[QUOTE="jbckp5, post: 214826, member: 6364"] A little more about me and my family. I have a a 9 year old daughter who has the most nurturing and loving personality. Along with my difficult child 8 yr old son I also have a 6 year old little boy. He is my active sports minded child. His days are all about being involved in some sort of sport related activity. I am married to thier dad and in the past year or so our marriage has gotten rocky but we are still on the same page about our kids....for the most part anyway :)! I also had the extreme pleasure to carry twins for a couple that was unable to have children on thier own. We have a small zoo at our house. I am a receptionist/Vet tech assistant so all of us are total animal lovers. We have a bloodhound mix named Doyle, an adult cat named Tigger and a kitten named Sushi, two parakeets named Dagger and Spike, and a pet rat named Hutch. We did finally seek a psychological evaluation on our own when the school psychologist said that there was nothing wrong with my son. I am in the process of getting a MH/MR caseworker so that we can have a facilitator for the school. They had our difficult child go to "saturday school" today and by the grace of some higher power the teacher was one of the special education teachers. He wound up having some issues and we had to pick him up early.
