wow...time flies

can't believe where time goes. this will be short-ish (yeah, right!). i am tired, still a bit sick, and did i mention tired?

i am back in school at UALR for speech pathology...loving it...but my classes are hard, and i ridiculously feel the need to strive for a 4.0.

jay-bob is doing AMAZING at school. i won't say he "loves" school...but he really thrives in school...so i think deep down he must like it quite a bit...i believe if he could have me accompany him throughout the entire day...he would "love" school. we are all missing each other quite a bit...well...i am not so sure the OA isn't "loving" the alone time our new schedules are giving him...but he pretends to miss us!

merminator...ahh...the reason i have not been able to breathe let alone blog. sigh...let's just say it has been some of the toughest few weeks of my entire life...to include yucky childhood crap...i never want to go through the last few weeks again. they resulted in mermaid promptly being evaluated. i am 98% sure she has similar weird food sensitivities as jay-man b/c as i reflected what in the world had changed...i realized i was allowing milk in her diet ALOT and as a means to ease my guilt of putting her in preschool...i was buying her gum everyday which has the dreaded food dyes and BHT...SO...i believe those things contributed to her out-of-control-behavior...BUT...we have had some behavior issues since she was old enough to assert her very strong willed and stubborn personality...therefore, we start behavior therapy once a week for my precious mermaid the 26th of this month.

i am very thankful for the therapist as we've had great success with j-bob's eating...and already having better results from mermaid's behavior with just the few suggestions she me gave on friday. i will post specifically what i am doing with mermaid as i want to closely document the changes...i truly believe that gfcf/feingold is soooooo not just for adhd and autism! i am hoping that if i see the results i expect i will see...more moms will be willing to try the biomedical approach.

so, that's it in a nut shell...OA is doing well...he leaves at the end of the month for 5 days...the longest we will have ever been apart in almost 9 years of marriage...yet again...he's pretending that he will miss us...but i have a hard time believing him as his company is putting him up in a hotel that includes a freaking theme park!! yeah, he's not fooling me!! oh well...isn't it so tough to be the man? (insert majorly freakishly jealous glare)..sigh...i know i need a break...because today i have been bitter a few too many times...sigh..sigh...sigh...i hate it when i get so tired i can't put my mind in proper perspective...thank God tomorrow's sunday...and i don't care who is sick at my house in the morning...i need to go to church...

oh well, melatonin here i come!
