Not that freaky addictive stuff, just salt and water. Just finally remembered to check back about the nose bleed stuff…I agree that saline spray every morning and night helps mucho with dry nose.

After he had calmed down and returned to game night - put his men back on the board - he announced that he was fine now, did his deep breathing and who's turn was it? My eyes were still crossing from trying to remain calm. He is 9 now and this is his new stage of dealing with his frustrations. It is always like a switch is flicked and down comes the happy peaceful child once again. Every stage has its ups and downs (although some seem more down than up :/). Hang in there Susan - no you and your family are not alone!! Thinking of you last night when our youngest disappeared upstairs with his “meltdown”.

Tomorrow, first stop, Caribou Coffee for a decadent latte. Then, a new hairstyle (which was kindly voted on by my blog readers ...). I may even live a little and wear eyeliner. We are on day 57 of the bedbound / wheelchair bound broken legged Child here. Yea, good times. I am so with you on the salon therapy. Tomorrow, first stop, Caribou Coffee for a decadent latte.

Whew. I didn't leave a comment on your last post, the one about your concerns about your son and ADHD. I'd like to add something to what your doctor said, something that he should have said to you too. Yes, many children with ADHD struggle in their 20's. It is a proven, well-researched fact. It is also a proven, well-researched fact that children with ADHD whose parents are involved and active, and who create structure, rules and stability with clear expectations do much, much better in their 20's. And quite frankly, any seven and half year who is not having tantrums isn't worth their weight ;) I’m delurking here. Whew.

So, I'll give a hearty "that sucks" and I hope things look up soon. Well, I could give you an “atta-girl” or a “hang in there”, but, you might hit me.
