Well, it is a good Friday indeed over here.
Rye and his friend that stayed the night are sleeping in. Yea!!! A quiet moment to myself. The sun is shining. The sky is clear. I looked outside and the pool is turning a nice light greenish-blue color so we are definitely heading in the right direction there. The color blue is now in the mix.
Yes, the day is looking like it will be a good one.
As Easter approaches I can’t help but think of paper mache eggs like the ones above. I love those eggs and have since I was a child. When I was in elementary school I lived in Texas and there was a candy store near us to which I could ride my bike. I rode there often by myself and/or with my friend from two doors down, Jennifer Hatfield (a name I will never forget. Well that and Monica Jean Hacker, she was another friend from elementary school days, no actually preschool days, but Jennifer was my best friend when I was about 7-10 years old). I would ride to the store and buy these paper mache eggs and fill them with candy in anticipation of Easter. It was wonderful. I love these eggs. They are beautiful. And back then they weren’t very expensive. Times have changed though, as they always do, and now Williams-Sonoma carries them – meaning they are a bit more expensive now. To their credit though, Williams Sonoma is a purveyor of wonderful things. I love that store with a passion. The eggs were originally made in Europe and were a European tradition. And, come to think of it, I’m pretty sure I lived in Western Europe in a previous life because every time I go there I just feel like I belong there and I could live there full time in a nanosecond. But alas, now I’m way off topic.
Anyway, back to Easter. I am very ill prepared this year for the big day so now I need to find some time today to get to the store and pick over all of the leftover candies, etc. for the Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Eeesh, picked over Easter goodies. Not exactly M.O.Y over here. Oh well, it will have to do.
It’s a sad tale but one that must be told.

hey. about the comment you left on my blog (i think it was you) about some meds making some kids more irritable. i do try to keep track of is patterns. especially as it relates to medication. i am very careful and aware. unfortunately, that’s just the problem. there is no pattern! it’s not consistently related to the medication. and actually, the risperdal does immediately have an effect on the mania. and i can tell when we miss a dose. so i don’t think it’s the medication. but God, i wish i knew what it was!
some days he is just really really off. i can’t describe it. it’s like he’s constantly on the edge of something. he paces. he rocks. he whines about everything. he looks like he’s on the verge of losing his mind. he doesn’t want to be alone. he’s anxious and nervous. i’m starting to wonder if he’s seeing things or hearing things or something he can’t describe. but it’s not everyday. and it seems to be pretty random. and it doesn’t matter what we do that day. any thoughts?
have a happy easter, my blog friend
