Wow it's been awhile since I've posted. This is summer is going o.k. NJ seems little off lately ,D is just just more stubborn than ever and DR well she is spoiled. NJ I don't know what is wrong is it his diet , the video games or hormones but he is just grouchy and moody, it takes a tole on ya that's for sure. D OMG he is 16 thinks he runs the place, which I admit sometimes he does but we keep getting into this argument about soda. I don't want him to drink it it's not healthy and he tells me it is, I'm so tired of him drinking soda. Why can't he get the concept it is not good. DR she is good about wanting to eat healthy and started making everyone smoothies it's her favorite thing to do now a days. There are a few days when she throws fits and wants everything her way but she is getting better at it. Tonight I'm just happy everyone is actually in there own bed,hopefully sleeping. 

26 March 2012

I hate name blogs, I really do so if I don't have a specific name for it I will just put the date on it. It works for me :)
Today the boys fell asleep early about 9... actually today wasn't a bad day. Our mornings are always a little rough cause I can't wake up in time to save the life of me (I actually probably should be asleep now with the kids but decided to stay up and catch up on my blogging) ... So this morning about 6:45 my morning wake up call comes in. (Yes I have the best-est friends who call me to make sure I am up ) got everyone washed and bath and out the door. Chica  was late again for school.  So pretty good morning over all since most the time the boys meds don't kick in till an hour later and trying to get NJ to stay on task and dress himself can be a real challenge in the morning.
Tonight was good to, though they weren't happy I took their "toys" away. D & NJ were very helpful with getting the garbage& recycles to the curb.  I made dinner and Chica made desert . So yeah little grumpy but over all I'm happy especially since all the kids fell asleep before 9:30 , so lets hope they wake up early tomorrow. :)

NOW... yesterday soooo not a totally happy day. First we went to church which was actually kind of nice. They had a Reverend come in and talk and he demonstrated how to use some Drums and Instruments from Africa. Then if happened the boys started fighting. Can someone tell me why they always want to fight in church when your suppose to be quiet? Also why do I have to be at the opposite end of the pew? So I move and sit next to NJ and realize he didn't change his shirt UGH! He wasn't happy when I told him he stunk , he told me I was mean. That set the tone for his attitude most the day. I had promised them fishing so after church they went fishing, or should I say we tried. The string on Chica's & NJ's poles where all messed up and the fish didn't want to bite. D well he didn't want to use a worm and tried with a spiny lure but the fish just weren't biting. So I decided to leave and who is me did that start a ruckus. Poor NJ he was so mad we were leaving. He just wanted to catch a fish. I wanted to go see if it was better fishing on the river. So we got in the car and started to drive home....and he hated me. I know this he told me so several times. So by the time we got to Loran Church (a little church in a un incorporated town) I pulled over. NJ jumps out and the rest of us just sit there. I hear him mumble and groan as he goes and sits under the tree with his arms crossed. He sits there awhile and I watch him in the side-view mirror, I watch him grumble and moan and twittled his thumbs. I wonder what is going through his head, how is he working it out. He needed this I think to myself, he needed this "time out" to work things out. Finally I get out of  the car and he gets up, I try to give him a mint and he doesn't want it at first. I tell him it might make him feel better (sounds weird but peppermint helps calm). He tells me he hates me again and I hug him and tell him that's ok I love him anyway. He is still angry , he kind of moans but I hug him tighter and start rubbing his back. I tell him we are going home but we are going out to the river after we pick up the rest of tackle box. He seems temporarily happy with that cause he just wants to go home. On the way home I play one of his favorite songs and he sings he seems back to himself when we arrive home. Rest of day goes pretty smooth actually nicer than the first. When we get our stuff and head to the river kids where still little antsy but we get there and set up and after awhile NJ is quiet and calm. D had some struggles too, he was mound and determined to use a lure (sometimes he wants to be so grown up) . Finally after loosing the third one I told him he was fishing with worms and bobbers until otherwise stated. And my little Chica her fishing line was totally ruined somehow from earlier. I tried to fix it but it was un-salvageable. Instead though she entertained herself by playing with worms. Yep she played with our bate and gave them each "a blessing" .
Everyone was tired after dinner so we all took our vitamins and went to bed. Overall even with NJ's "episode" we had a good day and I'm grateful . Now next time maybe if we could catch some fish. :)

Hello

Hello If you come looking for Edward or Bella well you are in the wrong place. On rare occasion and Highly rate I might mention them when we go see the next movie but this blog will be about me as a single mother raising three children, two have ADHD &  Asperger Syndrome. It isn't always easy and if you are a special needs parent you know this and maybe my blog will help you or you will be able to relate. Who knows maybe you will have some good advice to suggest that will help my kids out. If your not a special needs parent keep in mind that dealing with special needs children is not the same as dealing with "normal" children. 

Asperger's fall into the Autism spectrum,people with Asperger's have a hard time socially, they have a hard time relating to other's emotions and sometimes can not distinguish there facial expressions. If your familiar with The Big Bang Theory think of Dr. Sheldon Cooper, I think he is a good example. Though I think CBS is the only ones who don't. Otherwise there is Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome  , http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/aspergers-syndrome/DS00551 , or you can just Google it. 

Now you might be wondering why in the world I named my page Mama Twilight. Well now and then before the big movie came out my daughter would call me Mama Twilight  because I'm her Mother ,obviously, and my middle name is Twilight. So it sounded like a good name to write under. 

I don't know how well I will be at blogging, who knows if I will be able to keep up with it. I should have plenty to blog about cause they do keep me on my toes. I know not everything in this blog with be bright and cheerful but I am hoping it won't be down and dreary everyday either. I think the hardest time to write probably will be when everything is going well but I want to try. What I hope to get out of this blog? Just a chance to keep my Sanity.
