[QUOTE="Andy, post: 262950, member: 5096"] Thank you! I am looking forward to today. difficult child ended up in bed with us last night - 1st time in ages. I honestly can't remember the last time he actually slept in our bed. He said he couldn't sleep. He didn't sleep well this weekend but that was understandable at someone else's home. Things are getting so weird for him. I did ask him if anything happened at church/school and he said no. He doesn't like chapel which leads me to believe the lights are bothering him. It is usually only during math and reading there are problems - he always looks forward to lunch and recess with the other kids. He is the oldest in school this year. He is also hungry this morning because he ate hardly anything last night. He actually ate hardly anything all weekend. I told him to work on relaxing. He replies, "You always say that as if it is easy. It is not easy." I tell him I know it is not easy, it is work but if he practices it someday it may become a habit. I think he doesn't try hard enough sometimes. Just because something doesn't work the first time, you don't stop trying. When I tell him to go ahead and just get it over already, I think it just shocks him. He doesn't know how to react. I very very seldom get to that point but he will just say that I don't care about him. He gets sad but does not cry. I think he knows what I mean, that I am just fed up with it. This weekend I told him I was tired of dealing with it. He replied, "And you don't think I get tired of living with it?" The Flouxetine worked in the past. We just have to give it a few more weeks to see if it will work this time. My sister has a scrapbooking workshop on May 1st. I may just go to that. One or two nights away if I can find someone to take my Sunday School class - they can show a movie if they want. Today difficult child and I head to Fargo. Plan is to stop in at the car dealership to see what it will take to fix the driver's door so the car door clicker will work again (it works on the other doors so I know it is not the battery), do some shopping, bowl at a lane up there (depending on the results of the van door), neurology appointment, and back to town for a year end bowling party. Then early to bed. It sounds busy but there should be time between everything not to rush. I will call the neurologist to see if we can get in earlier if there was a cancellation. Yesterday difficult child went bowling. He played six games and got his first turkey on the 5th game and second turkey on the 6th game. His 6th game score was 181. That was a very good time for him. I thought his low score for the day was 117 but he thinks it was 114. Either way, very good. [/QUOTE]
