I GOT A JOB! I GOT A JOB! I GOT A JOB! Hey Hey Hey HEY!
I am now the newest member of the Lifespring Chiropractic team. My position is a chiropractic assistant. This is not only a job but a career. I am going to be able to do my clinicals for the x-ray tech classes. I am also going to be getting licensed as a Chiropractic Therapy Assistant. I am right where I want to be.

ADD: Part 2
So, we went to meet our new pediatrician yesterday. We love him!! He is super cool and down to earth. We explained to him all of our concerns about ADD. He suggested that we go to the school and request for them to administer the comprehensive ADD test to him there. Here is the best part, IT IS FREE!! We don't have to go to a psychiatrist or a psychologist to get tested! Yay! The doctor saw a few signs that it could be ADD and then also said that he could still be adjusting to the move and being a kid.
Well I contacted the school the next day. We have scheduled a meeting with the counselors, teachers, and administrator that are included with these things. Soon after that he will take the test. Then have another meeting on the results.
I will update once the test has been taken and he has been evaluated.

ADD: Part 1
Tyler, my adorable 8 year old mini-me, has had a hard first year in Franklin. He has been through a lot. He was going to have to make new friends, start 2nd grade at a new school, and leave everything he knows behind. He has been a trooper. Thankfully he is a "Go with the flow" kid.
So shortly after he got here he started school at Moore Elementary. The school system is great. And from what I have heard, Williamson County and Franklin Special School District are the best around. This made me happy. With that, I have been told more than once when I have mentioned Moore Elementary that this school is like going to a private school. Highest grades around. Yay! But...
Tyler has never had a problem in school. He is a smart kid. But this year has been quite different. I have liked Moore but I am a little disappointed. I really like his teacher, but I would not have put a brand new student that is new to town from a different state in her class. She had twins in October. Which means she was out on bed rest a month before her maternity leave in October and most of November. So Tyler's class had a 2 substitutes during this time. No stability. She has returned, which has been nice.
So...the issue at hand. Tyler is very active. Always going going going! And so am I. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was in 5th grade. I thank my teachers and parents for attending to my needs and seeking help with this. Well, I am now in their shoes. I have met with Tyler's teacher. She has been so helpful and gave me some insight on school life with him. We have come to a mutual agreement, Tyler more than likely has ADD. I see the signs daily. We struggle with homework. Tyler knows the material but does not apply it or cannot stay focused enough to apply it and sometime learn the material.
Our next step is to go to the pediatritian to see about medication and symptom management, our appointment is on Wednesday. I understand that there a lot of children out there that have this disorder and there are some out there that have been labeled with ADD because they are just plain hyper and have discipline issues. I think that it is over-"diagnosed". The children and adults that really do have it, are the ones that are suffering from the negative opinions given to this disorder. I could go on and on about ADD (that will be for a new post...later). I have done my homework.
Please pray for Ty buddy, our new pediatrician, me and my sanity during this journey. Its going to be a trying time for us, but with steady prayer and God's help, we will get through it.

Prayer Requests
I have a couple of prayer requests that I want to share:
1. Along with praying for me, I want to make mention to pray for another sweet family. My good friend, Crystal, needs our prayers. Her newborn son, Grant, who is only 2 months old, will be having surgery on his precious little eyes in the next couple of weeks. He was born with cataracts. Once the surgery is over and with the help of eyeglasses, he will be able to see his loving parents and adorable big brother, along with all of his exteneded family for the 1st time. So, please please, pray for him and his strong and loving parents.
2. My sister's best friend, Amanda, lost her sweet baby girl about 7 weeks ago. I can't even imagine what she is going through. This is something that is so hard to deal with. I just want to send out a request for Amanda.
3. I also want to send out prayers for an old friend, Heather. She also lost her baby boy about 2 weeks ago. Losing a child is so hard no matter which way you look at it.
4. On a little brighter note, one of my new besties Beth has started her own salon with another stylist. They have been open for business for a couple of weeks now. Her clientele is still small. She has only been in the Franklin/Brentwood/Nashville area for about a year. I understand how hard it can be to start new. I want to pray that she gets more clients.
5. The next one will be explained in the next blog post. This one is has a couple of small chapters to it. It will come with updates throughout the coming week. Hint: TYLER and School.

Job Update!!
Well...I didn't get the job. But I am keeping my head up. I know there is something out there for me. I can't wait to find out what it is. I had an interview on yesterday. It went pretty good. I hope to hear back from them tomorrow. I am so tired of going to interview after interview, walk out thinking that "Maybe this is the ONE", then turn around and be told that they have chosen another candidate. Makes me think and wonder, "What didn't I say, or what do I have to do to get a job these days". Unfortunately, money doesn't grow on trees. And the bills keep coming. So sorry that this blog is a little negative and I'm doing a little griping.
I have never been out of a job for this long since Tyler was born. Well... it has never taken me this long to find a new job either. Makin me MAD!! I am going back and forth between keeping on with healthcare and going back to being a nanny.
I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband who has been understanding during all of this and comforting when I don't get offered a job. Thank you so much for being by my side. Along with my friends and family that are also praying for me to find a job soon. Thank you! thank you! thank you!
