Not really, but to difficult child I did. Whew! She was in a great mood when I picked her up at the end of the driveway. She got elected class president for student council and was happy. We get in the house and let her know has 45 minutes to unwind from school. She didn't want to eat her snack and got on the computer. Dad, me and easy child all had watermelon. She's looking a little agitated, not sure why.
30 minutes goes by and she's ready for her snack. She asks for watermelon. I cut the watermelon and whammo all h*** breaks loose. "Why did you cut it into small pieces, I am not a baby!" she yells.
Slams plate and fork down on counter. She wont eat it. Ok. Black rage eyes looking at me.
Asks for mashed potatoes. I pop them in the microwave and give them to her! She is giving me the evil eye the whole time so I ask her to leave the room. NO!!! and is banging plates around. Tells me she hates me.
So I leave to laundry room, call husband. Holy cow. This is clearly stimulant rebound. I come out after my short phone call and she is asleep and has been for about 40 minutes. She is up now and still kinda nasty, but stimulant has to be cut back tomorrow. Talk about mood swings! I hope the rest of the year is not going to be like today.
Just wish for calm in the afternoon. I asked her how she felt today at school and she said sleepy, not focused. We gave her extra stimulant patch today and she has had this level before over the summer and didn't get this reaction. But this looks like rebound effect. Hoping for a better tomorrow. Welcome back to school.
