About Me

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
I'm first of all a Christian mother. I have five children and two grandchildren whom I adore. Does this make me June Cleaver? Not even on a good day. But I do wake up every day acutely aware of how my actions affect the behavior of my children and even others around me. I said I was AWARE of it not that I was GOOD at it! So goes my day...

YEEAAAAA!! The 6 Week Body Makeover program came! YYYEEEAAAA!!! ........Doing a happy dance right now (Does that count as cardio?)! Ok, so now I have to get really serious.......really.........Right now............Ok, later. But, Yeaaa!
Also a "yeehah," Ian's psychiatrist appointment is today. He gets his meds refilled today, that's all. Ian won't be seeing the psycho-therapist until August 22nd. He'll be fine as long as he is mentally occupied for most of the time. He's extremely intelligent but has some really wide emotional swings and serious anxiety issues. And no, he's not bi-polar. We went through that whole thing over a 6 month period when Ian was in a drug trial program. The reason I chose a drug trial program is because they monitored him weekly as opposed to monthly. If there was a problem it was handled immediately so that med levels could be adjusted accordingly. The medical staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and patient; something you don't always find in your basic child psychologist.
Ian's friend, Eli, is here right now. They're like two peas in a pod. It's funny that Ian was the one I worried most about adjusting in public school and finding friends. He seems to find friends everywhere and anywhere.
He struggles with understanding God's motives in regard to his abilities. He seems to be the only child in the immediate family that has difficulty drawing. But then "drawing" has connections with "focus" and mental "clarity." Ian's poor brain is always running on all 6 cylinders. But he sleeps like the dead.....when he does sleep. Now......to get that grandbaby to sleep all night!
