[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 303282, member: 3444"] Thanks for the understanding words :) It's so nice that you all understand what life is like with kids like these... most others I know would just shake their heads and look incredulous. The light of a new day is upon us and everyone is remorseful for their behavior and trying hard to do better. difficult child 1 even put his Daytrana patch on without my asking (of course, that was 20 minutes after he'd already had his Focalin) because he said he wanted to have a good day today! :faint: He's not getting much for his birthday this year because of our financial situation. husband and I gave him $20, and difficult child 2 and easy child gave him an Iron Man t-shirt I bought on clearance a while back and a pair of belts that were also on clearance. Our Disney passes we got last year (when we were living large on a healthy paycheck) are good today, and if I bring a copy of difficult child 1's birth certificate, they will give him either a free ticket to the park good for any time in the next year, OR a Disney gift card of equivalent value. So that's where we're going today. Fingers crossed they ALL behave and that this will be a fun and memorable day for difficult child 1. Tomorrow he starts high school! [/QUOTE]
