A few updates

BM is getting better. She has completed her mandatory 30 days inpatient at the Psych Hospital. Was supposed to transfer to jail for a 30 day sentence. Her doctors and lawyers got together with the Judge who was extremely kind and overrode his own decision.

I am sure most adult women know this. Most men likely know it as well. Just as a precaution we adults might want to share this bit of wisdom with the children in our lives.

** If one runs out of dishwasher soap, you do the dishes by hand. Wash, dry, put away. One does not decide to use Dawn in the dishwasher in an effort to get out of doing dishes by hand.**

Question:

I need advise.

Subject in question is a 4 year old male child who has not had the easiest life. He apparently has severe separation anxiety. Attempts to leave him at day care resulted in a crying fit that had him vomiting then hypervenilating until he nearly passed out.

Crying fit does not seem to be attention seeking, more along the lines of stark terror. So experienced moms: how would one overcome this level of anxiety/ fear so the child can be left at day care?

Update on BM

The bad news: BM is ill. She has a diagnosis to go with her condition/behaviors/actions, one that frankly if not managed correctly can lead into a spiral that will have her at the bottom incredibly quickly.

The good news: It is manageable. She is starting to respond to treatment, her doctors allowed her to have telephone contact with the skids yesterday. SO will be taking the kids to visit with her on Sunday so they can see her/ she can see them.

Natural Consequences

I posted last night that DD got her pet. Mr Floppy, a lop eared bunny with ear size of epic proportions joined the family yesterday. Adopted from the local humane society.

She asked once last night if he could sleep with her. Nope. He sleeps in his cage. Well apparently at some point in the middle of the night DD got Mr Floppy out of his cage and took him to bed with her.

DD has her pet!

We went to the humane society this afternoon and found Mr. Floppy. If I uploaded the picture right he should be in the upper right hand corner Smile

He is 5 pounds and loves to snuggle into laps and watch TV. Carrots he likes, but we also got him bedding, a nice cage, food, vitamins and "toys" for him to gnaw on to ensure his teeth don't get too long.

On the subject of dogs:

I realize this is a sore subject today, but I need advice.

DD wants a pet, unfortunately the pet rock I got her did not meet apparently her criteria of 'pet'. (Apparently it needs to breath and have fur- who knew?) DD definately did not see the humor in it.

I like cats, hate cat litter boxes. I have not had a dog since I was a child. DD has mild allergies, I have heard rumers there are "low dander/shedding" breeds that are available. Low energy would also be good (I am getting old!)

Anyone know anything about low dander/shedding? Is this fact or fallacy?

BM committed for a psych eval and treatment.

This is not a post slamming BM. Today is court was horrible. Beyond a train wreck. It was a first hand look at seeing someones mental faculties unravel and you are totally powerless; incapable of stopping the disaster unfolding before you.

DBM's day in court ended with BM being remanded to the local Psychiatric Hospital for a full 30 day evaluation. Must spend 30 days in patient. This sentence was handed down after she told the judge to "F*ck off you aint got no powwa ova me."

Update from the court house- otherwise known as grand centra station for the Karma train

BM walked in, saw SO and I sitting on the prosecutions side for the prosecution. She.went.nuts.

Full out shrieking hissy fit, slapped SO, tried to hit me. Bailiffs hauled her out of the room already. Arrested for assault IN the court room for a hearing assusing her of aggrevated stalking on another.

Today should be entertaining at least!
