Life and other things

Well, I was informed today that my medicaid will have a deductable of nearly 1500 dollars starting next month.  seems that the 31k a year my wife gets teaching is too much income for medical assistance in a family of 7. 

I had a sleep study two weeks ago, and another one next week.  Get to learn how to sleep with something attached to my face. 

We have staffing for the little guy this next week.  supposedly they are going to try to get the principal from his school to come to it.  "to try to repair the relationship..."  yep, good luck with that, he still isn't going back to school there.

i asked the hard question last week.   "What happens if my health takes a turn for the worst when he comes home?"

Rough day!!!

Well, M is finally asleep. It has been a rough day. Started with him getting a bath and writing all over the tub with a pencil. Then the mouth started. Took away all privileges. Mouth continued. Ended up being a long day and he got incredibly mouthy. He got so mad he threatened to hurt himself. So we restrained him. Then he started cussing me out. Got him calmed down. Still no privileges. He was ok for a while, then we discovered that he had a book and paper that he wasn't supposed to have. Took them away, and he started throwing things. Tried to throw my laptop. Was successful in getting it away from him without hurting him or the laptop. Got him calmed down again. I had to run an errand so left for a bit. We let him work on a puzzle with his siblings and mom. When he started getting lippy with them, we took him away from the situation. No privileges. He again started cussing me out. Finally told him that he could calm down or lose privileges for whole week before Christmas. He calmed down, shortly before snack time, he got mouthy again. Gave him his snack, and now he is sleeping. Seems quiet now.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!!! I love the little guy, contrary to what he thinks.

mornings and nights...

Nights seem to last forever since I am up to make sure someone doesn't get into anything if he happens to wake up. Then it seems like I close my eyes and it's time to get up and start the day already... Our youngest was born with an addiction and a lot of blessings. Those blessings include the ability to not need more than 4 hours of sleep at a time.
