Enjoy your day.

oiye, I think we made it.

Did the shopping and ate lunch .

Took the one child to speech and just hung out around the sporting goods store and Target. I was looking for a new swimming inner tube type toy for the kids. Ended up buying myself some sunglasses instead. Oh yeah, they're workin for me, can't ya tell?

And then the drive home . . . in rush-hour traffic . . . . I kept praying that Scotty would beam us up and drop us off at home instead of needing to drive through the traffic. Didn't happen . Ever tried to work on your patience with an autistic child sitting in the back seat of your car, singing or humming the same song over and over again??? It always turns out to be such a prayerful time, . And did I mention begging and threatening???? Sometimes that slips out too. (SIGH)

Well, thank goodness we made it home. I later learned that "spouse/roommate/husband/whatever we are right now" had a nice nap with number 2 child .

(*Pray* Prayer was good. I ended up on the computer. I was also planning on taking a short nap before dinner too. I thought that might help as well.)

I do have to be grateful though. Usually, he will take the boys to speech and let me sleep. Sooooo, it really was my turn. Yeah, had to suck it up on that one .

"Roommate etc" made dinner and baked a cake for dessert.

The dinner was delicious and healthy for us.

Very concerned where this is headed. Been down this road to some extent before. Hate to say to much good , cause when it all goes to H in a handbasket don't want to end up here again!!! My emotions won't be able to take that again.

However, "grasshopper did vedy good" so I coughed up the kudos. Heck the food was great and the kids willingly ate a second helping of spinach. Hmmmmmm,

When it comes to diet stuff the usual attitude has been . Hopefully this doesn't repeat. I don't think I can handle another repeat of this attitude. I am concerned I may end up looking like this . And I definitely don't want that either.

Nonetheless, God is good; and, there aren't supposed to be any sacrifices on the altar of insanity and . That would be bad, vedy vedy bad.

so with this thought in mind , and hopefully you've had some laughs from my silly post , I say goodnight to everyone.

p.s. I did go after dinner. The exercise helped me stay much more calm this evening.

Yes I did enjoy your humor...I must say I've never tried rush hour traffic with an autistic child...but I have tried it with a teenager...and I'm wondering if it could be similiar...as my teen makes me a nervous wreck at times...no pun intended there

Today is the day the Lord has made...let us rejoice and be glad in it.

luv ya sis

[Whisperingsprings]

Hmmm, can't think of much to say about being with a teenager.

Did you mention your child was driving????

If so, then that would be nerve "wrecking" .

Mlg, you crack me up too.

I need to go back out and swim again or complete errands or something. I can't quite seem to get everything focussed in my head.

However, I am down from 100mg of my antidepressant to 50mg. I feel less fatigued and more awake. I had to break the dose of 100mg in 50mg tablets taken 2times a day. I was already tired, fatigued, exhausted from all the hours at work, etc.


So my current changes are listed below:
Cut back work hours (don't know how I will pay the bills but I'm functioning better too

Cut back on my zoloft so I can actually be awake and function. I think the people at work are looking at me funny. I'm foggy for a while after I take the zoloft. Another reason I am cutting back. Don't want anyone to think I'm taking illegal drugs or anything.

Reading either my Bible or at least one scripture per day.

Journaling to relieve additional tension not accomplished with other methods.

Exercising more frequently and consistently, which should be easier because I'm not feeling foggy from the medicine or overly fatigued from work.

Those sound like great changes sis...just make sure you consult your doctor on your med changes.

Oh and yes my teen is driving...she has her beginner's permit...and it's strange...some days she drives well and other days not so well...not sure why?

Enjoy your afternoon sis.

luv ya bunches

[Whisperingsprings]

had a good day. still exercising.

i usually adjust the meds and confess later.

i hate going to the doctor. i hate talking to the doctor. i'd rather not even write my doctor a note.

just being honest.

anywhoosie, have a great day tomorrow everyone.

big hugs,
whisp

[mlg]

awwww I just wonder if you have a good relationship with your doctor and if you trust your doctor....

It's important when you are prescibed meds to be able to express your concerns to your doctor and then accept his advice...otherwise might be time for a change of doctor?

Glad you had a good day sis. Been a bit wild for me this last day or so. Prayers are appreciated.

luv ya

[Whisperingsprings]

mlg,

prayers sent.

let me know when you need more or when the "ride of life" gets too wild. I understand that experience and will gladly pray.

off to work tonight.

hugs,
whisp

Hi everyone ,

mlg.

So how is everyone doing?

I've been silly, extremely mischievous, and occassionally the good girl. and all at work?!!!

I'm doing better sis...my spirit is picking up...still some stuff on my mind...but that's just the enemy trying to distract me.

Glad you are doing well and having fun...that's what God wants...us to enjoy life.
