Since I've not been here in a few days (weeks? months?), I thought I'd offer a quick Tuesday Ten of what I've been up to this week. This past week, I have...
1. ...helped Eldest with her first ten entries in her Senior Scrapbook (this is a yearlong English assignment, pretty cool).
2. ...helped Middle and Hubby make a Sodium atom out of a sheet cake and cupcakes.
3. ...survived at least two Bipolar "Episodes" with youngest and researched our health insurance policy to see what they will pay when we have to finally take the step into Inpatient Psychiatric care.
4. ...been "Colorguard Mom" and "Show Makeup Artist" for one football game and one competition. Their show makeup kicks some serious ass. It looks like this:
5. ...made a pre-made mini-scrapbook for Youngest's school fundraising auction (One down, three to go, yay! Not!).
6. ...ridden my bike with Hubby to Chick-fil-a for lunch and home one day.
7. ...pulled some muscle or pinched some nerve in my neck so I can barely move today. I guess it's time for a massage.
8. ...driven 1200 miles.
9. ...discovered one of our remaining two finches, a zebra, had died. Poor Fat Boy; he's all alone now. He's a shaft tail finch. He's always been our favorite. He looks like this:
10. ...missed this week's episodes of Survivor, CSI:NY, and Numb3rs, because I was too exhausted to do anything but crash into bed at the end of the day (and because I was too stupid to set them up to record).
Massage, yay! And what are you thinking, not posting pictures of your cakified sodium atom?
I wish I could be there to give you a hug as you're dealing with the mental health system for your little guy. :( Hope your insurance coverage is better than ours. (I think ours might cover a lock for the attic door... that's probably about it.)

I'm impressed, as always, with your tenacity!
Will Marshmallow walk on a leash? We should take our big dogs for a late night (remember, late for me is about 9:30) walk some night and all howl at the moon.
