RETIRED: Target chit chat

The original dx for him was Asperger's and the ADHD-CT. The latter has always fit him but the first not so much. It took a couple of years and a LOT of research on my part (and friend's help) to figure out exactly what was going on. You know how it is as a mother though. You know when something just isn't right and you don't rest until you find out what's wrong.

The problem is, there aren't many doctors, counselors, or specialists of any kind that are all too familiar with SM. We were VERY lucky with this school in that the diagnostician actually has a very close friend whose daughter also has SM. If it wasn't for her, and my own knowledge, he'd have a very difficult educational road ahead of him.

Even at a young age I knew that something just wasn't right. Tanner never slept through the night. And, by that I mean, he would either stay up ALL night or he'd get up a bazillion times a night. The pedi kept saying he'd outgrow it. Everytime I brought it up he'd find a reason. By the time he was 2 and still up all night I knew that wasn't normal. Actually, it took having my 2nd baby to finally see what was normal and what wasn't. He has always had a speech impairment and no amount of speech therapy has really helped. Maturity and repetition is what has helped.

He's very unique. I love him more than my own life. I would do anything for him. I just get so exhausted with his antics and such that I have to blow off steam somewhere.

I feel bad about writing all of this out (and worry about judgement) so please let me know if this isn't the place for it and I'll delete it.

Target said it didn't know about the coupon problem until WCCO called them. Reached by phone on Monday afternoon, Target spokesperson Jenn Glass said, "We are working on a fix. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our guests.

How can they be working on a fix if they didn't know about the problem?

Wasn't there someone in deals who spent a lot of time making sure they knew about this problem? I'll go back and look....

Found it here.

This is in no way the first time they've been told this.

Wow dd - I'm sorry to hear that you've had such a hard time with him. He sounds like a very special boy. He is lucky to have a mama that cares so much about him.

Back to L&L - Did you get the regular book or the young kids edition? I would highly recommend the later since your kids are still little.

And don't worry about this not being the place... we're all here for you!

Did you guys see the linky [wcco.com] that ladycat posted over in deals?

Interesting link. I can say I've never had that happen to me. Thank goodness. Sounds like more glitches in their system. Perhaps they should just go back to their old system. It worked much better

I remember those days. I could NEVER fall asleep BEFORE ds. I had to be sure he fell asleep first or who knew what he would be up to. Every now and again I was too tired to stay awake and would fall asleep first and he would ALWAYS take full advantage of it.

One night I woke to find him sitting on the dining room table with a big can of coffee, throwing coffee grounds all over the room and saying "whee" at the same time

And when he didn't do anything destructive, he would leave me subtle and no-so-subtle hints to let me know he had been up during the night. One of his favorite things to do was open all the blinds in the house, so that when I got up I would wonder 'didn't I close them before bed?" the other was to fill all the glasses with soapy water and put them in the fridge. I thought I would go insane

I agree. For me, I finally learned to tell myself that my way isn't how they do things in Holland (our phrase for his view of the world). Every time he asks me to convert how many hours or days until something occurs, into seconds, I have to remember that in his world, seconds are understandable but hours aren't. He has become so much less aggressive and much more even tempered since I started homeschooling. I think he was just so frustrated by the time the end of the school day came around, and I bore the brunt of it (as you wrote, dreem).

Teri, I haven't had to deal with those issues. My ds just wanted me to keep him company.

The point is, they said they didn't know about the problem, but at the same time, they said they are working on a fix.

Can you say, "LIARS!". ?

How stupid do they think we are?

well, they think they are smart but we've always been smarter. bwahahahaha

Rachael You need to have your little one either on November 18th (my b-day) or November 19th (my ds's birthday)... HUGS!!

I'm not yet sure if this will turn into a good thing or more of a headache. Probably a bit of both. Headache at first while this is all fresh in minds of those at T with just enough mis-information to get it wrong. Then better as computers are fixed and stink dies down.

The only thing left for T to try is let it go in as $4..

Hi Ladies

I would like to thank everyone for the well wishes for DH... he did great in surgery... although they had to break part of his backbone... makes me cringe thinking about it but he is OK but in pain. Today was a very LONG day (awoke at 2:45am to make sure we could get to the hospital that is an hour and a half away). So we get there and got stuck there until 7ish tonight... I can NOT believe that back surgery is an outpatient procedure... maddness and the chaos the insurance companies have done to our healthcare system... maddness!!
