I think I can, I think I can!

I have now been a pseudo-single mom for almost 2 months.  I sometimes feel like the little engine that could, saying "I think I can, I think I can"... LOL!

Summer is here, and we have a busy one planned!  It includes 4 weeks of girls inc. camp for Kloe, time in Arkansas and Virginia for the whole family, a major kitchen remodel for the house, and a two week trip to Ethiopia/Uganda for my big boys.  They get back the day before school starts again!

I was dreading summer vacation because we were starting to struggle with Kloe and some old behaviors and I didn't know how it would go.   I made an appointment with the Dr. and told him I felt we needed to increase the dosage of aderall, and Kloe's classroom teacher and her ESL teacher confirmed what I was already feeling in my gut.  We have been about a week on the higher dosage and the difference in family life is once again, astounding.  It's like a breath of fresh air... and not just for me as a parent... but Kloe feels so much better too!

So, not too much else to tell, we are just hanging in there until we can all be together again.  Until then... I think I can, I think I can!
