Tales From Janet Land

This is such a great idea for a post!Happy (almost) birthday! I have a card that I haven't sent yet because I suck like that...Have fun drinking wine and catching up and for what it's worth...I would have the exact same reaction to the hairdresser dilemma.

wow wow wow!

Awesome.

Happy Mother's Day!

Reminds me of what the angels say about our preference for the past, focus on the future and avoidance of the now.

Yes, take that chance...there's only one way to find out and the experience is learning, always, about yourself.

I'm so sorry that I didn't read this until today, Mary.You need prayers and encouragement? You've got it...coming all the way from Canada. I agree with MellowDee...early diagnosis is key and once you get a diagnosis, you will be followed up and checked up on regularly...you won't have to do this alone, Mary. There will be people who know what to do and how to handle things to guide you along the way and help you to do the best thing for Kota. This has been my experience as a mom to Michael... just when I start to feel overwhelmed, I take a deep breath and trust the caregivers who know what they're talking about.Hand in there, Mary...hope is on the horizon.

Oh, wow, Mary! I'm so glad that you are all okay...

Poor Kota!But I'm so glad that you and him are getting the advice and guidance you need.Sounds like you had an amazing Mother's Day, Mary! And I'm so glad because you absolutely deserve it.

Nice.

Pinch a butt day!Awesome!Happy Friday and Happy Weekend, Elfie...I'll be working but thinking of you lucky folks with weekends off.

I'm with you on wanting to round up the bullies, but furthermore, i want to round up their parents!I'm glad that this guy is taking your breath away...you need that.

You and Kota *so* needed a day away like that! I'm so happy for both of you, Mary!And I'm even happier that you had a chance to talk to Kota's teacher...the more people on your side (and Kota's side) the better.

I agree with texastar and hopefields on the counselor issue, Tanya.But in the meantime...can you look at this time as an opportunity for self reflection? Try to see it as time for Tanya..just for you..to figure out what you'd like to have happen and where you'd like to go in life. I can assure you that no matter how hard it is, it is necessary and you *ARE* absolutely worth it.

Hmmm...I was hoping that the deck views would include you.Very nice and now I'm filled with a happy excited feeling.
