DYK- September Days Are Here

Helen Hunt Jackson- September Poem
The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down;
The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun;
The sedges flaunt their harvest
In every meadow nook,
And asters by the brookside
Make asters in the brook;
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies–
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather
And autumn’s best of cheer.

dyk Jean Smart is playing the hardass DA on Harry's Law and I could not place her ---
dyk she's the ex-wife on Bringing Down the House -- one of my favorite movies
Dyk I hope you and steve have fun on your date! A concert and picnic sound fun (and romantic)!
dyk so I am open to ANY ideas -- ANYTHING that will help me get up in the morning before 7am
dyk of course, Abi was up at 430 so WTF
dyk She is just driving me insane -- our entire household.
dyk Already this morning she's done more strange, disruptive, unacceptable things (dumping cereal on the carpet, pouring apple juice on the ants, pulling the phone cord out of the wall, pestering Dek so he didn't get ready 4 school) than most kids do in a year.
and I totally snappedI was SO MEAN I told her that I didn't care what she wanted, what she thought, what she said, she was 7 she would do what she was told -- and she got a spanking (smacked on the butt with the hairbrush)
dyk each day I have tried to learn a little about bipolar -- in men and pediatric bipolar
dyk here is what I am reading about today -- pediatric bipolar disorder -- "mania"
dyk the RED portions are what we've been dealing with for NINE MONTHS NOW -- sometimes emerging OVER her medication, so I can't imagine where we'd be this mania go round without her meds
dyk and this is interesting too -- we haven't gone public with the bipolar stuff with Abi -- only a handful of family and close close friends have been looped in -- so I am talking about it here, lol
dyk it's not a secret -- I am just not ready for the questions yet and the "concern"
dyk so check this little tidbit out -- and the red is what we CURRENTLY as in the last year have a formal diagnosis of:
Diagnoses that mimic, mask, or co-occur with pediatric bipolar disorder include:
dyk and our constant talking about Abi and the issues and what we do well, what we do wrong, it has helped a lot of people -- and we've become a resource to other families and really built a supportive network that way
dyk I don't know why this is different
dyk Sean told our small group about starting his bipolar journey this past Sunday and I had a twinge of "oh no! I can't believe he shared that" but it was just a twinge. I was surprised he told them though.
dyk because he's not usually all "sharey"
