Another Friday.........

This last week I hit another wall again. I haven't been sleeping and  so once I got the kids off to school I spent a lot of time laying around or playing on the net. Today I am starting to come out of it a bit ,I think because I actually slept a few hours last night.

It seems like every Friday I get a bout of depression when I realize my husband is out hanging out with his friends and I am stuck at home...again. It doesn't really matter I guess though, considering I don't really have any babysitters anymore.Nor do I have any friends I'm super tight with anymore. Today it was a little extra tough considering I actually got some sleep last night and now I have some energy to spare. Bowling,skating,movies all sound fun and I would totally go but...I can't. Usually by Saturday I get over it,LOL, but today FB isn't helping nor is the fact that my hubby is out again on another Friday without me. PITY PARTY central around here,HUH!

AHEM,On to happier topics,like my children.

 Not much to report. Things have pretty much been the same with just a few changes.
Emma- is finally hitting her "terrible two's." She seems to be a bit more "snotty" if you will.More so than the boys anyways. The boys were just defiant with a little attitude.Emma will tell me how she feels,all her emotions on her sleeves,LOL! This last Monday she got her first tricycle and is quite happy to sit and watch Dora on it.She also has been asking to sit on her bike while she eats her dinner but that hasn't flown yet,LOL!

Troy- Has really been struggling with screaming, shrieking this week. He is talking a lot more but most of it is parroting,still just the fact that he is saying anything at all makes me happy. Since I have been on the net a lot this last week I have been able to do a lot of research concerning Troy and I have finally come to the conclusion that I think I know exactly what he has. Hopefully I am wrong but all his symptoms match,I mean ALL of them. I am scheduling him to see his physician this next week to get the medical diagnosis going. Today I got an appointment with the SS department to get him set up with disability.

Gabriel- Gabe has been really good. He struggles in school a bit, mainly with just learning,it's not so much behavioral from what they've told me. Unfortunately I missed another IEP meeting for him and am completely devastated with myself as I went o ALL of Paul's meetings. Hopefully I will figure out soon what his teachers and specialist are thinking and hopefully they will believe me when I say I am sorry,ugghh. Other than all that Gabe has been as lively as ever. Although he does seem to have a penchant for pitting his brothers and sister against one another,LOL.

Paul-Has been doing wonderfully. He has become such a laid back wonderful kid. He still has a few meltdowns here and there but he really is a cool kid. He's really gotten into learning"figurative speech" in the last couple of weeks.This is something that kids on the spectrum don't usually learn on their own and have to be taught. Paul has picked up on it rather quickly. He has a  favorite phrase right now " I'm on the fence about it."

Well, thanks for letting me rant and rave all!
