I "think" I have my period. I say "think" because Last month, the same day I started my diet adventure, I had an iud put in. Normally I have a heavy period. This past month I had a few things of minimal spotting and that was it and my period "should" have been here last week. So yesterday I had slightly heavier spotting so I"m assuming this may be my period. I go tomorrow to have my iud checked so I guess we'll see what's what then. But yesterday I was out for blood and if I knew for a fact that I could get away with a PMS defense I would have destroyed a few people.
My son Cobi who will be 13 in August has ADHD and Asperger syndrome. Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported. Basically, this is the highest functioning form of Autism. People that have this disorder are usually geniuses and extreemely well spoken. The problem is that something in their brains makes them miss social cues (like empathy, making appropriate eye contact etc) and that they tend to focus on few topics of interest. They also have an OCD behavior. My son's is food. He obsesses about it (and video games and cars...those are his 3 choice topics) and must eat at the same time everyday (he does adjust to the school schedule yearly without problems since they eat a different times). His body is like a clock. He will ask, everyday at 11:45 for lunch. No matter where we are and even if he has no clue what time it is. He must eat first thing every morning (this is now a weekend thing, it took years but I convinced him that on school days it's fine to wait until he gets to school for breakfast there). Of all this disorders that he could possibly have, this is the one that is the best. He was recently diagnosed when through his therapist. we started going to a therapist because he started doing poorly in school. I've known for years he's had ADHD but we always managed to avoid medication and help correct somet things with his diet and self-control. But this year he started falling behind in school. He is in 7th grade and things get much more difficult so we decided to start counseling and see a psychiatrist to work on things and get medication. So the therapist suspected the Aspergers and it was confirmed later by the shrink. I knew he was socially awkward, but never in a million years expected this. So anyway......
Yesterday Cobi had an appointment with his shrink to go over his medication (he's still in the process of working up to the correct dose, they start slowly and let the body adjust... I like this). I had to pick him up at school at 3. School gets out at 3:20. I was picking him up 20 min before school let out you would "assume" to get him at the office right? So I pulled up to the school to find that there was no parking in front of the school because it was filled with buses. So I parked around back and huffed it to the front of the school. Walked in and they say "oh he's in the back of the school waiting for you". I bit my tongue and walked back around. I got there and signed him out and he wasn't there waiting as they stated. They paged him. I waited 5 min. No Cobi. They paged him again. I waited another 5 min and he finally showed up. He said they were supposed to give him a slip to give to the teacher to excuse him early and they didn't so he assumed he was supposed to get on the bus. He said he didn't hear the page because the classroom was so noisy. Apparently he had gotten on the bus and someone told him they heard the page to report for parent pick up. I now had 8 min to get 2 towns over. I took backroads and what happens? I get stuck behind some stupid woman driving 25 in a 40 and no passing. Worse yet the dumb broad couldnt even stay in the lines. Yes the road was curvey but she was going 25mph. I tailgated her ass til she pulled over. Horrible I know, but it worked. By that time I was already a min. late. Then I hit construction. Then I hit every red light. Then there's no parking. We finally arrive 10 min late and of course the dr wasn't ready. So we waited 10 more minutes. I was literally ready to slap someone. (particuarly that woman that couldn't follow the speed limit or someone in the schools office staff).
Today I'm feeling bloated and still bitchy. Tomorrow is weigh in. I do believe I lost at least 2 lbs, but if the scale doesnt reflect a loss at all, a gain or a small loss I will accept that next week will be a super good loss because I'm most likely having tom issues.
