Who said I could have a life?
I was starting to believe there wasn't an end to the madness, but I think I finally see and end to the insanity. It's been unreal, and I don't ever want to move again. Nope, not ever. And anyone that ever asks me to move again in Mississippi in August will be laughed at. Not no, but hell no. I am surprised we didn't all melt.
I went to check the mail last Friday and found a lovely surprise from lmichelle599! I got a postcard from her on her trip! *hugs tight* Thank you! I love getting mail. :)
So, where do I stand with the house? Well, almost all the boxes are unpacked, trash (or what was deemed as trash) has been cleared away, and things are starting to really look like a home! We have cleared out, sorted, and reboxed so much stuff it's unreal. I don't know how we managed to accumulate that much crap. And we threw away at least 3 or 4 truck fulls of stuff. Gah!
School started up the week after we moved, so that just added to the chaos, but Carter is doing well. He really loves the new house and there are several kids in the neighborhood and he's already making friends.
This past weekend we went to Jackson because Craig had drill, and Carter acted so bad! It was awful, and I'm really starting to get worried about it. I thought it was the moving and school, but he's getting worse. And he's fixated on fans and light switches! I know that sounds crazy, but it's true! He keeps going around flipping them on and off, constantly. It's bizarre, and this weekend it was just like he couldn't help himself and would seem to zone out and not hear you when you told him to stop. It wasn't just your general defiance you normally see in kids. You would literally have to grab him and make him look at you and even then it was like he was looking past you and not really hearing you. Ugh. I dunno. I'm afraid he may have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). But my mom thinks he's acting more like he's got autism or something. Because he's struggling with reading in school, but math he just flies at. And it's like that with a lot of things. Higher cognitive things he seems to grasp and run with, but basic concepts and things you'd expect him to get, he doesn't.
I'm really getting worried about it. I've written a not to his teacher to be aware and watch him. I may be overreacting, but something doesn't seem right and I can't shake that feeling. Mother's instinct and all that.
On fandom related stuff, I haven't been too busy not to see my shows! And let me just say: 200, I loved it! I thought it was really funny. There were parts I wish they'd shown more of, and I was happy to see RDA come back. I loved Teal'c, P.I.! And the whole thing with O'Neill being Cam's dad cracked me up.
I loved "The Real World" as well. Man, Elizabeth was awesome in this one. As was the rest of the cast and Sheppard's concern was so apparent, it almost made me jump ships. ;)
I wasn't very happy with the ending though. All a little too convenient, but I guess that's the way it goes. I just can't believe it came down to her just... what? Willing the replicator things away? C'mon, she'd been fighting it the whole time really.
Hmmm, what else?
I plan to cap the SG-1 special for the next pron tonight.
And does anyone know where I can find that behind the scenes clip from SGA where Paul McGillion picks up and spins around Cadman (I'm having a brain fart, can't think of her real name). I really want to see that and I've heard people talk about it but noone has given me an answer where to find it. *pouts*
