I took Libby to her doctor appointment yesterday. Took her out of school 30 minutes early and drove 30 miles for a five minute talk with the doctor with gas at nearly 3.70 a gallon. Yeah thanks for that one doc. But basically we decided that we would stop with the medication for the summer. I don't know if this is good or bad. It's good that she wont have to be on meds for awhile and I'll get to see what she's like completely unmedicated. On the bad side this means that she will be bouncing off the walls for three months straight and talking non stop. Hopefully it wont be as bad as I'm thinking. Maybe in the past year she has grown out of it just a teeny tiny bit and she wont be driving me nuts. Plus I can always drop her off with Grandma and Grandpa for a while. LOL
I am really glad she wont be on meds. I don't like the side effects and I really don't like the not eating part. She just isn't hungry at all during the day. She acts like she is starving after school but she'll eat something tiny and think she's done. Kills me. I used to chow down after I got home from school. But then I have always loved food in general. I just wanted to go home, eat something , get a coke and watch tv or listen to music in my room. She is nothing like I was at her age. She wants to come home and be sociable and talk about everything that happened at school. When my parents asked about school I would always answer with either, "it was fine" or "nothing". LOL But then until about 11th grade I hated school.
I am thinking I am going to limit sugar and caffeine and try to keep a record of how she acts. I don't know, it just depends on how into it I want to get. I do know for sure that I am going to make a rule that no one is allowed to wake up before 10 am. Anyone that does will be severely punished. This does not include Carey since he will have to work.
Wish me luck for the summer. I am totally going to need it.
