Tics, Tics, and More Tics...
well thankfuly no new ones! But lots and lots of the old ones and I am just bracing myself for any new developments. Riley told me yesterday that he works hard every day to supress his tics in class because one kid said his “eeking” was getting annoying. Sigh. Tomorrow is his appointment with the psychologist and I am not looking forward to that one.
Whew...
So tomorrow is the kids 4th day of school. Well, Wendall’s 3rd day since we had an issue enrolling him. Apparently his school would not accept what the other two childrens’ schools had accepted so we had to obtain special permission from the Superintendent. When Wendall’s secretary told me that still wouldnt work, I about died. Well, something in my eye must have motivated her...
New Developments...
I was certain this week was going to be a very hectic week. Not only did I have to get Wendall from OKC, but I had to get all three kids enrolled in a new school. And that is just the tip of the iceberg…I still had to worry about going to apply for medical assistance and getting myself prepared for school. Oh and I couldnt shake this fear of Riley’s new teacher not being patient or...

I had a very exhausting day yesterday. Where one child told me she hated me, another smothered me with his love. I had chores to do and I still need to go school supply shopping. Oh, and I have to get the kids...
Yep...
it’s a new tic. At first, he shook his head side from side only a few times the first day. Today is a different story. Not only is he “eeking” every few minutes, but now every few eeks is accompanied by his head shake. And I am finally noticing the arm jerk that Angie has noticed for a little while now. Right now, Riley is in his bedroom so he can play on his playstation. He...

New Day, New Tic ?
So Riley had an appointment on Tuesday the 27th to check in with his psychiatrist. The day started out peaceful enough, considering where we were headed. However, once on the highway, I noticed white smoke at the back of my car but dismissed it because it disappeared a few seconds later (I really wish I had started writing a few months back, when my car really put on one hell-uva...
Im not sure...
how all of this works. Blogging, that is. All I know is that right now I am typing and it feels great. Here it is 11:10 pm and I am laying on my bed, two hands on the keyboard and both ears cocked towards the door. I announced to my kids yesterday that today is the beggining of “school” routine. Tonight I am eating my words. After giving in to my urge for a “quick walk...
