Today

Ok, I will post a bit about me and the family since some are getting to know me here.

Brian and I have been married 8 years this July (28th). We have three kids: Austin is 5, Kyle is 3 and Catilyn will be 2 on march 13th. We have had our ups and downs. Brian made some mistakes that just about cost our marriage but I hung in there "For better or worse" even though some including some in my family disagreed with my decision. 

I have a BS degree in Community Health and went back to get RN however I failed two classes thus I was kicked out of the school. I perserved and challenged the state board and got my LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). I now work in a  gero-psych ward (Dementia/Altzemier's, etc) at the local hospital. I hope to one day (next year I hope) to go get my RN.  

We recently found out from the local psycriatist that Kyle has "Soft" signs of Aspergers. We started him in October at the Community School that has therapists on hand to assist children with disabilities. Austin goes to the local public school. The school that he had gone to for Pre-K (ABC) closed the doors after a drop in enrollment and the school officials closing the school due to budget issues. The school had been up for consildation after he started his first year (2006) and it was determined that a school that was in the same county and 30 min drive from us was better than the school in neigbhoring county and a 5-10 min drive from us. Austin was born with VSD (Ventricluar septum defect- a hole between his ventricles in his heart). He has speech problems so he has been getting speech therapy for three years now.

Ok, we will see if this works.

I am going to try this again and see what happens.

Austin is sick with a respiratory infection (Viral) at the moment. I have been trying to get my husband to watch Fireproof with me. I rented and then gave up after nearly a week of having it and not watching it then went and bought it so I could share it with family and friends. Now he is getting sick and goes to bed early.

 Kyle is doing much better than that he is on this new medicine that makes him sleep. Still has melt downs but not as bad or frequent. I called in work tomorrow since Austin is sick. I still need to get Catilyn's invites out and get ready for her party. 

I am thinking about having Austin go the Christian school at Church this next school year. However I am not sure how Speech therapy will be done if he does that. Kyle will stay at Community School as long as he can. Brian's concern is getting one in and then not affording the three of them and them saying why did he get to and we didn't. Yes, I know I am ramblying but at the moment my mind is going and going. I am hoping I can get some sleep tonight. I seriously need to see what it takes with my insurance to get to a see a psycatrist for myself. I would see the one that Kyle is seeing right now and he works at MY HOSPTIAL (WCMC Logo). 

I am so proud of myself. All though Ihave felt like crap today I have managed to get laundry just about done and dishes just about done. The boys bedroom is picked up and swept. Now I guess tomorrow I will clean off bar and get out checkbook since it is almost payday again and see what I can down medical bills wise. Also need to see about getting to dentist and eye doctor and chiropractor for sure. 

Ok, guess I will stop here. I have already read my two chapters in Revelations tongith and still need to do my prayer time before I got to bed.
