Manic Mornings

Every morning here is a struggle to get Riana ready for school - she argues with me at every turn and creates simple chaos - although we have a simple to follow routine there are mornings that you can just tell the routine is in jeopardy and today was one of them. It makes me wary of being a stay at home mom for the entire summer. We have started some counseling though and I am positive it will help Riana work through whatever issues she is having.

MY COVER HAS ARRIVED


Here is the official cover for Mohican Lake... I am beside myself with pleasure

La Pensee

Riana has her open house for La Pensee tonight. Russell most likely won't be going with us as he is working on the other side of the state today. I would like him to be there, but it seems his job keeps him from a lot of the things that I deem important to the family.

I have also contacted a place to get Riana set up in counseling as I really think that she needs it and I am hoping that it will help her relationships with everyone, not just the animosity she feels towards me.

Neglecting My Blog

I have once again gotten so wrapped up in absolutely nothing that I have been ignoring my blog. Mohican Lake is waiting for it's cover-art to come in from PA and the wait is nearly killing me. But I do have a few random thoughts about those things that are driving me crazy.....

How can I learn to have paitence in all aspects of my life, when it was once of the virtues I was born without......

How can I be a great and effective parent to a child who does not care, or have the slighest regard for anything I say....

How can we teach this child to become an upstanding member of society.....

How can a foster parent help but fall in love with a baby they have nurtured from their release from the hospital, especially when said child could be going back to their bio parents.........

Are depression, medicinal eating, binge eating and anxiety the cause of my health/weight problems - or are my weight problems the casue of my depression, medicinal and binge eating and anxiety.....hmmmmmmmmm
