So much STRESS!!!!!
I got home from babysitting Landon and Jordan about 2 hours ago. I don't think I've ever been so happy to be home. Today was absoulutely insane, to say the least.
It's official, 4 year olds will be the death of me. On Tuesday, since it's Spring Break and all, the kids are going on a field trip. It's just bowling, but it's a chance to get these kids out of the school, at least for a few hours, which would help tremendously. I don't even know if I want to go anymore. Today was horrible and I just don't know if I want to put myself in that position again (especially in a public place).
Dominic had an episode (about 15 minutes before his Dad showed up), and I ended up having to restrain him while Cara called his mother since he was flailing around and trying to kick, pinch, bite and slap me and one of the other children. I don't know what else to do. He's been diagnosed (ADHD, slight Autism, sensory disorder and 2 other things we can't remember), but it seems as if nothing's being done about it. I feel badly for his mom, because she can't really do anything about it. I know that his behavior isn't going to change overnight, but we expected to see some kind of change by now.
This kid is incredibly intelligent, and on his good days he can be very sweet, but those days are coming less and less. The only thing I can hope for right now, is that his 2 1/2 year old brother doesn't take after him.
On a much happier note, yesterday was my 21st birthday! I'm just glad that it's done and over with. Well technically I still have some celebrating left to do, Sea World on Wednesday (because yes, I'm still 3 years old), and next weekend we're going to the Improv in Ybor, and tomorrow, free dinner at JoTo's with Jackie. Happy times.
And to close this insane entry, I leave you with this insane picture of "me" and Caplan, because I listened to that recording of his and Cary's Cutting Room gig (from September) last night and just about died laughing. It made my birthday even better.
