I'm fine with food. I've started some new exercise videos which are really good and are getting me into good shape. You helped me a lot with friends and I'm doing really well with that now. Your help got me moving in the direction of being less defensive which helped immensely all around.

It is really nice to hear that you are doing well with friends. I am sure you are a wonderful and very loyal friend. Exercise videos are so good because you can do them at home. Do you like Yoga? I had been doing more than I am now, but I love the meditation. I am slowly getting back into it. What exercise videos are you doing?
I am nervous about the job. I am doing all of this preliminary interviewing. I would like to start already. I need to be making money.
Yes, my teens treatment of me is very triggering. Like I am not doing a good enough job with them. Which is what they tell me! Are they for real? I have dedicated my life to them, to all of my children, it hurts to hear how I am not "taking care of them" the way they want. I just cannot have fresh cooked meals every night. That is what they complain about. Can you imagine? They sometimes have to eat leftovers. I also tell them if they don't like dinner, they CAN prepare something for themselves. I get grumble, grumble back from them. They would prefer to have me home and not working to cater to their every whim!
My 1st grader is in an integrated classroom and one of the teachers is a special ed teacher. My daughter is in regular math, but special ed for reading. They do a nice program where they learn to read in a different way than the rest of the class. She takes about 8 kids out for this special reading program. She does okay, but has a very short attention span. She plays around, makes up words, holds the book upside down. Ack! Other than that she is sweet and quiet. Not hyper. I asked them if they had any experience with ADD. They didn't think she had ADD. They said she is a strong math student and focuses well. So why can't she read? I have an appointment with a developmental pediatrician in 2 weeks. Just for a consult. I know the pediatrician, so that is why I am taking my d to her.
It is helping me a lot to post. I am getting some good studying time in this morning. After I posted how I couldn't study, I started focusing. Thanks, Sannah
