Skipping a few pages to say....... Robby's appointment went fine I guess........ she is a play therepist and thinks it would be beneficial to start regular appointments..... we haven't really gotten to talk one on one.. and she asked me to elaborate on the separation from his biological father and the adoption.. etc......... so I wrote a damn novel this morning and emailed it to her already.......... and it was the ABREVIATED version.. LOL He goes tonight for his MD apt. and then the first night of wrestling..... boy howdy I am taking my meds like clockwork, and I think they do make me sleepy..... I don't feel any different but this morning Charles pointed out that last night was THE FIRST TIME that I didn't cry while watching Extreme Home Makeover! LOL and he right....... it usually gets me! So maybe they are working!!!! Hell I dont know. Weight is still here...... blah 185 today

OK.. so I called my company EAP and they gave me a list of 4 people to call.......... one lady actually answered her own phone but then when it came to scheduling she kept saying.. "well, Im full, well, oh no that won't work....." until it was in to december and i just said...*nearly in tears* "oh well.. I don't really need this, lets forget it..." and hung up. Then I came here and laughed my ass off...... so then I called the next number, and again they are booked in to December.... so I just said that I would call the next number on the list.... and that person had voicemail, so I left my number. Yes, my sis would KICK MY ASS if she knew that I posted it!!!!!! This pic is what she really looks like... and that is my mom who is getting the band 12/11/08 in Denver

Tracy: you are cracking me up!!!!!!!!!!!! Laura: I never really felt Robby kick....... but in the last few months he would Roll...... and it was THE WIERDEST feeling! I am on my second glass of water.......... but sadly I did have a peanut cluster..... ok I had TWO! I have an appointment with DS, MD on Monday and the school psyc and I have been going back and forth via email all day. She is going to put together his latest IEP, and make some observations of impulsivity this week along with some other info from the Special Ed teacher .. a nice tidy little packet to give the doc......

I'm not going to even THERE Amanda........ Charles HATES MY BAND! He is jealous of it......... He says my ass is flat and that my hair cut looks like shit..... (I'm VENTING) I just called him to say that I made an appointment for Robby with his MD and he just wanted to get off the phone........ it is a good thing that there aren't BAD THINGS for me to eat right now.... OK. OK I need to calm down without food........ I did drink one pink glass of water (pink 30 oz glass) You will see a complete 180 on me, if he starts doing better in school..... I am pretty sure that I'm depressed/stressed...... I called my company EAP for Robby and the intake lady wants me to call back and make my own appointment..... LOL.. I am afraid to honestly........ If I start unloading EVERYTHING I may just end up divorced, and that is something I'm not prepared to deal with right now.......... Don't let me go MIA....... OK?

good morning girls........... I have not weighed in two days, but today I am trying to make good choices.... I ate a grilled cheese sandwich, AND thin crust pizza yesterday! DAMN........... oh and about 1/2 a tin of chocolate/caramel covered popcorn....... not a pretty day for me. Today, I've had coffee w/ sf creamer a few slices of cheddar cheese WC oatmeal made with cream and water (cutting down the carbs) I will be having cottage cheese for lunch SF pudding cup for snack (if needed) oh, and I'm going to make an appointment for Robby..... the special ed teacher says she is sure he had at least the HD part of ADHD......... we had a lonnnggggggg talk Friday pm..... Charles is not helping matters, making me feel like crap for even hinting at the need for meds.... he had me in tears Friday saying things ..like........ "Fine! Drug Him! Whatever, Dope him up!" I finally told him to shut up because I already was feeling guilty... My boss is gone this week so I have a super busy time ahead....... plus I am just at my wits end....... I am pretty sure I'm re inflating my belly......... DH is blissfully giddy that I CAN eat food..... I've got to be strong... Strong everywhere.......
