So much going on!

First of all, since I know you're on the edge of your seats, Weight Watchers is going extremely well! I *almost* completely stayed within my points for the first time in forever. I ruined it by going to the buffet with my family last night but I am proud to report that I only had one plate of food and then a small plate of dessert. Not shabby at all for me. Unfortunately, I gained 1.4 lbs. last week. I am chalking that up to being back on low-carb for a couple of weeks prior to then. I had to stop doing low-carb indefinitely because I was getting crazy heart palpatations and/or near panic attacks. I do have to say that I am at peace with this decision and I am taking this extremely serious this time. I think I can do this long-term because I'm starting to find my niche. I weigh-in on Wednesdays so I'll try to come back and update you then.

Now onto the crappy news. My kids have completely lost their minds. Adrian is having the worst behavior problems of his life. He actually faked being sick and skipped school about a week and a half ago! Ahhh! And so it begins. His grades went down too from the prior grading period and so he is grounded and then some through the end of the year. We have him in counseling right now and I wish I could say that it has helped but so far he has gotten worse. I may have mentioned before but he has Sensory Processing Disorder. In discussing his recent issues with school as well as socialization issues, his counselor believes that he may be high functioning Autistic. This is not a surprise to me. He has always been different. If he ends up being diagnosed as Autistic, I won't love him any less. At this point in time, I just want some help getting through these issues and getting him the help he needs to succeed in life.

Collin is having major behavioral issues too. The school (aka daycare) has recommended a professional evaluation by a local state agency and we have agreed to that. The school thinks he is ADHD, I think he has Sensory Processing Disorder (and that he's just on the complete opposite end of the spectrum as Adrian), and Matt thinks he is gifted (he is reading already, by the way - we just found this out from the school about two months ago). I don't care what he has, I just want some sense of normalcy back and want the exact same thing that I want for Adrian - for him to succeed in life and be happy. I have a feeling it's going to be a long few months since I'm certain we will be going through numerous tests, evaluations, etc. with both of the boys. When it rains, it pours.

On a happy note, I finally got the promotion I've been wanting for years! I am officially a Team Leader/Supervisor as of today. I won't say much about that because my blog is public. Don't be surprised at all if I don't mention my job from here on out for that reason.

On to other good news...we booked our Summer vacation. We're going to the Outerbanks in June and I CANNOT wait?! Not only have I always wanted to go, but I get to meet my BabyCenter buddies, Becky and Sara for a girls' night out and maybe even a play date. The bad news is that I just realized that we booked our vacation during my youngest sister's graduation. Talk about feeling terrible?! :( Thankfully, DeeDee knows that this doesn't mean that I don't love her. It just means that I'll be giving her additional money for her graduation present to ease my guilt, LOL!

Those are the quick updates in a nutshell. I haven't been able to update much because this quarter is pretty terrible with the Statistics class I'm taking (from an instructor who doesn't know how to teach). I suspect that won't change much until after this quarter, but I'll at least try to be back on weigh-in days and with quick updates on the boys.
