Re: [anybody watch Temple Grandin?

[Guest guest]

I really enjoyed watching the Temple Grandin movie last night. I have read two of her books and heard her in person. I thought they did a good job of portraying her. As I was watching it, Karac was walking around trying to overcome his anxiety. LOL, LOL, LOL Pat K

she's driving me craaaaazy!

> Kaleigh's ritalin doesn't seem to be working all of a sudden. She's been so hyper lately that I've had to put her in her room for awhile just so I can get a break. In fact, she's in her room as I type...I hate to put her in there so much, but it's like if I don't, then I'm gonna lose my mind. She's been getting into one thing after another.. the trash, the kitchen sink, knocking over the space heater, knocking over stacks of mail on the floor, banging on the TV screen, taking off the couch cushions and throwing them on the floor...what is going on? I know she's 3,but geeesh. She's had her ritalin this morning but I might as well have not given it to her at all 'cause she's still as hyper as ever. One change I've made lately is that at night, I've been giving her benadryl to sleep because that trazadone just doesn't work. Could the benadryl be amping up the hyperactivity during the day and counteracting the ritalin? My eye has been twitching since Monday
