There isn't a dollar tree in OV but a couple are located in out laying towns. I do have a 99 cent store a couple miles away. I was going to ask Jay to take me out shopping this weeking, but I just don't want to ask him for anything anymore. However on a brighter note my mom is coming into town on the 17th and leaving her car with me for a week as she spends time with her hubby. It works out perfect because by then I am expecting a couple checks from parents and I can cash in the change. Things always have a way of working out. |

OK. I need help taking care of these kids. HELP. Dustin has me so frustrated right now. A perfect example with his highs and lows. He arrived home from work a little less then an hour ago and he is in a mood. I can't do this by myself. He won't talk to me, all he wants to do is stay in his room with his head covered with all the lights off. I give him his space but with his past history, I am afraid to leave him on his own during these mood swings. He has me so upset right now. He was in such a great mood yesterday, it was very nice and calm. I honestly can't take it anymore. I so want him to be balanced again. Geesh at times like this I feel like such a failure as a mom. All I want is the best for my kids. What did I do wrong!! Edited by Cabann, May 9 2008, 10:43 PM.

Cindy, you ARE a good mom. If you were a bad mom you would just let Dustin hole up in his room. Do you have an appointment with his therapist yet? Sounds like he needs an adjustment in his meds and soon. |

He saw his therapist last week but hasn't been back to see his psychiatrist ( he is the one to change his meds) for a long while. I was up with him half the night trying to get him to open up. The situation that set him off wasn't really a big deal and after talking with him he finally had seen it but he is still in his dark mood. He wants to stay in hs room. He worries me when he gets like this. These highs and lows are amazing. I know with everything going on with school, all the test, senior projects, senior boards, he has a lot of pressure on him. The older he gets the more pressure he is going to have. That scares me. This weekend is his dads'. Even though tomorrow is Mothers Day, I am really hoping he goes to his dads. I need a break from him. When I feel that way I feel like a terrible mom. He needs me and he wont get the suport from his dad that I give him or the patience. My patience is running thin and with problems going on with Jay and I, I am really starting to loose it myself.

You need some me time. Just keep telling yourself that once Dustin graduates he will have some down time with summer here. One day at a time. When I am having a tough time I tell myself that over and over and over. |

He didn't leave to go to his dad's until Sat. evening. When he arrived he called me and didn't want me to get off the phone with him. He kept asking, can't you just stay on the line. He was much better this morning, got up, went to school and he has work afterwards so he will be busy today. Then to make matters worse one of the younger kids came down with strep throat and has been very sick these past couple days. Antibiotics were started today so hopefully they kick in and he starts feeling better. I have had very little sleep these past 3 nights and I am extremely tired, so much so that I feel nauseated. Some me time is sounding very good right about now.

Steven is feeling better today. Thank goodness, but he missed school again today. I wanted him to get some extra rest because he has two band performances this week (one being the parade) and one next. Plus keeping him home gives him more time to work on his poster for his Mississippi oral report. As for Dustin's party I have the menu pretty much planned out but need some cute decorating ideas..inside and out. Anyone have any ideas. |

Drats...I wish I could send him the Mississippi postcards I got him so he could use them on his poster. I CAN'T FIND THEM! I have turned this house upside down and have no clue what I did with them. Glad to hear he's feeling better. As for the party...I'd stick with school colors/graduation type stuff for decorations. |
