Things Are Looking Up

Things are really looking up. I refuse to be anything but optimistic about everything.

Yesterday, we suffered through an ill-scheduled doctor's appointment that fell right smack dab in the middle of the babies naptime.

Bregon got to witness the entire thing and listen to them scream and be fussy and sad.

He was able to feel that little twinge of guilt that crept in when we went to the baby gate at ten o'clock and the babies all joyfully ran with us, thinking that they were getting to go upstairs for a much-needed nap.

They were so sad and upset when they discovered that we wanted them to go outside and get into the van for a car-ride instead of going upstairs to the nursery for their much anticipated nap.

Bregon had a hard lesson of how his actions affect others for most of the day, starting with that incident.

We had a wonderful time at the doctor's office, however. We parties in the lobby with a dear friend of ours and his daughter.

We shared our goldfish snacks with her and made her smile a lot! She has such a beautiful smile!

Then we visited with our nurses and talked about how they haven't had to see us all winter long because we have been virtually in hiding from the sick people.

We visited with our doctor a bit, too. She opted to try Bregon on a medication that he had when he first was diagnosed with ADHD.

The medication basically deals in pretty much focus only, so maybe it will help.

He feels really positive about it and remembers it fondly as what helped him get his first ever super good report card.

Maybe it will be the motivation and help that he needs, who knows. If not, the doctor has a master plan that will hopefully help us out before we have wasted an entire school year.

Right now, we are only focusing on the positive with Bregon in hopes that he can turn things around and start going forward.

After the doctor's appointment, we ran through the drive-thru and got some lunch, and headed home to let the babies nap.

I didn't make him go back to school because he only would have been there for his elective courses and activity period and that seemed sort of silly.

Besides, our limo-sized stroller just does not fit into the office well at all. That door slams on them and we take up the entire room it seems.

We made a very uneventful Target run after naptime to get his new prescription filled.

There, I picked up a little of what I call, "Freedom in a box" in hopes of being able to get my kids out to do mundane things like taking a walk or going to the park without fear of danger.

Over all it was a pleasant day. I was feeling so good, in fact, that Bregon and I decided to mop the living and dining room floors.

Today of all things, my old employer from before I had the triplets called, and asked me if I would like to work from home for them.

I do not know if the program will work out as being permanent, but it will certainly help out.

Besides, it's good to feel loved and wanted and remembered after almost three years of not being around them.

I am excited about getting to work again. It's doing something that I really used to enjoy doing.

So, maybe things are looking up after all! We are only going to think positive thoughts and be optimistic from this point out!

Well, it does sound good, in theory anyways!
