OUR LIL ORPHAN
Last Tuesday was a court hearing for Lil Bit, our 13-month-old foster boy. I was out-of-town and so my hubby was there when the judge terminated the birthmother’s parental rights. Our foster baby is now officially half an orphan! I say that since the birthfather has not been located. The State is working with the Mexican consulate to make a good faith effort to locate him. Until then…
MOOD SWINGS
If you follow my blog, our 3-year-old Stinkpot’s strong will has been an incredible challenge for us. Last week was horrible! Again! Temper tantrums, mood swings, and general meanness has made us worry about him. Stinkpot’s birthfamily has a history of mental instability, and we have been seriously discussing taking him to a child psychologist for counseling, not just for him, but for us, in order to deal with him.
However, on Friday, when I went for my annual physical exam, my doctor asked me if I was having any depression or mood swings from Singulair. (“I’m too busy with kids to even think of being depressed” was my reply.)
Since Stinkpot has been taking Singular for his asthma for nearly 2 years now – maybe Singulair could be his issue???
I have a call into his doctor to discuss it!!!
HALLOWEEN
Can you believe it’s less than 4 weeks away? Have you already begun the quest for the perfect Halloween costume for you and your kids? Isn’t this just the cutest costume for less than $10?
Have a great week!
