Evie, Braden, Cory, Amber, Me, and Bringing Laughter
Guess who got to go on a field
trip with school?
Evie got to get a pumpkin.
She is just too adorable.
At five this girl is looking so grown.
A few months back this little girl
had a lot going on in her life,
starting of kindergarten was coming
up, mom and dad got engaged, they
all three moved in together, and
then Evie found out that she
was going to be a big sister.
With all that, at the same time, due
to the events or not, she started
acting out. She was saying if mom
had a girl she was going to
be mean to it, which bothered
us all. She started hitting and
really talking back.
Taking this info to the doc, they
learned that children with the
issues Evie lives with causes
outburst and anxiety. But, in the last month
or so, things have gotten better,
with a med added to her daily
routine. I hate that we are a world
of MEDS but this little girl
would never make it through
school without it.
With that said, my youngest grandson,
Braden,
he is on meds to get him through
school each day. When I pick him up some
days after school, I so dislike the boy he is,
he is so quiet, you can't even get a smile
from him. Its like there is nothing there.
I hate how the meds do him,
but without them, he is so wild and
bouncing off the walls. It is hard to
be around him at time when he
is off the meds too.
I have dealt with all this for years,
my son Cory was like Braden.
Cory, without meds, you literally
had to tie him down, he was climbing,
jumping, busting in on all conversations,
rolling, basically bouncing all
over. We had to do meds for him
also. As an adult, Cory deals,
easy for him but that is partly
why Cory is so out going,
so entertaining, and why
when he crashes, he
CRASHES.
But he has anxiety attacks
from time to time.
I wonder if that is heredity?
I have them, and Amber has them
also. By the way, the pic of Cory
as a child, head wrapped up was
what happens when a child walks
in front of someone
swinging a bat to hit a ball.
Anyway, to give Braden a break,
he is not on meds on
the weekends, holidays, summer
breaks or just days off from
school. According to the doc,
it's okay to do that.
It's a shame that the world has
to depend on meds to get by,
but ADHD and Anxiety is no
different then heart issues,
or diabetes. And with Evie,
she has CP from the stroke she
had during delivery.
Me~
my issues stem from my
creatively trying to work its
way out!!
haha
That is going to be my
story from here on out and
YES,
I will be sticking to that!!!
Now, a few weeks ago, I
was so down and it seemed
I was falling fast and far.
I was dealing with a long drawn
out process of recovering
from surgery. I felt I was not
healing as fast as I should
and I did not feel like my thoughts
and feelings were getting across
to the docs.
To be honest, and maybe this
is maybe way to much info
to post about,
BUT, it was all stemming
from bladder spasms and not
being able to have control of my
bladder. I literally spent over
750 bucks from May to the
first of Oct on absorbent
panties (aka my diapers)...
In the beginning before the
issue was found, being the stones,
I tried to cont my life as I do.
But finally, I felt so bad and I
just did not like going out
wearing those things, and
I was dragging the ground.
THANK GOODNESS~
I finally feel good again.
Still in question of what to do
about the two stones I carry,
but I feel
BETTER!
How do I get through those days,
LAUGH!
If something is bothering
you today,
LAUGH!

Sometimes (although not ideal) medication is necessary.
