Life With Boys

First things first — I have been officially accepted for Graduate School — just got the official letter today. (Can the person who left the comment about grants and calling the dean please let me know who it is I’m to call?)

Second — I’m pretty much off all meds in hopes of “resetting” my system. I’m on 300 mg of Wellbutrin a day now. It’s not easy and I can feel the difference, but I need to try something else. I’ve been on drugs for 10 years and in talk therapy on and off throughout. (I’m still on now.) All I can ask for is patience and a new category of drugs to be approved by the FDA. (Apparently 1 in 3 people will not respond to the drugs on the market today which is about 5 million people in our county.)

Third — I talked to another parent of a “remedial” student at a birthday party over the weekend and apparently I am not the only one who ended up in tear of shock and dismay. I’m tempted to call the Mom’s of the other two students, but I’m not sure what I’m after so I’ve held off for now.

Fourth — Can the election just be over NOW! I’m so sick of all of it I can scream. All that money wasted just makes my blood boil — can you just imagine how much good could be done in the world if we took even a small portion of what has been spent to “shape public opinion” (and this is coming from a PR person!)

Fifth — I’ve been working on a massive scanning project with Matt’s Mom and I think we’re nearing an end (maybe) Hey if I’ve asked you to send me photos, please do.

Sixth — Lowes was having a major sale on perennials so I bought a zillion and spent a ton of time playing in the dirt this weekend (let’s just hope it all pays off)

Anyway — I’m determined to finish our Hawaii album so I’d better get at it.
