[QUOTE="ksm, post: 463828, member: 12511"] Now that I think about it, she seems worse when it is a do nothing day. She is always "bored". Dreams up wild things she wants to do and then gets mad when I put on the brakes. Like, can we go ice skating (70 miles away)?? Can we go out to eat where they cook the food in front of you?? (No, In two weeks I have surgery and can't work for 3 months) Can we sleep in a tent in the back yard, I have this little lock I can put on the zipper? etc. Most of oour drama comes from the word NO. or even NOT NOW. You would think by now that she knows that when husband and I say NO we mean no. We try not to say NO too often, and offer an alternated. Like, no, you can't sleep in the tent but you can stay in it til 11pm, we will start a fire in the fire pit and you can make s'mores. Having to do homework is a drama situation. One month, and she has two D's and one C-. Mainly all the work that she hands in is A's and B's - but the ones that never get back to the teacher brings grades way down. Well, 20 more minutes of peace and quiet, then time to wake them up. Last night was the night we upped the Seroquel XR from 50 to 100. Not sure if she will be even more groggy than she has been. Oh, on a funny note, she said she was glad she was going up to two pills, as the ARNP said they would not be as "seducing" as one pill. Reminded her it was "sedating - not seducing". KSM [/QUOTE]
