*cough* *cough*
So, where did I leave off?
Oh, my ankle. It healed up well. Thanks for asking. After two days I was good as new.
Halloween was fantastic. Craftiness ran rampant.
(More pics on Flickr. Ya hafta be a contact to see the kids in costume otherwise you'll have to settle for anonymous random photos.)
I hosted a toddler costume party on Tuesday (8 toddlers and their Moms. I KNOW!), took Gretel to storytime/haunted house event at our local library on Wed and went trick-or-treating with the Pumpkin War neighbors. Cinderella ditched us in favor of going out with her friends. *sigh* We've lost her. ;)
The kids made out like bandits. BUT... I had to throw away ALL of the candy yesterday after eating a suspicious tasting Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! (Tasted like COUGH MEDICINE. WTF?!?!?!?)
And since we pool all the candy into one bucket, there was no way to know where it came from, if it was malicious or not. Raising kids today is scary. And that pisses me off. I had to promise Hansel that we would replace the candy with something safer. He was so sad. And *that* pissed me off more.
Hansel's had three headaches this month. Stayed home from school twice. We're contemplating taking him to a neurologist to rule out anything major and to confirm our suspicions that he's developing migraines.
Prince Charming and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary last weekend. Dinner and a movie. No kids. YAY!
Maleficent is up to her antics again (still) and is violating the terms of her visitation every chance she gets. Cinderella's law guardian, the appointed mediator for when such problems occur, has been MIA and very lax in her duties leaving PrinceCharming between a rock and a hard place. Court seems inevitable, but no progress has been made in that department. Where does that leave us? Helpless. Paralyzed. Forced to accept things on Maleficent's terms, waiting at the door for when she decides to come and get Cinderella (she is late every time) and never knowing when she will bring her home (again, late every time). I'm trying not to let it dominate my days, but it's so hard.
And remember when I posted about this? Yeah, well I'm beginning to think it may be more.

I suffered from migraines for 32 years (since I was 12 years old), finally after 54 doctors, 3 surgeries, braces twice, splints, etc. I found help: http://www.smithctr.com/headaches.htm
It's so simple, yet none of my other specialist thought about it.
Good luck with Hansel.
Linda,
Thanks so much for this resource! We'll be sure to check this out both for Hansel, as well as Prince Charming (who has been a long-term sufferer and seen many docs to no avail).

when you say you think it could be more, i'm sorry. I know I haven't known you long (hell, I don't even know your "real name") but from what I do know of your past and your current maleficent situation any form of depression is understandable. Don't let it go on too long. You don't have to be miserable or depressed.
