I don't normally blog this early. But, I'm feeling positive and productive this morning. I have a friend headed out into 36 degree weather to help with Habitat for Humanity...I'm not feeling THAT productive, but I did make a hot breakfast of grits for my babies for breakfast, and cuddled with my main squeeze.
I dealt with a lot of stuff going on with Rachel at school yesterday, and feel really good coming out of it. The positivity that I'd like to start pouring on that girl starts today. If you know us well, then you know how brilliant she is. You also know that has struggled for years with focus and organization. For years, ADD was suggested to us...I didn't want to hear it. No, you're not going to medicate my child. No, she doesn't have that, she's being lazy. No, she needs to just do what we ask her to do. No, you're not going to medicate my child. In November, I took her to a psychiatrist. She was diagnosed ADD. And started medication. And we saw an instant, wondrous change. The same beautiful, sweet, brilliant girl is now focusing on her work. All is not lost......it is not too late for her to excel the remainder of her junior year and through her senior year. Signed her up for SAT's, she's looking at colleges. My girl is going to be excited about college and her career, and no matter what it is, be happy doing it!!!!!
I can't see my desk as I type this...I can barely reach my coffee cup because it's positioned in the one little spot available. Wanna know why? Because Rachel's work is spread out all over it.
Headed out to go camping this weekend, girls only......no boys allowed. The roos are coming. If we're not back safe by Sunday afternoon, contact the authorities...and it's likely the roos' fault.
