I could eat it with a spoon, except I am sure there is a warning label!

This is Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day products.

They are wonderful and I can not say enough about the scent!!

This one is Lemon Verbena(like the perfume that Miss Beadle wore on Little House on the Prairie).

Dear Complete Stranger Lady

Dear Complete Stranger Lady,

I recognize in the world we live in that sometimes parents do not do right by their children. Sometimes, kids are allowed to wander the neighborhood and ride bikes in the street without regard for their safety, or the cars around them.

However, that being said, if you feel it necessary to call the police on my children again, please do me the favor of making sure they are my kids!!!! Those kids do not belong to me. They are not mine- now or ever!!

Thank you for the excitement though...we enjoyed it immensely.


PS...Mine are usually the naked kids...that's how you can "tell us apart".

Alphabet Soup

Today I met with the Educational Psychologist.

We have more diagnoses.

I really wonder just how many different diagnoses one child is legally allowed to have!?

I think we might be approaching that limit. And if there isn't one, there sure should be. :O)

I like to think that the new diagnoses don't change anything. 

It is just hard to see those scores in black and white like that. I felt kind of like I got the wind knocked out of me.

I just hate to tell him..and really, I don't think I will. Scout and I know and that is enough for now. 

I don't really see how any good can come of it right now.

A few weeks ago he told me he was tired of all the things he had and hoped there wasn't anything else.

 Well, there are..there are about 3 more things.

He just needs to know that he is loved and accepted and that everyone is fighting some kind of battle...everyone.

And that he is a 'Can Do Kid'!!

He is my Alphabet Soup kid. 

I have always loved Alphabet Soup...

.........especially the kind with the little meatballs!!
