okay, now I stole one from Sam

I like being a mermaid.

You Are a Mermaid


You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are.
While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need.
Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational.
You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.

Random thoughts

Actually this should just be random things going on.

First off my cat Kali went in for a teeth cleaning and came home with a diagnoses of having an autoimmune disease. It effects the mouth. It's treatable though. Maintaining her overall health shouldn't be a problem with regular care, but chances are good her two daughters have it also. We're going to be taking lots of meds again. I thought we were done with that when we lost Keekee, but I guess not. Have you ever chased three cats around your house trying to give them antibiotics. It is so much fun.

The biggie though is changing the cat food they eat. Of course, it is way more expensive than the expensive brand I was already buying. figures. The cats like it so I guess that's a good thing.

Next on the list is that "Noodle" started Aderall this week. It took her a couple of days to get used to it, but I think she's adjusting.

We went to my son's school for "family literacy day" yesterday (yes, they really did this on a Saturday). My husband kept complaining about who in there right mind would schedule this during football. UMMMM, people who don't watch football. We had fun and got to watch the son read poems he had written and be in a skit with his classmates. He did great.

MY HIP HURTS. DAMMIT. I have been in pain for the past few days and I'm not sure why. I must have done something to it, but I don't know what I did. I took some hydrocodone last night and it didn't do a darned thing. It worked great when I broke my foot. If you hear me cussing under my breath that's what is driving me nuts.

Noodle and I went and checked out the fancy new shopping center they just built here. All high end stores with a movie theater geared for adults. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything, but I did anyway. Not all the stores were open yet and I'm in trouble when they open the rest. There is a beautiful carousel to ride on so Noodle and went for a spin. You can also rent paddle boats to ride in or take a gondola ride.

Noodle was wondering why I didn't use the valet parking area, but it's hard to explain to a five year old that I didn't want to spend the money for someone else to park my car, especially when it was a heck of lot closer to the buildings than regular parking. When the goddesses are here though we should go see a movie at the new theater. It is the first for the company that formed to build them and it has a real restaurant (no nachos). Then you watch the movie in large leather chairs and drink wine while you enjoy the movie. I'm itching to try this place out. Any takers?

I stole this from Biscuit

I saw this on Biscuit's blog and thought I'd try it. I had feeling I was pretty cluttered.

Your Mind is 75% Cluttered

Your mind is quite cluttered. And like most clutter, it's a bunch of crap you don't need.
Try writing down your worst problems and fears. And then put them out of your mind for a while.

Noodles updat

I didn't realize so much time had passed. Well, here is an update for you. Noodle is ADHD. Okay, not a surprise here. We got the final analysis today. My husband figures we spent $1000 to find out what we already knew. Not a surprise there either. I learned some new techniques for behaviour and reviewed one we used to use with our son.
The Dr. feels we should try a 30 day trial of meds, but my husband doesn't want to. He wants to wait until she's older before giving them to her. (He did agree to think about it though) I want to go ahead and give it a try. I feel like she is unfairly treated for not being able to sit still, and I don't think another Day Care is going to make a difference there. Her teachers aren't the best. The teachers she currently has cannot handle a child who challenges them in any way. One of the teachers wrote a note in her daily bahaviour book about Noodle spilling her milk. Not a big deal right. Nope, she treated her as if she had done somthing wrong. I about blew my stack.
How do I know what to do next? I'm really not sure.
