First Blog

Ok, so my friend Jennifer has a blog and I figured why not. It does get a lot of emotions out and you can vent a little, right?

We welcome first of all! Not sure how often I will post, but will try to keep things up to date.

My daughter, Cydney, and I live in Newburgh. She is a very active 3 year old who loves to keep me on my toes. She is in preschool and I work for Berry Plastics full-time, she loves her school and likewise I love my job.

Cyd and I have been through a lot in her 3 years, it's been pretty crazy since she has been born. She was not always healthy which is stressful in it's self. She had to have tubes put in well before she was 1 and then tonsils and adenoids came out this past spring. Now we are battling new things, she is very smart. Which I know...your kid is smart that is great, well let me tell ya that having a child that is very smart is not always easy. She doesn't communicate well with children her age, therefore causing problems as you could imagine. She is very aggressive at times too, she likes to kick and hit.

I have seen a therapist about her, and the first thought was that she has Aspergers disorder. That is a form of autism, a high spectrum form. After the therapist was able to meet with Cyd for the first time, she quickly said that if she has it, it's so mild that it shouldn't cause any problems. However, she said that Cyd is very smart and intellectual and this is causing most of her problems. So in a few weeks we go to see another specialist and see what they think. Hoping to soon get the K-ABC test done to see where she really stands right now. Wanting to get this taken care of before she enters into elementary school and gets made fun of.

As for me, well I try to take it day by day. I have fibromyalgia, a torn disc in my low spine, and some vitamin deficiencies. Yet somehow every day I manage to be at work even when I feel like I am not going to make it all day. Well I know how I manage, the grace of God has led me through all of this and He will continue to do so.

Well my work phone is ringing...hope everyone has a great day!
