Thanks for the encouragement. We started the diet and even husband has bought in! HE went to Subway and instead of cheating (which he is prone to do), he went the salad oil/vinegar route! Yeah!
We will sit back and see what happens.....
:sad:
In another story... HORRIBLE morning with Tab. SHe refused to go to school. I got her out the door so we could at least get big brother there on time, and had her go into the office with me. Her teacher just left on maternity leave, so I know that is upsetting her. She cried and clung to me. I asked for the counselor to come help because her teacher was gone, there was a sub and I didn't want to leave her screaming with someone she didn't know.
Basically, the counselor made me feel like dirt. She's like, "It's best if you just insist that she stay here and then leave." When I explained that her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety-related issue, and I wasn't comfortable just doing that she treated me like a weak mother who couldn't say no to her child. then she was like "Well, what do you think makes her anxious?" I was like, oh, I dont know - LIFE, the size of the neck hole in her shirt?, the fact that we uesd corn torillas instead of flour for our BREAKFAST TACOS?!?!?!?!?!!
:grrr:
She really has no idea what to do with this. She is treating her like a spoiled little girl who just wants her mommy. Tab has been going without major incident for a couple of months now until just after Christmas break. She was out a couple of extra days with Strep, and now it's like she's totally regressed. We are going to both her doctor and her therapist tomorrow morning, so we will see what they say. She's still so young - we are considering pulling her out and waiting for her to start kinder next school year with her little brother.
I haven't cried all the way home in a long time, but I am a wreck today. I feel like no one cares or listens at this school and I don't think I can handle 5 more years of this!
