I called& left a message for my pdoc to call me back today because I'm pretty sure I'm hypomanic. He hasn't called back yet, but sometimes he doesn't until 5, 5:30 or so.

My daughter & I went to my sister's house. She wanted to have a kind of end-of-summer fun day for my daughter & her 3 girls - one 7, one 5, one 4. The kids wore PJs and watched a movie with popcorn. Then, we had breakfast for lunch, my mom's chocolate chip pancake recipe, which is absolutely the best. The kids played some games before we headed home. My daughter is 10 now and starting 5th grade tomorrow; I cannot believe how much taller she is than my 7 year old niece. They grow a lot between 2nd & 5th grade! We both have husbands who are 6'4" tall with tall fathers, so the tall genes are there for all our kids. My nieces don't start school until Monday though. My sister is excited about it as she has homeschooled the 7 year old before this, but she got to the point where she was just too exhausted to keep doing it. Her house is utter chaos with all 3 girls running around and trying to pull you in 3 directions at once. She said she just needs a break and wants to work on her relationship with her 4 year old, often lost in the shuffle and with a personality that is a lot like her own, causing her to get more frustrated at her than the other 2.

I have a pounding headache, but of course, my period decided it might as well show up a few days early

Hope I hear back from the pdoc soon. I think the hypomanic symptom of interrupting people in mid-speech is getting on my husband's nerves, and he's pretty stressed with a new school year starting and his school in utter chaos because of a bad principal.
