ramble

I made blueberry buttermilk pancakes this morning. My son was in heaven, I do have to say I loved them myself! I've never made buttermilk pancakes from scratch, years ago I made the boxed ones and let me tell you they are nothing compared to homemade!!! I've really never been a pancake person, they were always too heavy for me. When I made the pancakes today I used oat flour, so far so good no reaction from my son. I usually use Pamela's baking mix. I will forsure make these again.......YUMMM

I have started making lists for myself again, I feel like I'm becoming a bum. Maybe it's to prove to myself I am being productive lol. One of the things on my list today is to do more research on dyslexia. I got out the Dr. report on what he recommended for my son and read that again. I've learned very quickly that dyslexia is very different for each person. I tend to feel a build up of anxiety when I'm overwhelmed with information and getting no where with it. I feel like there isn't enough help out there. The school tries to pass off dyslexia but when you say reading disability it's better.....OK what's the difference?!?!? I'm going to call the Dr. on Monday to see if there is somewhere I can bring my son to for the therapy he needs or at least give me products I can use. I'm already doing that with the decoding and fluency (www.greapleaps.com).

I have a ton of Magic Tree House books and was told that it's at my son's reading level. My mom told me about Henry Winkler being an author, that I didn't know. He wrote a book series called Hank Zipzer (www.hankzipzer.com) it's about himself growing up. I also didn't know Henry is dyslexic. So that is my next purchase is this book series.

Then there's the 14 year old daughter (#2)......I need all the positive thoughts and prayers possible :). This young lady is going to test the boundaries and then some. Her father and I are complete opposites, when she gets in trouble he yells and carrys on, I on the other hand remain calm, say quick prayers in my head, then ask her what was she thinking? We chat and the consequences are handed out. I have to reread the book Closing the Gap by Dr. Phil's son. It was a great help for me with my oldest daughter but I read it like 6 years ago I believe. #2 dear daughter is one that is over bearing at times then can be the biggest sweetheart. Talk about jeckyl and hyde!!! There's never a dull moment with my children. I'm much definitly very blessed.

I started taking more vitamin C the past 4 days, I take 2,000mg in the morning, 1,000mg in the afternoon and 1,000mg late evening. I've noticed a big difference in how I feel. Yay me!!

Look at the time, it is now lunch time and I need to get in the shower to get my tushy in gear.

Be Blessed
