she thinks it's okay to repeatedly scream at me in public

She is wrong. I mean, I expect you know that. But it should be reiterated.

Katerina I am so sorry you have to deal with someone who thinks getting angry and yelling at people is better than sex

That is really wrong.

Mom is not at the point where I need to disable her car. I hope it doesn't come to that. She is mostly ok but there are things like...I took her to the bank and post office, etc and even though it was 15 mins to the bank she pulled out her check book right as we left and was trying to write a check while I was driving. Her handwriting isn't that great. She did stop and realize it was too soon. But then as we got to the bank she was trying to write while I was driving and with the checkbook just on her lap. I suggested she wait until we were at the bank and I could find a surface for her to write on.

That doesn't seem huge but little things can cause problems.

Today I basically moved my work office to my house, except none of the furniture. I have lots of things still in bags, but 2 mo iyirs, keyboard, mouse and printer are all here. I have to much paper in my office that i think once I go through it here I can either make correct files or throw stuff out.

In getting things set up I had to clean up a desk that I have not used except for a catch all in abt 8 years. Threw out lots of paper. So many note pads.

Timelies all!

Got home and no one else is here. Little worried, because the nanny only supposed to be here until 5. Hopefully she just took Mr. S out and forgot about the time. Unfortunately, I do not have any way to contact her.

Askye, that's impulsivity and executive function (making an appropriate plan and carrying it out). It's not a big deal, till it is (and driving makes it a big deal fast) Is she getting OT as well as PT?

Sheryl, that seems...not ideal. Can you get her phone number when she gets back?

I'm hoping the child was back shorty after she posted, since it's now late there!

Msbelle what is "cheat a eel"?

She has seen the OT and will again this week. It's kind of interesting because some of the things mom is dealing with are issues I've had because of my own executive function problems. I and a terrible driver at first and got into multiple accidents/wrecks my first years of driving.

Meara, that would be clean a desk. I should really read back a post before I post.

For those of you following along here and not over on FB, I thought I'd give an update. I had a great conversation on the phone today with my birth mother. It was really great to hear her voice. We spent a little more than an hour on the phone and we are both excited to now be connected.

That's so great!!
