Superbowl Sunday

We don't have a huge circle of friends. And we don't have the kind of friends that are all part of a group and someone would be having a party today and we would be there.

Sometimes I wonder what all the reasons are for this. We aren't anti-social by any means. We have friends. But not the kind of friends who are exceedingly social. I would be willing to bet most of our friends are sitting home, just like us, with the game on in the background, thinking about or doing things that just need to be done.

I guess part of what I worry about is that the struggles with our son have affected our ability to be social. My husband isn't terribly social anyway, so there would always be that piece. But our son makes it hard to hang out with people. In some respects he is easier than he used to be. But given the wrong environment, like anything with lots of stimulation, he can be really hard to handle. Too wound up, makes poor decisions.

For example, the last time we were at a gathering, he took it upon himself to lead the kids in trying to go in and out the doggie door! Yesterday we went to visit friends who have a new puppy and spent the entire time telling him to stop running around the house on his knees trying to get the puppy to chase him.

So exhausting. This weekend in general has been exhausting. He has generally been a complete smart ass. Keeps getting sent to his room for being disrespectful. Hasn't willingly given any help with anything. And been generally demanding with his "I wants..."

I don't know if it is just him, he's off or something or if it has something to do with his supplements. Generally wound up, almost giddy or goofy. I really don't like it.

Tomorrow I drop off the open enrollment packet for the montessori school. Keeping my fingers crossed....
