  1. I can so relate ( and sympathize). My dd (12) is exactly the same way. We just had a similar conversation re: Head & Shoulders being a shampoo...NOT a body wash to be used up in 2 showers.... :glare: Good Luck! Vickie
  2. I know exactly how you feel (from one dental assistant to another). I would definetly bump the front desk lady - you know the Dr., contact him directly AND ask about the charges. Drs always give better discounts than the front desk!! Good Luck! Vickie
  3. Would love to join - but I am more of a lurker! Evergreen Sue, I am so sorry . You and your family are in my prayers Vickie
  4. She doesn't like anything. If it is something she "has" to do; school, chores, even showers. It's a struggle, she needs to be micro- managed or she will not "do" anything. It's so complicated with her, I know I can not explain it well in a post. I think I just need to vent. Ugh! Vickie
  5. Ladies, I need some help, alot of help. This is our first year of homeschooling, we started at a very slow pace in August. My dd (12) is complicated, to say the least, she has CAPD. She doesn't like school in any way, shape or form. She would rather suffer any consequence ( no screen time, no weekend activities, no extra-cirricular, ect...) We have tried it all and she just will NOT co-operate. At this moment she is in bed, because she was given the choice to get math done or go to bed. If I make her "do" it she does them all wrong, purposely. We have been very clear with her, that school work must be done, that is is not an option. Yet everyday our work takes 3x as long as it should. We are putting in at least 8 hours a day to accomplish approx. 3-4 hours of study. I am at the end of my rope. I can not make her do it. When I do MAKE her, it is not constructive at all, she does not try at any subject, I *think* she's trying to push me over the edge, so I will send her back to school. She has been told that it is not an option, but her actions seem to be testing it. Does this seem like a power struggle to you? If I could understand it, maybe I could come up with a better plan. I do not know what to do. Any advice, opinions or prayers would be greatly appreciated Thanks Vickie
  6. praying for you and your family ~
  7. My dh and I will be doing our "last chance" fertility procedure tomorrow. Although this has been 100% God lead, I am so anxious about this being THE LAST ONE, I can't help but ask for more prayers. We truly believe that God has this in His hands, as so many things had to fall in place, just to get us to this point. And it did, every detail. So tomorrow at 11:30, I will have my last iui done. The hardest part of all of this is that we believe we are following God's will, and if it isn't successful, I know I will question what I thought to be His direction. I am very blessed with 3 miracles, we thought we were done. We had one cycle left after our last ds, so this is IT. We have prayed through each decision, each obstical and God has provided at each turn. Our odds are statistically small, but we know with God nothing is impossible. Thanks for reading through my nervous vent, no one IRL knows we are doing this or I'd be rambling to them and wouldn't have to bother you guys! Thanks again.
  8. First thing to pop into my head...DH and I had headaches simultaneously for 3 days, turns out we had a Carbon Monoxide leak - Hoping its not that for you , but thougt I'd throw it out there, just in case. Vickie
  9. :grouphug: I have a dd11 just like yours...been on your ledge, too! AND I have a protective D's 3!!! Oh, I pray we survive!! Vickie
  10. Thanks tor the great update. Continued prayers for the family . :grouphug:
  11. Another thing I forgot to mention... Although you will WANT pain meds, should you see a medical doctor, make sure they give you an antibiotic too. The pain meds won't be effective if you are not treating the infection. An abcess is painful because of the trapped infection. I bet you are getting some relief because it is draining through the area's of decay ( you wouldn't necessarily notice it) . Vickie
  12. I vote dentist first. Especially if you are sensitive to anything hot or if cool ( like drinking water) helps - definite signs of abscess. Along with your TMD pain, I 'd bet on it. Call your dentist before the pain comes and DOESN'T "GO "! You will reach that point with an abcess. Vickie
  13. Ladies, Thanks so much for the replies! For the record, the lady was a shopper, not an employee. I was upset because dd was so upset, but she takes things very hard. She said she felt like she was in trouble and she did something wrong, but "I was just picking out slime!":D I know some of it is her processing disorder and some of it is the lack of confidence as a homeschooler. We are working on both. She now knows to direct all questions like that to the adult she is with. (And the adult (aka my sister) knows she better handle things much better if there is a next time! My sis was just kind of dumbstruck at the nerve of a stranger and more concerned how it effected dd. Thanks again! It's things like this I wouldn't anyone else to go to without the Hive! Vickie
