Really Long Day

[Guest guest]

again. It was ugly this morning. I'm glad was home or it

would have been bad. He was tantrumming, posturing and making

agressive motions, yelling, etc. I blocked his path as he went for

(a friend) and he tried to go through me. He tried to wrestle

me and I ended up putting him on the ground where he tried to bite

me. That's when I called for . It was not pretty but since

was still home it didn't disintegrate. Later grabbed my arms

and tried to stop me from leaving the house because I still wasn't

letting him have his way, but by then had cancelled his day and

was right there to take care of it. It was a day of divide and

manage for the most part.

has an appointment tomorrow with a therapist and his

psychiatrists office has been notified and has his file all ready to

fax to the therapist when we go to the appointment.

For afternoon entertainment I did eighteen loads of laundry at the

laundromat while sat in the van and played his gameboy. It was

the only way to get caught up. I still have to hang up about four

loads of hang dry things, and put away the rest, but at least it is

clean.

I left a message for Chris's teacher, and I guess we will see what

tomorrow brings. During all this we missed three appointments today

for various things. Oh well. Guess I'll take care of that tomorrow

also.

I am really glad was home this morning. I could not have

handled him. What next?
