Rough Day

I'm really having a rough day today. The kids have been horrid. I woke up fine, had a headache shortly after and with the kids help it turned into a migraine.

I dropped Joey and Josh at school and went to the grocery store. Jackson (2yrs) was HORRIBLE the entire time with is yelling and screeching (his choice of communication unfortunately). I get a call from the pedi to discuss Josh's meds (I called him yesterday morning) so I'm trying to think and communicate in the middle of the grocery store with screaming baby and naughty 4yr old... About 30mins later the teacher is calling me to say that Josh is refusing to cooperate, to do anything, at school so she's sent him to the office. After I finished my shopping and got out to the car I called the office and bought Josh's good behavior for the last 30mins of the school day.

I go home to put away the groceries quickly and as I get back in the car the NP for Joey's meds is on the phone that Jon was playing with while I was busy. So I got his med refill called in. I did take meds for my raging migraine finally.

Go get Josh and came up with a plan for him. I'm really concerned about his unwillingness to transition 2hrs a day 2x a week when he has to go 7hrs a day 5 days a week come Sept 4th. After Joey is done with speech we get McD's for lunch and drive up to Milwaukee to pick up the Rx for Josh (Adderall) and go to the hospital pharmacy to have it filled and pick up Joey's.

The insurance doesn't want to pay for Joey's, it's 3 days too soon!! I have enough at home for 3 days but I don't want to have to drive up there again in 3 days when I'm there NOW. They do an override due to a dosage change. While I'm waiting my stomach is upset for some reason and I'm in and out of the bathroom 4 times. Finally get to the car with my 2 rx's and Jon is melting down for the 2000'th time. I sit there in the car, plug my ears and close my eyes. I open them and look at the very inviting edge of the parking structure and imagine the peace after I jump over it. Pull up my big girl panties and drive home. *sigh*

Put the kids in Joey's room to watch TV so I can lay down for a little bit. They let me have a 15min nap. I just want SLEEP right now!!!!  I keep thinking that others would think I am so stressed because I chose to have too many kids in too short a time span. However, I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd have 3 kids in less than 3 years all end up with ADHD!! That's a totally different scenario than just 3 kids in 3 years, or 4 kids in 4 years. If I knew then what I know now... I just don't know ...
