majority of these behaviours including the significant memory issues are a result of neglect and disorganized attachment as an infanct and young child which is thought to of affected the right hemisphere of his brain. FASD is not off the table but it does not really get us anywhere in the school system here and bio Mom has not admitted to drinking so we are not going to pursue it at this time. We are adding a arithmetic disability and will work on the memory gaps and learning some social cues with him in therapy and at home. We'll revisit it in a year and see how things are.
• I think this all the time I have, I have to go be a Mom, thank God we have wireless now and I can supervise monsters children and blog at the same time.
