Ever have days when you wonder why you got up?

Today started as a tired morning. We went to the Topsfield Fair lastnight. There wasn't really many people there. We dressed warm with a few layers. Gotta tell ya though my two kids were the only kids with mittens or gloves on. That was probably the smartest thing I did yesterday. It was cold but the kids had fun. But it can be costly to ride those rides and play those games they have. Twenty tickets for twenty dollars. Doesn't sound bad except the rides each cost 3 or 4 tickets a piece. So far a family it can be expensive. I bought the 20 tickets and Emma and I went on the tornado. Nothing fancy a ride that spins you. Zachary and I went through a haunted mansion. He walked through with his head down while I felt for the way out. Really kind of stupid. Then he and Emma went on a ride through a different Haunted Mansion. The only two on the ride and Emma came out in tears and po'd at me. Yup all my fault.

So we were tired getting up today. Zach had homework to finish up. Emma had to have her hair fixed for picture day. Got all that accomplished and were just about ready and Zach threw up on the rug. What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I admit it--I absolutley lost it.

For those that don't know or are not up to date. Zach has thrown up almost everyday at school since we've started. We've been through this before but it passed. Whether it's his nerves or thinks it may get him out of school, or attention I don't know. I do know it needs to stop and STOP NOW!!!! I can't take to much more.

The school is working with him and collecting data. The computer is being used as a positive reinforcement there. No throw up you can have 15 minutes of computer time at the end of the day. He loves to be on the computer and research and of course print.

But I tell ya this kid is killing me! To be in his brain for a day, a few hours even a few minutes just to see what is going on. Yes I know things could be much worse. We each have our own problems-I know. But today Im frustrated and aggravated and thought I might as well share.
