35 days to go ( .... and boy! ... don't we know it!)
Today I was reminded of the bad times one year ago ... when we got back from Bali reeling from the experience ..... and then we had weeks of battling the anxiety ... not having any weapons in the arsenal.
Today has been bad too ... we're not sure why. It could be that she is still feeling sick with the wog .... or she may be struggling with the routine ..... or anxiety may be out of kilter from medication variation ... or she may just be a naughty seven year old .... or it may be any mix of the above! From minute to minute, we have struggled to understand what is happening and how to handle it. There have been a couple of time-out sessions .... leaving her bedroom a disaster area! At times she has flatly refused things which normally are her favorites.
We're left doubting ourselves, doubting what we're doing ......
Of course all this takes a toll on us .... we get pretty depressed about it .... so we've put a new rule in place today. Only one of us (out of the 4 adults) is allowed to be depressed at any one time! We have a "Depressed Badge" .... which you can only wear for 2 days at a time!
In addition, a certain majority of the household is allowed to wear something purple at certain times .... and then the oppressed minority (me) is not allowed to make puns or any other jokes!!! This is discrimination of an oppressed minority I say! Not Fair!
