Meet-up with 2 school friends I haven't seen in ages this afternoon. I'm scared!! Plus just feel strange and down. Punished my son before bed last night for hitting, and it's the first time he's gone to bed without giving me a hug. I'm thinking his ADHD medicine is making him more aggressive. He's been talking back and more defiant and hitting at us since he's been on it. I'm afraid to change it, though, because I don't want him to be a zombie like he was on this other medicine we tried. I didn't like that at all. He's on a low dose of Adderall, and it seems to make him more hyper to me than less. And he's not that hyper anyway. It's just for his schooling. Which is another thing. Can't believe he'll be back to school next week. The summer has flown. I normally look forward to fall and him going back to school, but the company has really helped me and not looking forward to being alone all day every day again. We're coming upon some difficult 1-year anniversaries - the last months in our home and the last months of my cats' lives before the fire. And each month til the fire December 3rd I took a cat to the vet for various treatments. August - took Lily because she kept throwing up after drinking water. My little Lily is gone now. September, my James for bladder Stones. Still missing. October - had to get the end of Winston's tail amputated because fleas and itching caused him to dig it down to the bone. November took my Tabitha for ear infection. They're all gone. This is going to be hard.
