Wow, it's only hump day and I am just exhausted. We have had a pretty rough week already. On Sat. we had our church fall festival. It was so much fun. Mile's had a blast!! We did some shopping and did not get home until 9:30 and we were beat! On Sun. we had Womens Sunday and had a guest speaker. She was awesome! I started to get sick on Sat. and by Sun. night was running a fever. I woke up Mon. and was running a 102 temp. I still had to go to work though because there was one to cover my shift so early. I got ready and got in my car when I noticed there was a draft, I figured that my husband may have left one of the windows open and looked and realized that my back passenger side window had been shattered. I then realized that I also no longer had a CD player in my car. What a way to start a morning. I freaked out and got my husband and he freaked out too but I still had to leave to go to work. I went to work and worked for about 5 hrs. My boss let me leave early because I was a wreck. I have never had anything stolen from me and I was really upset. I guess I just dont understand how someone can not have respect for other peoples property. Even now when I think about it I cant believe it happened. We called someone to come and fix the window that same day. It cost 150 dollars though and that REALLY sucked!  I just pray for the person who did it. But now I am just parinoid about someone breaking in our apartment. We do not live in the best of neighborhoods and just a couple of weeks ago my husband and I heard someone out on our porch and then he tried to break into the apartment across from us and then the cops showed up and arrested him. My husband works Mon.-Weds. night so Miles and I are here by ourself. I have been jumping at every sound I hear. I know that God will take care of me, I just wish my nerves understood that. We did not do anything on Halloween since I was still running a 102, we just stayed home and watched both Scary Godmother's on Cartoon Network. He does not need all that candy anyway. Today I woke up to no more fever, YEAH!! I fell alot better but and still running slow. My mom comes in town tomorrow but I dont get to spend alot of time with her because we are going up to camp in Dallas Fri. night for conclave on Sat. A whole day of tests and interviews. We took our Bible and Doctrine tests and boy were they not fun. It's been alot of paper work lately. I just hope we get accepted and are able to go to SFOT in Aug. Well, that's all for now, I am watching LOST and want to be able to pay attention. Hope you are all doing great. Take Care and God Bless.

VENTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, I consider myself to be a pretty nice person. I am easy to get along with and bearly ever get angry. Even when someone does something to upset me I am able to get over and beyond it very quickly. I dont really hold grudges and am very forgiving to a fault. And this is not just me saying this, I have been told this by many people. But every once and a while I get upset and need to vent. This is one of those times. I had a very good weekend except for one, very short incident. The reason this incident made me so angry is because it was about my son. A person who I will not name decided to give me their opinion of my son. I know that my son can be a handful but what this person said was in my opinion VERY RUDE!!! This person said that I should let them have two days with my son and they would straighten him out. That he did not play well with other children, and that I needed to get on top of teaching him how to act. This person told me that they did not know "how I do it" referring to how I can deal with him. I know Miles can drive a person crazy sometimes, but cant all children at times. Trying to be nice I was telling this person how Zach and I had been discussing having another child. We have been told by many people that having another child would possibly mellow him out, he would learn how to share and not being an only child would be good for him. Well, then this person said to me " But what if your next one turns out the same as Miles?"  WHAT NERVE!!!!!! How could you say that to someone? I would of course not care if I had five more like Miles, he is my son. I love him, his personality, his humor. He may be a handful, but he is my handful and I would not change a thing about him!!!! I realize that this person was stressed at the time they said this but that is NO EXCUSE!!!! I am trying to get over this and put it behind me but this person said all of this while Miles was standing right there listening. Children understand much more than we think they do and I do not want my son being labled and a troublemaker or " Bad Boy".  I have prayed about this situation and am going to have to find a way to get over this but I am just soooo angry! I also have to see this person often and do not know what I am going to do the next time I see them. I would love to go and tell this person that what they said hurt me , but that is just not me. I do not like confrentations. What do I do? Miles cant stand up for himself and it is my job as his mother to stand up for him.  On top of that I was talking to Miles' teacher today, asking how he was doing in class and she said that she does not think he is on level for his age and is constantly disrupting class and hitting other children. She said that she thinks he has ADHD and that when he turns 3 I should have him tested and put on medication. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! How can you think a 2 yr. old is ADHD? Most 2 yr old boys are hyper. She said that he has problems sitting still for centers and story and circle time. She wants them to sit for 15-20 min quietly while working. A childs attention span is said to be about 1 min per year. That means Miles' attention span right now is only about 2-5 min. Not 15-20. I am starting to consider pulling him out of school and letting him stay home. I feel that people single him out because he looks older. People expect him to act 4 because that is how old he looks. Anyway, I talked to my boss and let her know how I feel, she said that I should not pull Miles out but that I sould start something called "play therapy" Basically it's teaching Miles how to play and get along with other children.  I guess we will give it a try. I am just so upset about all of this. To me my son is just your typical toddler boy. Am I wrong. I have been crying about this since last night. I do not know what to do.Well, I am going to go love on and play with my son. Keep me in your prayers. Bye.

In my last post I said i would put up some pics of my smart little guy. Enjoy. He amazes me more and more every day. I am truly blessed!!
