This post is directed to the man that I crossed paths with in Walmart last week. You probably have not given me a second thought. I on the other hand think about you. Why do I think about you? Because I wish I had turned to you and told you thank you. You were talking with the lady you were with when you came within five feet of me. I can not remember exactly what you said. What I remember is that you censored yourself. I had already in my mind heard exactly what you had planned on saying and so was surprised when you didn't actually say it. The word you were going to say has become such a huge part of everyday talk. You can't even go to the Elementary with out hearing a child utter the word. This does not mean that I do not cringe every time I hear it uttered by someone.
You don't know me and I don't know you. This was a chance run in where we just crossed paths, but thank you for your consideration. I appreciate it and wish that I had turned to you at the time and thanked you.

It has been a very long time
It has been a very long time. I have only one picture of Bear posted on here and he is almost a year and a half old.
Life has not been the easiest for us for the last year. Right now we are paying both rent and mortgage as we have moved and have not been able to sell our home. I love the house and that is the hardest part of the move. That and not being as close to the wonderful friends we made there.
Right now the biggest thing on my mind is the recent diagnosis of ADHD for Monkey. He is not the stereo typical ADHD kid. He is not a bouncing off the wall kind of kid. He just has a hard time with finishing things and actually doing busy work.
It wasn't until the move and being in a much smaller town that he ran into major problems. I have known that he has had problem with finishing work. He has had this issue since preschool.
Personally I always felt that ADHD was overly diagnosed. Now I sit here with a child that has it. Now I have the choice to medicate or not. I decided to go the medication route. Tonight I am grateful that I chose to. Bear ripped Monkey's homework paper. Three months ago this would have caused a huge melt down. Tonight he said "It's okay Mom." That right there is why I will continue the medication.
