What a week? Tamiflu, Daylight Savings Time, and a new addition to our family happened. Girl is what we call her for now although it is not set in stone. I am calling her that to train myself that she is a she and not a he like we first thought.
Problem is, there is a little he-dog whose owners are next door, and he seems, we will just say, drivin. He is one of those annoying, yelping dogs. I would hate for our black lab to be the mother of his pups. Sorry neighbors if you read this. I like Captain, your other dog. I just don't like Rascal. I call him Tenille to be purely insulting.
Next Tuesday, Lord willing, our beautiful, black Girl will be infertile.
I just got back from the vet with her and she was given her first injections and heart worm prevention. Yum, yum. She actually believed it was a treat, the heartworm pill, that is. Our dog Pudge has convinced us that his must be wrapped in a slice of cheese.

The Flu
Yesterday, I took Reed to the doctor where he tested positive for Type B of the Flu. She asked him if he was achey. He pointed to the inside of his two elbows and his head. Don't quite know if he understood the question. With a 101 fever, he really did not complain about feeling too bad. This is typical for an Autistic person, well at least for this one.
Now the whole family is taking Tamiflu. Hubby is the most fearful of catching it because of his work responsibilities. The doctor encouraged him that he would not likely get it. Caleb, the younger son is coughing and sneezing today. No fever though. Since Caleb is allergic to most things year round, it is a hard call to make.
The only thing I need is more paper towels. My sons think kleenex are useless and only go for paper towels. Is this a man thing?
Well, I must cook breakfast and get ready. The Conns repairman is coming today in possibly an hour and a half. I warned him about the flu but he said he has already had it.

My Third Blog Post
I was deep and honest in my first blog, funny and clever in the second attempt, but the third attempt has had to occur because I should have saved this before using Spell Check, oops.
Married 20.5 years, have two children at home, both adopted, and both with Labels. I used to hate the way everyone was labeled. I think I must have been leaning toward nurture over nature in my world view at that time. Well, I am thankful for our two sons even though they have Labels. My oldest has ASD (Autism Spectrum dissorder) and my younger has Tourettes+. We have homeschooled them both up until this past year. Reed with ASD went to a private school which is also a skills center.
Reed wanted to go to school a year ago or rather just strike out on his own at age 15 but thankfully God provided a place for him to have some independence. A week ago Reed decided he was ready to come home for school. I am glad he is more mature and that he does not just hate his mother anymore but I am not sure what is best for him. My husband and I are prayerfully considering his request.
There are pros and cons. I do want him home but everything will have to change. Change can be good. There will be difficulties. Difficulties work for our good also. We shall see. We are going to talk to the owner of the school and see what she has to say this week.
