my son's wish, via google...

p's been pretty low about his adhd these days. he's feeling like his meds aren't working, having a hard time at school (mostly socially), and isn't enjoying things like he used to. i have my own theories about what's going on, but p blames adhd 100%...and i don't blame him. i've never allowed him to use his disorder as an excuse. always taught him that even people who don't have adhd have to work hard to concentrate, get things done, and make new friends. but at 9, it just seems that he's having to work quite a bit harder than the norm. this morning, while logging onto the computer, i found a google result that broke my heart.

"how to get rid of adhd"

how, as his mother, do i fix this for him? why are we given so much love and compassion for our children, yet our hands are tied to fix things such as this for them? all i can do is make sure he knows how much i love him, and that i'll always be here to back him up...no matter what.

new year, new life

i start this year with a new job and a new outlook. still catching my breath from end-of-year drama, but this year is hopefully the beginning of some greatness for me and the fam : )

so first, new job. i'm now a pca on the postpartum unit and i'm LOVING it! the mommies, the babies...it's amazing. this is literally my dream job, and they've even given me my dream schedule!! i almost don't want to clock out at the end of my shifts, and i'm actually excited when i get to go back. it's never easy to be the new girl, but these ladies are pretty awesome : )

the kids are LOVING school, and succeeding at it as well. b is, well, b...but an improved b these days : ) and i...well, i plan on blogging alot more this year. seems to be a good way to get it all out. all for now, nothing creative to say for today. time to go snarf down some candy conversation hearts...mmm...food-gasm...
