Day 5

Wow, out of the fry pan and into the fire! It was such an intense day that it made us feel crazy. The first class of the day was about spectrum of emotions. A good class, but didn't learn anything new...slept through a part of it...LOL...! Second class, Psychodrama, set me on my butt hard! The person who was doing the drama had shared a secret that they had not told anyone before, and as they were sharing it, we dissociated into our 12 year old who caught all of the drama, and shared at the end her secret of what had happened with her...even down to riding her bike home when it was over...the same thing that happened to the person doing the drama. Talk about double whammy...we came unglued at that point, and our case manager took one look at us as we were passing by and said to us, "do you need to ground?" well, we did, but were more interested in having lunch than getting grounded. So Erin stayed out and ate lunch...it was her first time out and about since she had come to us...so it was a big thing for her. By the time lunch was finished and we were back in the room, Erin wanted to go back in and tearfully went to her room. When abbi checked on her later, she was asleep. I think the whole experience left her extremely tired. As for the rest of us, we got to talking about what happened to us in the next class, and were finally able to get grounded. We got to go outside and blow bubbles, which we enjoyed immensely. Then finally our case manager came to talk to us, and we told her all about our secret...still a secret because it's not complete yet...it's getting there, but still at stage one...figuring out why it came out right now instead of later. We are horribly tired and out of sorts, and are glad that it is Friday so we have the whole weekend to sort through all of the info of the week. I am so tired it isn't funny. I'm going to bed soon, and hope to sleep for a long time. Then I will get up and do housework. Gotta get bug spray and ant traps too...daughter's room has those little sugar ants in it and we gotta get them gone...so we are doing that this weekend too. Sigh. Lots to do with so little time to do it with. Oh well, we will take it slow and easy.

Thanks for checking in with us, we are glad that someone cares about things here with us! Thanks for your support!
