Do you want the Good news or Bad news first?

Let’s go with good first. Joseph and his diagnosis. I’ve been pretty forthright here about his issues. I haven’t said what meds he’s on, or our specific therapeutic choices. Suffice it to say – we’re on it. However, after our foray into the psychiatric hospital system, the discharge diagnosis was bipolar disorder. Well – one [...]

Sunday and Beyond

As time has gone by, and Thanksgiving prepared and served and celebrated… I don’t have the patience to update on the rest of the blow by blow. So here’s the general gist…
On Sunday, I called and wanted an update on Joseph. He was doing great behaviorally, ate and slept, and was in general good spirits. [...]

Friday and Saturday

As I work and try to prep for Thanksgiving at the same time… the events of those 5 days are getting farther from concrete memories to impressions.
On Friday, Poe took care of Logan’s getting to school, and let me sleep in. I was up so late the night before, and the emotional toll was great. [...]

Thursday

I’m going to try to explain what happened in small doses, because I am short on time, and because I’m short on spirit.
For those who might not read regularly, Joseph has mental and emotional/behavioral issues, as well as specific learning disabilities. As a result, he is on medication to help regulate his emotional control (a [...]

It’s not pretty around here

I’m working on the entry about our son’s saga. Because it entails 5 days worth of hell, it’s going to take me a bit. But I need to get it out, and I also want it to refer to – before I forget certain details. I hesitated in posting anything at all. But Joseph’s issues [...]

Living Nightmares

I’m stuck in a living nightmare with one of my children. I’m not able to process it completely yet here. One – it’s not over yet, and I’m hoping to have a conclusion to the story tomorrow. Two – I’m in a limbo of thought and action… I can’t seem to accomplish anything. It’s sort [...]

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

I could talk about how my school district wants to bus my kid out to another district ’cause they can’t handle him. Too frustrating, raw, and in flux.
Could talk about Poe’s continued unemployment. But really? Haven’t you heard that one before?
Could talk about certain theories about 2012, Israel peace treaties, 7 horses, [...]

State of Michele

I really don’t have a lot of time to write in my OWN blog, as I have other commitments, school starting, my business, my father, and home renovations going on. I am hear though. I’m reading your blogs, I’m reading your tweets… I’m just not talking back right now.
As for dad… [...]

Cancer Strikes

A while ago, my father had a bad fall in his garage. He went to pick something up from the ground, and lost his balance and toppled. My father is a big man. 6′ and a good 250. And yes, he was a linebacker in high school. In trying to [...]

Hot Cross Buns

I just got home from a concert of Joseph’s 3rd grade class. Three classes, playing their recorders. I suppose less is more in describing that one. Heh.
I’ll be uploading videos onto my YouTube account today maybe. We’ll see. Or maybe Vimeo. Last time I tried YouTube, it hated me. [...]
