Better late than never
For those of you who regularly check my blog for new posting (Hi, mom!) I want to apologize for taking so long to update. I was verbally repremanded by my "blogging mentor" this morning before our first service at CBC for not keeping up. Sorry, Rew. I'll try to do better.
As for my life in the past week, there really isn't much to tell. I've basically been doing stuff for church and trying to take care of my family. Now, I have to say, the "taking care of my family" part has been the most challenging. Why? I have a 5 year old. Need I say more? Okay, well some of you don't have children, some of you do and they're perfect angels, and some of you have children who have gone through phases that made you want to cry (and sometimes you did). Well, my little boy, Joseph, has been a real booger this last week or so. He is in a phase of testing his power over his parents. And boy does he test it!!! He has pitched some major fits with kicking and hitting and throwing and sometimes more. Man, I haven't had this many bruises since I feel off a horse when I was 21 years old (another story for another time). Some of you have seen one of these fits. For that, I sincerely apologize. For those who haven't had the priviledge, I hope you never do. Believe me, you do not want to see it.
I am asking for prayer for me, Tim and Joseph, as well as, his teachers and friends and other family members who keep him on occasion. I'm hoping he comes out of this real soon so we can move on with our lives. We are going to the Weisskopf Child Evaluation Center in June for several different evaluations and tests and I hope that they can help us to know if this is something we will have to deal with the rest of our lives or if it's just a phase. Either is possible at this point. We are taking him because a pediatrician has suggested that he may be mildly autistic and has noted speech delays and a few other things we are having checked out. Some of you may not know that we adopted Joseph from Thailand when he was 13 months old. This has been the excuse by everyone (us and docs included) as to the speech delay. However, there are some other signs that point to other reasons and that's why we're going. I know that whatever they tell us it will help us to know what steps we should take next. We'll see.
Okay, so much for not having much to tell. I guess maybe I was just hoping I wouldn't have to think about it all again for a while. Now, aside from these fits it was a rather boring week with only a few unexpected surprises. Oh, I will say that Mother's Day was wonderful (it was fit free!!!!).
