A great find for winter!

Yesterday I took my family on a winter coat hunt for my oldest daughter. Which I would like to point out there are NO coats in junior sizes. We found really thick sweat shirts and vest. I live in Ohio we have cold winters and need something that is going to keep the kidos warm! Along our journey I did find a great find for my son who did not need a coat, but it was a great deal. I could not pass it up.
I got it from Elder-Beerman's for $21. 27 that's with tax.
The brand is London Fog. I don't know if that's a great brand not a great big brand name person.

What the Hell!

The other day I had to take my oldest daughter into our family doctor for one of those illness that's going around, thank God it was a cold. While I was in there I had brought my other daughter progress report with me. I wanted to give the doctor a bit more proof that I think something else is going on with her. It showed him that that a average test score for Chloe was a D. He told me to let her counselor figure out if it is the fact that she is AD/HD or has she just gave up on life because of her illness! She 9! Playing and her friends mean the world to her. She does not sit around and is not depressed! Why do some doctor's have to be so stupid. This is a child I see everyday, I have done a lot of reading about AD/HD and she fits it. I don't think I want her put on meds plus so far she can't have them. They raise the blood pressure. I just need to get to the bottom of this so the school and I can better help her be who I know she is deep down inside.

N1H1 Vaccine what do you think

Something that has been weighing on my mind should I or shouldn't I let my children be vaccinated for N1H1.
I am type of person that gets the routine baby shots and I have gotten my kids the flu shot. The swine flu on the other hand I really don't know much at all.
I am thinking of this for all my kids, but my younger daughter Chloe has Ehlers-Danlos vascular type. So I worry if people with vascular issues should have this or not.

I would like to know everyone's pros and con on this vaccine.
I have found these sites helpful.

Shhhhhh I can hear myself think Plus ADD/ADHD

Ohh the title really says it all!
Yesterday Dustin went back to school! So twice a week I am alone for 3 hours. The dogs are sleeping and it is so peaceful here. There are no cartoons in the background and no one asking me to get off the computer! Oh but I know later on everyone will be back home and I will look forward to next Monday.

On another note I have spent most of the morning reading about ADD/ADHD. My daughter has been going to a counselor, for her behavior. This is the same daughter that has Ehlers-Danlos. I am thinking that her behavior trouble started when she was 3 and over the years it has gotten so bad. At school the only complaints they have is that she is a daydreamer and just don't want to try at her school work. Here at home wow she's a handful! She is not hyper very moody. The school, her doctor and the counselor all have blamed her illness and the death of her dad. Every time they say that it makes me so mad. I know that her being sick and her dad being gone has to be tough on her, but I always tell them Chloe was 3 when her dad died and soon after we found out that she had EDS. If she was older when all this took place I too would have blamed both of those things, but as far has she can remember back the life she has now is all she's ever known. If anyone would come across this post and knows anything about ADD I would love your input. I would like to learn what it is like to live with a child that has ADD. I have asked for the testing to be done to see if it is ADD but they seem to be taking there good ole time about doing it, in the mean time my child suffers. In the 1st grade the school did the test on Chloe, and thought ADD but no one could tell me for sure. So here we are in the 4th grade now and nothing has been accomplished. Its so frustrating!

Just sit still!

This weekend I had my cousin take my kids pictures. It was so hard trying to get all 3 of them to just stay! But she did get some great pictures of the kids.
