I totally put an accidental curse on us with my post yesterday. We had a rough teenager day. We thought she was getting better, finding routine, settling in. Apparently she had other plans.
She had to go back to the hospital last night around 8:30. I got to bed at midnight thinking she was all tucked in there, only to get a call at 3:46 am to come pick her up. Who discharges a kid in the middle of the night!
She had not been admitted at the hospital I took her to, but instead was sent to the ER. They told her nothing is wrong, and they couldn't keep her.
So now sleep schedules are off, daily routine was messed with, missed group and individual therapy and she was totally unproductive and mopey the rest of the day. BOO!
Looking forward to our very first FFF Vacay (that is Forced Family Fun Vacation to the layperson) to the coast!!!! Hanging on a giant yacht, pretending to be classy and sophisticated- this is the life!

HSC
Healthy Supper Club is amazeballs!! I had a super crazy day yesterday- errands, visiting the fam (x2), new job paperwork, cooking, drinking wine, and eating- WHEW! (Please note the absence of my critical nap)
I made it priority to not skip HSC this week, and I am so glad I went. I love when it is a smaller group (there were 5 of us) because we can all really hear each other, and really get to a deeper level. I got to vent my frustrations and got some awesome feedback.
One of the girls had a fan-freaking-tastic idea I had not thought of yet! Could really turn things around! And one of the girls, and a close friend, is hooking my SIL with a 10-day job- win/win on the money and to keep her busy.
HSC is an anchor for me. Those women have helped me through the loss of 2 parents-in-law, job changes, general stress, planning a wedding, being married, protesting the loss of women's rights in Texas, and so so many more things. And I think I am not alone in having survived life with their help. It provides us all with this anchoring.
I am feeling so blessed and loved to have them in my life. :)
