We made it through another week with just a little drama. Once again we didn't go out much - the weather has been horrible! I have one photo of Carmie and that is it. I took it on Wednesday at a homeschool meet we went to. It was on Chambers Island, which is a small island off the river in Maroochydore. The island was pretty cool with some awesome climbing trees and some mangroves to explore. The river was very brown though from all the rain we've had, so not very appetising to swim in. The other kids did, but not my two. I met a couple of nice parents, but the kids didn't do much socialising. It's really hard because the kids that know each other all go off in a group, and Carmie and Arley have a hard time joining in. I think these large meet ups aren't really for us! Carmie read her book most of the time, and Arley was whittling sticks. At least we left the house though, and explored a new place.
We have been bribing the kids all week with tv dinner nights. They have to be kind to each other all day and they earn dinner in front of the tv. It has actually been working out really well (and Jeff and I get to chill and watch a show too)...except for today. Carmie had another night of insomnia last night, and Arley has been off his Prozac for three days and this morning started on Zoloft. The Zoloft is supposed to take two weeks before it begins to take effect, and up to six weeks for full dose. So, we pretty much have a very emotional Carmie and a rather volatile Arley, which is not a good combination.
I don't have much else to report, and I'm hoping that next week I have more photos and more adventures to talk about :)
