Update on Michaels Autism!!!

Well I Took Michael to the Child Shrink yesterday He just sat there and wouldn't talk to the Doctor, The Doctor took him off the medicine that cause him to gain 25 pounds in less than 2 months, trust me the boy is huge! and put him on 2 other kinds of medicine to help control the moods and outburst and weight gain....I sure hope that we can get him regulated so he can return to school.I take him back in a month let's keep our fingers crossed :) He is really being a good boy today and not wanting to just sit around and eat everything in site. Bless his heart the clothes I had him wear yesterday were really tight I am hoping that this new medicine will help and we can get the weight down along with everything else . Thank goodness for the State Insurance program the medicines that he is taking would have cost me $700.00 a month there would be no way in Hell that I could have done that. Thank goodness I only have to pay $ 25.00 a month, I never thought that I would have to medicate him, With him and me both on Medicine I thank everyday that I have Insurance and he is covered through the state because of his Autism....
I really feel for the people out there that can not get the help that they need. I searched and searched for years and I was able to contact the state and let them know that Michael could not get insurance that was why he qualified Tim and I make too much otherwise but with him having Autism that is what is saving us money wise!!!!! AS soon as he turns 18 he goes on SSI and Medicaid so at least I know that he will be taken care of....hopefully our government wouldn't screw that up for everyone!!!! The Picture was of him before all the weight gain!!!

Why do I put up with it!!!

I can not believe how much Rain we got yesterday It flooded in Gaines ville and around Lake Kiowa So I had to drive home the long way and it still was a challenge , And Of course leaks in the ceiling are always so much fun! Yesterday at work I worked just a half day so I could take Holiday pay since I rarely do. I really needed to be at work there is so much that need's to be done. Thank goodness Carol is back from Vacation but next week Barbara is going to take a week off! These are my lead and Asst. mgr. So I really rely on them. I also found out that I will be stuck with a young man that will need a work coach with him everyday. the company I work for has a program that they will get extra money from the Government, if they hire these individuals that can't work anywhere else. So I get to "babysit" and they get the money!!!! I am going to have to stay on my P's and Q's , What I mean is : I feel like they are going to really be watching to make sure that things are being done correctly , I have enough to worry about with the other 6 employees that I have now I have to work out a program for this young man that will need help with his job! I don't get payed enough for this. I can't believe I have worked for them 6 years now.Where have years gone? Jobs are so hard to come by these day's! I have people coming in everyday looking for a job.People that I am afraid I would never hire, 1st of all when ever you go to place looking for work come in Clean and well dressed never come in greasy dirty shorts and flip-flops and look like you never have taken a shower in your life. Oh and please brush your teeth, Appearance is so important take pride in yourself just because one is poor doesn't mean that you can not clean up!!!! I really like the ones that act like all they have to do is tell me that they ned a job and when can they start! Oh and then tell me that there are certain day's and times that they will or won't work!!!! Oh really!!!! Not in my lifetime!! I have even had them call the store and tell me that they want a job but they can only work certain times. 1st of all if you are to @#$% lazy to walk in and talk to me then you will never work for me! Where do these idiots come from and why do they think that they can tell me what they will or won't do??? I can not get over the gull of some-people....
