My RMT is still out and I've been seeing someone else in the wellness centre- it's a bit of a co-op situation with all of them having different takes on the way they offer healing to you. I find myself doing spiritual battle with the lady I'm seeing now and I'm not finding the same level of healing through her hands. I look forward to having my therapist with her healing touch back soon. I've been given a referral for a naturopathic doctor who has had some success with fibro. As soon as I can figure out the Hero's schedule I will set up an appointment.
Iceman is having some challenges at school. I met with his teachers last week. I am pleased that they are on top of things early on and I hope that we can find a way to make this year a successful one for him. He has some concentration issues, gets frustrated because everything is "so hard" and well... he is Iceman. I'm proud of myself. While I went right to beating myself up when I first got the meeting request I didn't let that consume me and am moving forward to do what I can to help Iceman succeed in school.
Kodiak and I are heading to Europe in 2010. He is very excited about it and I figure it will be a great opportunity for both of us. I hope he's as enthusiastic about having his Mom tag along in 2 years. He is already asking what kind of food they have in each country, what languages he should study, where can we find info about where we are going etc. We will be visiting London, Paris and Barcelona.
La Diva has been having some girl drama in her life. It really frustrates me and I hate to see her have to deal with this crap already. She is a really compassionate child (and I'm not just saying that because she is my daughter) and hates to see people treating others badly. Unfortunately that has made her a target and it is even coming from one she had considered her BFF. I've done what I can and even had a meeting with the mom of her BFF. Unfortunately it did little to ease my mind but gave me insight into this girls true character. I don't have a problem with the family at all, in fact one of Kodiak's best buds is cousin and lives with them, however, our views on rearing children differ. She thinks they need to learn that you won't be friend with people forever and I think that they are still children and need guidance in how to treat people you call BFF. She basically said that if BFF can't see that La Diva is a good friend than maybe she needs to let her be on her own or with others so she can realize just how good she had it with La Diva. I just hate seeing La Diva hurt and be a doormat for this kind of junk. I'm trying to teach her that it's ok to be upset and to tell her friends when they hurt her, that she doesn't have to hold it all in and that she can, in a respectful way, express her feelings about how she is being treated. She is used to everyone loving her and keeping the peace with all the drama queens. *sigh* We aren't even in Jr. High yet. My heart hurts that she is enduring this already.
Turtle is loving school so much. He is beyond thrilled that a classmate moved next door. It's been such fun to watch him blossom from this shy little barnacle to a charasmatic leader. He loves his teacher and is learning so much.
The Hero is in full swing of his super busy season. Next week we lose him for the majority of the week to trips. He is doing amazing and is finally getting some recognition from his company... looks like he'll be moving up the ladder again. I'm so very proud of him. He's becoming a bit of a "celebrity" in the industry as well. lol
The Hero's cousin was the first guy to be eliminated from SYTYCD-Canada last week. I felt so badly for him, he was visibly shocked. I thought he did an amazing solo. I did have a sinking feeling he might be ousted by default because I figured they'd keep the ballroom guy and knew Blake loved Dario. I am sure that Kevin will be richer for the experience and I am confident that he has great things in his future. You can check out his journey here.
Hey Ker, I am so pleased things are looking up. It was great to catch up with the goings on in your family. Tell C I am disappointed that his trip to europe does not include a stop over in NZ.... yeah I know other side of the world and all that!

Hi Kerry, I'm glad to hear that things are looking up for you a bit, and hopefully you'll find the healing hands you need. <3
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to your little ones who are having problems.
