Ask anyone.  I have a very strong belief that Ritalin is over prescribed, that a lot of kids who are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD are just active, and our overworked teachers can't spend the time that they need with those kids.  Don't even get me started on the parents who don't make the effort and ask for the drugs.

This, though, this article is about Ritalin being the last resort and it working.  Kudos to this mom for being such a wonderful advocate for her son.

"Honey, you have to get up, I set the alarm later!"

"What???  No!  I'm not getting up!"

"You have to go to work!  Get up!"

"Oh.  I thought it was Sunday."

I have a good friend in Texas who may be affected by this newest storm.  I'm just thinking that all of you praying folk out there maybe should start praying for all these people being hit by the storm, all the people hit by the last storm and now hit by this storm, and maybe we should be praying that we can help in any way we can.

Let's get those hotlines to God humming, shall we?

... is having two extra kids, and having your own be the worst of the lot.

Right now there are two two year olds, and two three year olds running amok in my house.

It's too bad I'm not a drinking woman, because now is certainly the time to be one!

If I don't blog again in a week or so, please send reinforcements.

If my head hurts because I only had doritos and chocolate chip cookies for lunch?
