There is such a strong energetic connection; Buddhists call it a karmic connection.<br /><br />As for having mood/emotion-swings, oh, I know that so well, because depression can get very irritable. Sometimes it's just enduring someone, or just getting out of here before I lose it. Fortunately, I don't have a life where I get stuck with someone irritating. It really takes a lot of coping skills.

He might be bored because he doesn't understand the way the teacher is "teaching" it. I know we had all kinds of problems with our son in the mainstream school, because he was way smarter than the stuff they were teaching him, which made him bored, and then act out. He also couldn't cope in the classroom environment. It was too stimulating, which made him unable to focus on his school work. I'm not saying you should do it, as it's a BIG decision, but we found that home schooling was the BEST thing we did for him. I mean, who else but us parents know the best how their little brains work?Alittlespritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993327218382325674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-59096715216623835742012-03-07T17:28:36.603-05:002012-03-07T17:28:36.603-05:00I thought you were going to post on how you freake...I thought you were going to post on how you freaked out during the school meeting...oh wait that was me last week!<br />I find Sarah and I are completely miserable around the same time - hormones in the house make her crazy!Michelle Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-67571314425418567662012-03-07T14:10:49.379-05:002012-03-07T14:10:49.379-05:00Hmmm, think our little international community, th...Hmmm, think our little international community, the Martyrs to Our Blessed Hormones Sisterhood, seem to be in crazy sync - I feel like a total bitch and that can only mean one thing... Cos obviously I'm a delight the rest of the time. <br />I have been guilty of the unnecessary and over-emotional yelling at the kids, the moaning and griping about stuff that would usually make me laugh, the "it's not my fucking homework, I DID my homework, and now I know EVERYTHING" diatribe as I walk out of the room on the whining kids who can't be arsed to do theirs.<br />Sigh... Oh Karen, pass me the Doritos please. I want to get to the rainbows-and-unicorns-and bunnies place now, I'm tired of being a cow.<br />PS. I am now using "hoot" on a regular basis, you'll be pleased to know. It's not really a term used much here in the UK but I am officially adopting it on behalf of my British sisters.

Then I lost it and told her to put on any old shoes which was CLEARLY the wrong answer so I wound up saying Fuck it to hell and back I'm getting in the car with or without you kids. To which Alex starts laughing and saying--hehe, moms' going to go to school by herself....and then I rounded on him and Oh Lord please make it stop. <br />AND THEN I had to send in a note to the teacher that the kids may be a little off all because mommy started her period this morning and went ape all over the kids. See, see what hell this is?!? Someone come over here and please remove my uterus.
