Ashley and Jordie went to Gatlinburg Valentines weekend for a little getaway and they (especially Jordie HeHe) obviously had a fun time!!! I think he was doing the happy dance since they were in Gatlinburg in a fabulous cabin to boot!!!
Not much going on around here except some sickness. My Tori has been home for 3 days with a terrible sinus infection YUCK!!! But I think she is safe to go back to school tomorrow. YiPPee!!
A little update on her testing....We went to the doctor for her sinus infection so I decided to talk to her doctor about the issues we have been having. She said for us to get her tested through a psychologist and then the school would have to immediately test her. So that is what we are in the process of doing now. Our insurance will cover 80% of the visit but if she does in fact have a learning disability they won't pay after that ruling. But if she has some kind of personality disorder they will cover up to 45 visits a year. I told hubby they would probably want to see us 100 times per year the way me and her get along. Ha! Just kidding. Anyway, it feels good to finally having some kind of progress. Her first appt. is March 11 for a consultation. Thanks for all the prayers we can surely use them.
We did have a parent/teach conference scheduled for Tuesday but she has been so sick I had to cancel and reschedule. So I will certainly keep everyone up to date.
I have been struggling a lot lately with my youngest daughter, Victoria. Needless to say me and her just do not get along...AT ALL. and sometimes I just think she hates me and I am sure she thinks the same thing about me. But believe me, I love this girl with all my heart. I am just so scared that she and I won't have a good mother daughter relationship like I have with my other girls. It doesn't matter how nice I am or how nice I ask her to do something she always has an attitude that honestly....I don't know how to handle. I can't ask her a question about her day without an attitude. She absolutely will not take no for an answer. She will beg, plead, throw a fit or whatever she has to do to get that attention. I have tried to give her positive attention but it does no good. I feel like I have just given up and it really hurts me to think that nothing I have tried is working. She has a lot of trouble with school work and I have been trying for over a year to have her tested at her school (to no avail) and she gets really frustrated so that may have a lot to do with it. I have really been down about this lately so if anyone has any suggestions or has experienced something similar I would love to hear from you.
