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 uuuuuuuuuuuugh I had worried about this:

dyk both kids are STILL AWAKE

dyk and that is the reason I was leery (though hopeful) of the afternoon boost doses of ADHD meds

dyk tomorrow I will half it again, although Abi's didn't even seem to work that great this evening.

dyk but right when she got home, we went to my mom's and were there from 4:15 to almost 6:30 so that was a big change in routine

dyk we'll try again tomorrow

dyk I just gave Abi a bowl of cereal

dyk, remind me to never make Jennie mad

dyk, I realize that she has no clue where to find me, but I have complete faith that she WOULD find me

dyk, and set me on fire

dyk the more we study Abi the more we learn and then the more we can adjust and control (her environment, not her) and the better she will manage and learn and grow

dyk it's just SO MUCH INFORMATION

dyk I mean, I need to be aware of the freakin' phases of the moon -- b/c new moon and FULL moon are problems in this house

dyk I have never, nor would I ever, set anyone on fire!!!

dyk I am very tactful, and polite -- unless I am given too long to think about something... as I have with her overdosing Alish on insulin AGAINST specific instructions that were verbal, written, on record and repeated via email repeatedly

dyk it's medicine and she was DAILY giving her 3X as much as needed in the morning.

dyk luckily, the huge gap in grades "spoke volumes" to the testers

dyk and we had told them math was an area of high interest and success

dyk and the science grade is low b/.c it requires a lot of the same skills as reading -- and the testers (spec ed dept) said no worries on the grades as this is all PRE-IEP and to be expected given our struggles and what she'll need in terms of modifications for instructions and workload

dyk, the whole missing work thing is so obvious

dyk, I figured out my co-worker was pregnant about a month before she told me. How? Doctors appointments & in very late every day (she had horrible morning sickness)

dyk, the co-worker that I know is pregnant (that no one else knows about) I figured out from the sudden doctors appointments.

dyk, the one that us currently pregnant was so easy, she still holds onto some traditions (she's Chinese) and her husbands family expected her to get pregnant within a month of their wedding. She did.

dyk, now she just better hope it's a buy or her mother in law will be very angry
