- Wonder Boy seems to be more alert with the new medication. I will try to banish from my mind the fears of narcolepsy. He has been suffering from EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness) despite improved sleep quality with the cpap machine for sleep apnea. As I explained here, he is starting on Ritalin. My husband had to take our son to that doctor appointment with the sleep specialist, but he swears to me that narcolepsy was never mentioned. Now, being the over analyzer that I am, I have begun to worry that the Ritalin is for narcolepsy instead of just EDS. But then again, Wonder Boy does not does and nap -- he just drags himself along like a little soldier. I will have to take him to the next appointment with a notebook full of questions. As of now (day 2) he appears more alert and cheerful without being hyper or scary. YAY for this!
- Super Girl's soccer season ended. She had fun and I behaved :-)
- Super Girl is doing better in school than Wonder Boy -- she had great conferences, I'm proud of her! What a difference from last year!
- Wonder Boy is bringing up his worst ever grades, what a relief!
- No word yet on my graduate school application.
- My sister is scheduled to deliver baby #2 in just 4 weeks -- YIPPEE!
- Hubby still is not certain which path to take for school -- nursing or teaching. I'd like him to teach because his is great with kids and so we can both be on the same schedule. He had been thinking of nursing prior to getting the current job (note I say job, not career gig). Praying for discernment for him... time to hitch it to the giddy up!!
- I've been traveling for work, my brother still can't drive. Wish he'd get his license back!!
- Halloween Dance at the Middle School: SUCCESS!! Both of my two liked their costumes (a huge feat since we pulled it together the night before and day of the dance!). Both had a great time with their friends! Both were asked to dance with a member of the opposite sex! Both didn't have to dance so close with that person or for too long so it wasn't creepy or icky. Wonder Boy is still basking in the glow of being asked to dance by the "cute girl from 5th hour who's name I don't know." I bet he learns her name on Monday!
- Mother inlaw is mad at me for skipping an event today. I wasn't up to it so I'm over it.
Life is good! Short post, but I'm worn out!

sounds like everything is going well! i LOVE the picture - such beautiful colors.
We have 2 more weeks of soccer, and there has been no mention of a middle school dance so I may just be out of the woods on that one! Yay! :)
Sounds like things are going well.
Teacher or nurse? Although teachers don't make the income nurses do... at least teachers don't (usually) have to worry about being exposed to life altering needle pricks and such.
Middle school dances never were my favorite thing. We have 28, 24 and 18 year old biological daughters as well as being in the process of adopting a 4/6 year old brother/sister.
I figure if they are going to dances in middle school what will they feel they have the right to do in high school.
I prefer my kids take things slow(er) than most. I'm okay with not being the most popular dad. Kids already have friends, they are called peers.
