Woke up late this morning. Which means that we were late handing out the ADHD meds. Rushing = Incredible Meltdown while trying to get reluctant, un medicated child to a counselling appointment. We get in the car and he opens with, "So are suicide bombers going to hell?" It's too early for this deep of a conversation, early on a Saturday morning…. #deepthoughts #chaos #jeremyjude

Sometimes it hurts to parent a child with anxiety. We've been working through this book (and it's fabulous) but Siah was sharing about how he feels scared to get up and go to the bathroom in the night time. The top picture says "a monster will be under my bed". His solution – "count to 5 and rub my knees". It breaks my heart to see him working through the same fears that I had and to see how hard he struggles to live and fight against anxiety. Telling your child that it's not normal to freak out because their food is touching or because their hair feels messy……it is their normal…..it's all they know. #anxiety #siahchristopher #mentalhealth #talkaboutitopenly #picstitch

#microblogmondays

I’ve been reading Tara’s #microblogmondays for a while now and while things are crazy busy around here….I should be able to find a few minutes to throw up a few sentences, right? Here’s hoping.

I’m plopped down right in the middle of unbelievable chaos. My house is a disaster and I’m going to have to kick it into high gear to be able to accomplish what I’d like to before the children come home. I wrote this list so that I’d be able to cross things off. There is so much more to do, but even if I can accomplish any of those things, I’ll call it a win.

I’ve set myself a goal but I’m not entirely convinced that it’s possible. I’m trying desperately to “finish” Christmas shopping and the majority of the “prep” by next Saturday so that we can just enjoy the final week before Christmas. We will see how that goes….but I guess I’d better get moving if I have any hope of actually accomplishing anything today.
