I ended up in bed before 9 last night. That NEVER happens. I was just so done by the time I got K in bed, I didn't feel like doing anything else. It made me wake up at 3:30 and stay awake till almost 6am, and just as I decided if I couldn't fall asleep in the next 5 mins, that I'd get up, I looked back over and the clock turned to 7am. So it must have worked. haha.
Shortly after that, I heard noise in K's room. The dog had tried to get me to get up around 6 because she thinks she's starving when she sees light outside. I normally don't feed her till around 7:30 or 8 and she knows that. She still tries though as soon as she sees someone is awake. So since I told her to go lay down, she snuck into K's room and wet nosed him awake. He proceeded to baby her and "read" her a book. As soon as she saw me sitting up, I got pounced and the begging for breakfast started. It's been a pretty good morning so far.
I was told by a few people that flaxseed is really good for you, and something I read recently said that for children with behavior problems, it can do a lot as well. I finally bought some and snuck it into pancakes this morning. He had no clue and said they were the best pancakes ever. I think I may be onto something. I noticed a little difference but it wasn't that bad. They were also whole wheat pancakes instead so that could be it. I've also started watching much closer about the artificial dyes in foods and limiting those. The red's really trigger craziness.
And I know I sound like I'm totally giving up, but I've been really thinking a lot about the adoption idea lately. I found a few numbers for sort of local places that I could get more info, and I'm thinking of calling. At least to get some info and to see what all we're looking at for that adventure. I find myself thinking of it a lot lately and I think it could really work for us. I honestly like that idea of that than going on with a few more years of treatments and hormonal torture.
For today though, I'm going to get some work done around the house, then we're heading out because minus a trip to the post office yesterday, we've been at home not doing anything fun and in a sorta depressing state of mind. Time to snap out of it and enjoy a nice day. I feel a little better today.
Don't feel like adoption is giving up. I think knowing your options is good, even if you are not ready to pursue that yet.
ReplyDeleteYay for flax! It's not the tastiest, so I don't know how K will respond if you keep sneaking it in, but as an adult, I'll gladly eat it for the benefits.
One of my coworkers has a kid that is allergic to artificial colors. No one believes her when she tells them, but he has some pretty severe behavior issues if he eats anything with art. colors. She's gotten his school cafeteria ladies to understand and whenever they make foods with dyes, they will make a little section for him that is without. But I will tell you that her son has asperger's and only had a 2 vessel cord in the womb so he has that working against him too.
