Oh and if I were closer I would totally go running but you would probably leave me in the dust...I need to get crackin' to be able to do that 20K next month! Have fun at poker...
20k is about 12 miles isn't it? Just getting that far is impressive.
Cake-eating moment of the week. Since golf was rained out I was laying on the couch when the phone rang. Today was muffins with mom at D7's school. STBXW forgot to give D7 her ADHD medicine and if she went home to get the medicine after breakfast she'd be very late to work. Could I please bring D7 her medicine.
Sigh. I wish golf had worked out so I could have said no ... but I finished most of my work last night so I said yes.

LOL, but I have an ADHD kid too so I know it is just as tough on them when they don't have their meds as it is on the adults.
If you don't mind my asking, what kind of meds is your D on? The Tween is on a dermal patch. Same meds in Concerta. Love it.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
Marc used to have the patch (Daytrana) but he outgrew it and had to go to Concerta in pill form. I found a cocktail of vitamins in a research paper from an Autism spectrum specialist that I give Marc along with his medicine that seems to be giving him great results! I give him 1000mg Vitamin C, 700mg B6, 500mg Magnesium. Those vitamins help seratonin and dopamine levels in the brain which is what they believe causes ADHD and affects some Autism.
Just an FYI. You might want to try adding some vitamins into her therapy other than just a multivitamin.

Lola, the name escapes me. It's just 5 miligrams. Personally, I don't think she needs it. She was doing great in a small classroom, but she was doing so well they moved her back to full classroom and her issues started to pop up again -- so they pushed to have her back on the meds.
Mishka, I read an ADHD book and the thing they stressed is protein. D7 needs protein before school.

My ex texted me the day we were telling the kids..."It sucks but they deserve to live in a place where there isn't so much tension and fighting. It's just a big mess we made...sure it will change their lives forever but what scarring was being done before?"
Meaning better to live apart in peace than together in turmoil. Cause apparently there was no option C in his world, where we figure out our differences and move forward together without all the tension...very black/white mentality on the WAS's....
I agree BBJ...the WAS never sees that trying to work on the existing relationship is an option! But then again, that would mean examining their own actions and maybe having to make changes to themselves.....much easier to blame the other person and run away!

Ain't that the ultimate truth!!! Perfect.

Mine, too.Mine, too. Sad. And so disappointing. And while I am dealing with my anger over this now, finally - with the help of IC and The Journey From Abandonment To Healing - my overriding emotion these days is just one of deep, deep disappointment: I have never in my life been so disappointed in a person...and when it finally happened, that person was her!?!?
