Well, there is a bunch I need to apologize for. For one thing, I have been way overwhelmed and have not been blogging. I think it was the 3rd kid, moving yet again, hubbies hectic work schedule, N starting school and G just being 2.
The people I need to really apologize to are my kids and hubby. Sorry I didn't do something sooner. (I also have to apologize to several people that I demonized that same medication to...)
You see I have ADHD. Always have, but I have been unmediated for oh... 10+ years. I was resistant to getting back on medication. I saw it as a slap in the face that I wasn't good enough the way God made me, I disliked the transition time while it was taking effect but not quite there yet and the coming off of it, and I felt I could self medicate with coffee. Well, the truth is NONE of us are "good" enough the way God made us or we wouldn't need salvation, I can live with the transitions for the good of my family, and coffee, though nice, wasn't really cutting it. So now I am back on it. It is amazing how much clarity I have. I had forgotten. I can actually not be distracted to the point of insanity, which means actually getting a load of dished done before the kids go to bed.
Now it isn't a bed of roses either. I am reaping what I sowed before I was medicated, but those issues are easier to deal with now.
So like I said, sorry little ones and my loving and oh so patient hubby. I should have done this a long time ago.

Crazyness.
Ok, first I would like to apologize to my contest winner. I mailed it out... and it came back to me... don't know why, but I will be mailing it out again soon (like with x-mas gifts) so you will get it. I have no clue what happened. Weirdness?
The last month has been really busy. Papa (my dad) came to for 2 weeks. The kids see him as a big toy. N loves him so much and keeps asking when she will see him again. G didn't really know him before and wants to go on a plane ride with him (N got to visit this summer... he thinks it is his turn...). J didn't know what to think of him. He was just getting used to him when the 2 weeks were up and it was time to go.
Now for the family update:
J is sitting and FINALLY gaining weight. We got him on Zantac about 4 weeks ago and since then we know he has gained at least 2 pounds (that was 2 weeks after starting the meds). That takes him as a 12.6 pound baby at 7 months to 14.8 + pounds now at 8 months. Talk about major gains!
G had a major face plant and almost lost 4 teeth. Yea. We had to have x-rays and other fun stuff but he was a trooper and only cried when I freaked out at the amount of blood (I was more scares over the fact that I couldn't FIND his teeth with the amount of blood he was loosing). So he had no solid food for 7 or 8 days. it was fine I just fed him what the baby was eating. He is better now but his teeth are no longer straight.
N is liking school. She loves her teacher and chocolate milk. She is really looking forward to x-mas and wants her grandpa to come back. She has been kinda mopey since he left.
