So today I had like a million (okay maybe four or five) errands that HAD to be run today so not much was done on the homeschool front.  We did get a fun thing things thrown in though.  We managed to play a FULL game of sorry.  He didn't win and that hurt his feelings but I managed to throw in a little lesson about poor sportsman ship.  Just reminded him that he wouldn't want to play with someone that got really mad if they didn't win.  Guess I could have let him win.  Maybe next time i will.  We did a fun little art project inspired by an ARTHRITIS AD.  lol  I know sounds funny.  But it was cute.  Here I'll even post a pic of what I am talking about. 

I just cut and pasted them all together.  I haven't shown him the finished copy yet.  But I think he will like it. 

Tomorrow we do some real work.

We had a counselor appointment today and after a few rough starts, I have realized a few things.  He has ADHD.  There is no quick cure.  There is no special way to make it managable.   Apparantly it is a lifestyle change.  Just when I think I have a little parenting expertise.. life shows me I know NOTHING.  I wish parenting were easy.  God don't I wish that.  OR at least there were answers to questions.  There really isn't an answer to most things.  Nor is anything really easy. 

You ever look at pictures or hear stories of people who everything seems normal or it just seems to be working out for them in everything???  Example.. I have a cousin who is a couple years younger than me.. Beautiful vietnamese girl a couple years younger than me.  Does modeling and did her first movie.   I have another cousin beautiful blond hair blue eyes just got married and has it good.  Makes you sit and wonder what the hell just happened.  Did the good stuff just run out and here I came?? 

I know.  Not something to sit and dwell. My challenge in life is these three wonderful loving children who call me mommy and sneak in my bed when I'm not looking.  My challenge is to help them grow up to be great, smart, happy people.  God, I hope I can do that.  I think some times that it is too much and I'm not sure i can make all the right decisions.  Homeschooling is the same. 

Well that was a nice uplifting post huh.

Does anyone read these?  lol  I bet I am a bit on the too personal side.

Much love
