I haven't gone AWOL, Just a Little Crazy

You know, every year I look so forward to my kids getting out of school.  I can't wait to have them home, spend more time with them, not worry about a schedule. 

And then it never fails...every year, mid-July, I am ready for school to start back up!  Don't get me wrong, I love my guys more than anything and I love having them home but honestly, we function so much better on a schedule and there is such a thing as too much togetherness I am afraid.  They fight like crazy and get on my nerves.  So I have one and a half more weeks and then things can be back to normal again. 

Let's see, it's been a while since I updated, so here's the latest.  I haven't lost much weight since school was out (see above:  no schedule!) but I have managed to get down to 30 pounds total lost since March.  I am pretty proud of that and the best news is I haven't gained.  I've been having some issues with swelling in my legs though so I have been going to the doc to figure out what the heck my prob is besides that I am fat and getting old.  :)  So far they have ruled out blood clot but I go back in next week for some blood work.  The doc did give me some water pills and I'm here to tell you - don't take them if you are going to the movies!  LOL

I took Danger Boy off his ADHD meds because he had a big meltdown and totally lost his temper.  It was NOT pretty.  So I talked to the doc and he has switched him to Strattera.  We are on day 3 and so far, so good.  His dosage goes up tonight so we'll see how that goes.  But I haven't seen ANY of the negative side-effects he experienced on the stimulants so that is a win in my book.  I can't really tell much about his focus and concentration yet though.  The real test for that will be school starting up!

Phone Guy has been working non-stop, which is great!  He's gotten a couple of pretty big contracts so I know the house payment will be paid for the next couple of months at least.  ;)

And that's about it for our summer.  Hope your summer has been great too!  :)
