More questions no answers

Caleb has a sensory disorder and  ADHD, well we haven't medicated him but his teacher thinks its time. He is really struggling in class and his class is specialized with only ten students. So today, we went to the drs to talk to her and I am blessed to have a great doctor but more questions are now being asked and assessed. The Dr. is not putting him on medication because she does not know what affects the medication can have on the issues he is having. Also, she wants him to see an Autism specialized Psychiatrist. She believes he needs to be reevaluated even though another psychologist stated he did not have autism or aspergers, because she is not sure if this is correct. So again, here we are I feel like back at square one but whatever is ahead of us its ok because i know we will make it through and we already have been very aware that Caleb has special needs and have been working on it. Just want some definitive answers so we can help Caleb learn and live.

Resolutions

This year I decided I was not going to do a New Years resolution because i never follow through. I realized I do good for about a month and then fall off the wagon. So this year, i have decided I am doing monthly goals. The first goal for Jan was to clean out the garage. I did not finish it until feb so Jan and Feb goal became the same and got it done about half way through feb. 

March's resolution is no more soda. The last soda i had was on Feb. 28th. I am 10 days sober and feeling great. I cant believe how much better i feel. Yesterday, was hard and i thought i would slip up but i didnt and I am very proud of my willpower. I know I have a long month ahead but I am excited about this goal. 


This year focus is making myself better. Last year, was tough on me and realized I was breaking down and losing who i was. I learned I forgot to take care of me and have had to weed out some things from my life because I was way too busy.  I am doing and feeling much better. I have a long way to go before i am really happy with who I am but I can say I am much happier than I was 3 months ago.
