A Lazy Saturday

Boy that sounds like I'm laying around, eating bon bons and watching re-runs of Oprah.....but in my reality it means I'm doing laundry at my own pace and filling in the gaps with Facebook!

Not much going on around here. Last week I had the stomach flu and Alex managed a sinus/eye infection combo. We're both on the mend now. My dad also landed in the hospital and required two stents! He's doing fine now, btw.

Next week we meet with a psychologist regarding Alex's behavior (we have to meet with him first, before we see a psychiatrist). It has gone downhill again and has become a PITA for us. As much as I don't want to medicate him anymore, it's obvious he cannot be without something. He is so impulsive, distruptive and down right defiant. School complains, daycare complains and we complain. We can't go anywhere as a family because his behavior is so bad, it's not worth the aggrevation and nasty stares we get. I'm tired of being a prisoner of my own home, where Alex's behavior isn't much better, but at least we can put him to bed without strangers staring at us with distain.

Tonight is Parent's Night Out with our DS Parent's group. Looking forward to it. They provide sitting so we can enjoy adult time. We sure need it! I do pity the sitters though (see above paragraph) but if they keep him playing, he'll be fine.
