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.
