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 very exciting!!!!
dyk interesting
dyk and our date of being there isn't in the forcast yet - but I just realized I have no idea what happens if our excursion gets rained out -- it's a resort -- outdoor pool, swim up bar, buffet and private beach chairs, water toys, etc
ME: Abigail, you need to get back in your bed
Abi: What about if I just go outside?
ME: You cannot go outside. You need to get back in bed.
Abi: But what about me going outside?
ME: Do you think you can go outside?
ABi: Yeah.
ME: What makes you think you can go outside. I told you to get in bed.
Abi: Well, I need to go outside... to get a phone number.. for my backpack.. and into the school.
ME: No, you cannot go outside. Abigail, go get back in your bed.
Abi: But what about me going outside?
dyk she was up about 6:30am -- a good normal wake up time (as opposed to 3 or 4:30am)
dyk my mom gave her her skin med and her ADHD med.
dyk and it didn't matter
dyk Abi was already well past 3 strikes by the time I got there just before 10am
dyk she REPEATEDLY picked up my niece Lexi -- 7 weeks old
dyk by the time I threw in the towel and just came home, she had been separated from the other kids (Dek and Jadyn and Ellie) about 4 times, had run out onto the dock without a life jacket, torn apart a feather boa, left messes everywhere -- puzzles dumped out, markers skewed about, clothing trails, not clearing dishes or drinks to the sink after eating, she'd been demanding, intense, disobedient, grumpy, and she scratched Dek's face.
dyk after we got home and I gathered myself (I cried all the way home and for about an hour once we got here) I tried to go talk to Abi -- and it was pointless
dyk it's almost as if she doens't even recall or realize??? how she's behaving.
dyk I was trying to talk to her about her hurting my feelings and why I was mad and how she would have a consequence that she would be in her room this afternoon b/c we had to come home from Gigi's and she didn't seem to be upset, sad, contrite -- nothing.
dyk she didn't even look at me, she kept drawing and when I finally slapped the chalk away and made her look at me and told her again she would be in her room she got cranky and whine-shouted "But what about MY DINNER?"
dyk ugh.
dyk Thanks Cathy
