I'm sorry, Matt.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm so sorry, Matt.

Congratulations Lisah & ChicagoBob!
And seriously, football, all last minute craziness all the time. Go Browns! And I cannot believe you guys at the end there, Dana. Just nutty.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I "watched" the last ten minutes through the NFL's website, and I'm as stressed as if I'd watched the whole game.
Now if Tampa Bay can somehow have a miraculous game...

We actually got to see the end of yours, Dana, and it was super stressful, probably on both sides.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Mac is such a mish-mash of letting people walk all over him and then being a bully. He was letting the boy down the street ride his brand new bike every time they played. Today I told him that I did not want to see anyone on his bike but him. They boys were just having a little fuss and I discover that mac had made "rules" for bike riding. The rule? You had riding order and had to stay in that order OR switch bikes, but mac can't switch, so just the other two. ANd guess who was #1 in the front for the bike riding. So he chose when to turn, how fast to go, blah blah blah. I firmly stated that the only rules of bike riding were to watch for cars and be safe.

Compassionately intolerant
Matt, much peace to you and yours.
msbelle, 'rule making' always fascinates me with kids. Testing influence and boundaries and simply how the world works. Such an amazing process to watch.
Update: I'm pleased to announce that the mom of the boy with adhd has taken him off my schedule. She says she has found a specialist (who takes insurance as I do not) and I could not be more thrilled/relieved.
She will certainly be challenged and I hope it gives her what she needs.
This comes at the same time one of my other kids 'graduated' with flying colors. Just 3 months after starting our work on some pretty severe social, scholastic and self-worth issues, she is totally okay! It was the greatest joy to watch her progress and to see her share the things she learned with her peers.
Perfect outcomes on both.

My condolences to you and your family, Matt.
