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 that post about Abi resting would probably make more sense if I told you that as of today, I added a 3rd dose of 5mg short acting ADHD meds (same medicine she takes at 7 and 11:45 but short acting instead of extended release and a much, much smaller dose)


dyk it's so great that you got everything figured out with Abi

dyk and it has to have made a big difference in all aspects of all the lives in your home

dyk Praise God!

dyk lol nancy I don't know that I'd go as far as to say we've got everything figured out

dyk but we difinitely know now just HOW sensitive she is to dosages in regard to her growing and I am still not convinced we have her anxiety managed AT ALL

dyk but some of that comes apparently with a mania cycle and so we're doing what we can

dyk meanwhile, she did well getting ready for school today

dyk we're trying trying trying to just get over her having to have her own idea about everything -- it's not just your typical self absorbed little girl -- it's the intensity and infelxibility that comes with it that really puts it over the edge -- and us! haha

dyk and we've already done away with the 3rd dose -- haha

dyk turns out with her morning and afternoon dosages increased, she doesn't need a booster dose in the afternoon and that really is better for her

dyk we have kept the 5mg short acting that we are using to sort of get her engine going in the morning

dyk in fact I need to call doc and get a script for that to keep it as routine

dyk from the carnival.com website on eating on board

We do offer gluten free bread, pasta, cake and pancake mix. They are readily available onboard.

dyk I cried -- actually teared up emotionally -- relief being the emotion that this is an option -- I mean I CAN do without the cake and pancakes, etc, but it is AWESOME that on vacation I don't have to!

dyk I'm gonna need to eat a HUGE stack of pancakes the morning of our Cozumel resort day to soak up all the tequila I will be consuming, HAHA

dyk actually I like rum.

dyk Sean is not allowed to pack a single piece of DENIM for the cruise --

dyk its taken me SEVEN years to get that man out of jeans -- ALL THE TIME

dyk I got him some HUGO BOSS shorts that were $115 but I spent $24 -- yeah baby -- he wore them in San Francisco and he has come to realize that the right shorts can be comfortable and are better at the beach and in summer than jeans

dyk whew!
