I think I'm at the point where getting an actual diagnosis (Aspergers/HFA) would be beneficial and even empowering. I'm really nervous, because I hate relying on stupid doctors to interpret my thought process based on a 15 minute meeting or whatever. Well, anyway, I need to find a family doctor here, and then find a time when I can actually make it ( Read more... )

Sorry I haven't been around much. Hopefully after we get settled into the new place, I'll be able to update and comment more.

But, yay! This is our last night in this crappy little slum.

I have so much work to do between today and tomorrow, I'm not sure it's all gonna get done. I need to make a list to keep me on track and make sure I don't get sidetracked. SO ( Read more... )

Fuck, we need to MOVE NOW. Mark was sleeping last night, and a fucking mouse chewed on his finger! That's fucking disgusting. He had to take the day off work and go to the clinic for a tetanus shot. YUCK, YUCK. He's gonna talk to our landlord tomorrow, and tell him that we might be out June 1st, July 1st at the latest. Hopefully he'll accept that ( Read more... )

My mom came down for the day today. We brought the boys to Value Village, and then to visit my brother for a while. Then, we dropped the boys off and took Lexie to the mall. It was a pretty good day. I don't get to see my mom enough. I bought myself a watch (finally), some of those really comfy foam sandals, and a binder to use as my flylady ( Read more... )

Today is boring. I'm tired and my head kind of hurts. I should be cleaning my house, it's a disaster. But, I'm not. I haven't even bothered to shower yet. I will soon, maybe. Mark took Kaiden out for lunch and they're going to pick up his bonus check. Nothing else happening today, really. Blah.

Mark's boss talked to him about his three month raise today. Not only is he going to be earning an extra $2.50/hour (which is totally unexpected -- we were thinking maybe an extra dollar, two if we were really lucky), but his boss is making it retroactive from the day he started! So, tomorrow, he can go pick up a bonus check (tax free) for $2.50 ( Read more... )

I took Lexie and Kaiden and met Michelle (from GM) and her little boy, Josh, at the aquarium. It was nice to meet another GM, and we had a lot of fun. Josh is such a sweetheart. Since it was a holiday, it was sooo busy in there...yuck. It ended up taking me 4 fucking hours to get home, when it should only take me an hour. First, I decided to walk ( Read more... )

Ugh, now that my kids are getting older and interacting with more kids their own age...going to school, etc. Easter, Christmas, and losing baby teeth has become a huge pain in the ass.  I WILL NOT encourage my children to lie...I WILL NOT tell my children that the fact that the Easter bunny is just a story is "our little secret"... and I don't care ( Read more... )
