This morning I took Ryan to Starbucks after dropping Alex off at school, and for once the combo pack of owl & kitty cookies was not broken to bits. I gave him the owl, which he was enchanted with (he's been really into birds, and there's an owl in one of his favorite books). He loved the design so much that he grudgingly ate tiny bites of the wings and feet, studying it each time afterwards, before COOKIE won out and he ate up the head.

Alex's class had a substitute teacher last week, and he did awesome every day. I hate to be one of ~those~ parents, but it feels more and more like the teacher is the problem (at least part of it). How to bring that up tactfully at his quarterly review next month? Sigh. I think I'm just going to dance around it but insist he begin transitioning to a regular classroom. If I have to, I'll just move him completely, but I think a period of transition would be better. He's got a great group of friends now... one of the kid's dads came in for their Valentine's day party and made balloon art (swords and flowers) for them all :) Alex has a current fascination with mummies, and how they're the same as / different from zombies.

I'm... getting along. Last week/weekend was so good, and I think I'm feeling a bit of letdown following that. I got to have non-virtual hugs and chatting with moon_heart, had a really lovely Valentine's celebration with my sweetheart, got to see my dad, etc... a little busy trying to juggle it all, but so worth it.

I've been taking chloryphyll off and on, following a rec from the Nourishing gourmet. Perhaps it's just in my head, but it does seem to help my energy levels and mood... trying to be a bit more consistent in taking it. I see my endocrinologist this morning, and I'm fairly certain I'll be adding a morning insulin shot to my regime :( Not happy about it, but resigned. Alex has a four day weekend, and we'll be getting an Ella tomorrow afternoon.... usually Alex is at school and Ryan is asleep when she comes over, so it'll be nice for them to spend time together.

If it's helping you feel better does it matter if it's all in your head? :)

I'll think good thoughts for you and hope it doesn't come down to another shot.

Yay for Ryan and Alex cuteness!
