On the way out the door, I told Ted to try to have a good day and not to say anything he didn't mean. Ted said, "I learned my lesson with that stuff." Probably because I had him "reflect" all weekend in his room. He was allowed to read and write and rest, and I did let him out to help me with some chores and at one point to play in the snow. But I felt I needed to keep a pretty close eye on him, and that was the best way for both of us, being snowbound. He took it like a champ and only tried to smuggle hot chocolate out of the kitchen once. Though he did straight up lie to stepdad about what he was doing. Stepdad caught him and he lied to his face and I thought stepdad may stroke out.
I did speak with his therapist yesterday on the phone, and I have weaned him off his medicine. It didn't do any good, and if anything hindered him. So we have an appointment with his meds doc on Feb 2. Funny though when I was speaking to his therapist yesterday she acted super upset I weaned T off his medication. I felt like saying listen lady, I know my stuff and how to do this and the boy is seven. It is completely my right to wean him off a medication that I feel is hurting him. No need for me to wait till Feb 2 and "roll the dice". But mama kept her cool.
So we shall see what today brings, Bloggy? I have enough laundry and vacuuming to do that it looks like mama may have another inside day. For cripes sake. (I might have made that expression up just now but plan to use it incessantly today).
Hugs, world.
Back in the innocent days.
