I wanted to see what everyone is doing for National Scrapbooking Day tomorrow, Saturday? I know I'll be hanging out at Two Peas all day (not like that's anything new!!) - well, at least I'll be there as much as my hubby will let me. He gets upset when I'm online a lot, but I told him tomorrow is NSD and I want to hang out and see what's going on. Lots of fun stuff going on over there and it should be fun.
What are you doing? Any good sales you can share? Any other fun things going on anywhere? Share!!
I really want to get some scrapbooking done tomorrow. I've had a bunch of stuff to do for Making Memories and I just want to dig in and play with some things tomorrow. Plus, I've got to do the 3 Product Challenge layout for Monday. Sorry we didn't get one posted this week - we will get back on schedule - things were just crazy for Amy and I this week. Thanks to all of you that asked and are participating - it's so fun to see all your creations! Love it!
I have some stuff that is heavy on my mind right now....we were up with Madi for an hour last night while she had a horrible fit - nightmare type thing. They are soooo hard to deal with and I just feel so helpless. The weird thing, is that we had one 2 nights ago too - that one lasted 2 hours. Yesterday, we had it and went to the psychiatrist (sp?) and got the paperwork to get into him. I've been filling it out all day - it's like a stack 1/2" thick and just questions after questions.
Madi has progressed so well with her Autism. I know that it was her early-intervention that really helped her. I think now she is more suffering from Anxiety/Fear - which is something the Dr. said she had a lot of when he diagnosed her. About a month ago, I was watching her and it's like Heavenly Father tapped me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear what I needed to hear. I had never seen so many of her problems as 'anxiety' before then - and now - Ryan and I have really been watching her behaviour and everything is anxiety based. So, I want to talk to the Dr. about the options we have - what possible medicines would help her with it. (Please no bashing or anything about this....please!) I just feel like it's our last resort.
My sis in NYC has a neighbor with a boy with Aspergers and they have him on medicine for his Anxiety/fear and she said it has changed him and made it so much better. I just want that for Madi...I want her to not fear everything and stress about every little thing. I have anxiety, my mom has anxiety, so I know it's in the blood... and I don't want her to have to suffer at such a young age with all of that. So, I hope to get into the Dr. soon and get some answers and options. We are getting desperate - desperate!!
Anyway, long week - long nights with Madi and I am tired! So tired and so worn out. Ryan called yesterday and said, "Hun, why don't you call somewhere and go get a massage and a pedicure to help you relax a bit. You deserve it." It was so nice! He has been so supportive and sweet this week - I just love him so much! I don't know if I'll actually call anywhere - but it's so sweet of him. We'll see.
Thanks for reading/listening to all of that. It's just heavy on my heart right now.
Let me know what you'll all doing tomorrow - shopping - or whatever! Fun day! Hugs!
