Hilarious

So an ex-friend of mine I found out now lives in Lexington, KY. He was a close friend at one time, but he told untrustworthy people some things about me that he was told in confidence. Then his now girlfriend was convinced we were sleeping together (mind you, Dan and I have been married all this time). Yeah, that friendship ended on a sour note. Now he and his *ahem* lady friend live a lot closer to me than he used to. Good thing we don't have any inclination to see/speak ever again.

I took a bunch of A. J.'s old clothes to the consignment sale. I am hoping that everything sells, and I will have some money to buy A. J. some new clothes to replace what I am selling. Next sale will be pretty good too I think, as it will be all of this past summer's clothes along with items like his baby bathtub and bath ring. The more turnover I have, the better in this case. And the nice things is 25% of the proceeds go to the church for the Youth and Children's activities. Works for me :)

Depression hurts

Yes, it sure does. And I have it. I've been moody, sad, and crabby for the past few weeks.

Let me say this. ANYONE who says that dealing with a child with ADHD is easy is fooling themselves. Now, try TWO ADHDers and a newly minted toddler! Chaos reigns supreme most days right now, and I'm treading water to get it back under control. I love my kids, and I love my husband. But I need help. Not just going to the Dr. and getting put on pills. Not just help with the laundry and dishes. I need love and compassion. All I feel I'm getting lately are demands and spite. I don't know what to think anymore. I can't keep going on like this tho. One way or the other, something is going to give.

The fruits of Labor Day

Morning to everyone out there!

It's Labor Day weekend. I remember how much I dreaded it as a kid. Labor Day weekend brought on the end of summer vacation. We started school the day after. Nowadays, my kids start school at the beginning to mid August. I am still trying (after 10 years) to figure out why they need all of these days off. We did 't have them, and we lived. Ah well.

Yesterday was Ali's BFF's birthday party. Another pool party for us to enjoy. Probably the last one of the year. It was fun, and the kids were properly worn out by the time we got home. We even slept in this morning. I think Kait is going to Six Flags today with her friends. I know they wanted me to go, but I am not a teenage girl.

A. J.

I love this picture of A. J. He's looking out my bedroom window. He's going to be a handsome little man when he grows up. Poor girls :)
