What is up with everyone lately? Do tell!

Not much. With the methadone program I'm down to just 4 mg and just put in my request to drop to 2. I'm pretty excited, after 4 long years I finally have the end in sight. Usually starting in Nov until Feb or Mar I start slowly cutting all contact with the outside world, and other than the internet I'm already starting this year. Trying not to let it happen as bad this year, but I just don't want to talk to anyone. Doesn't help my BFF is suddenly acting like she is single with out kids.

Tom is still laid off and we lost our ins at the beginning of the month. We were falling super behind yet again, but luckily he was able to apply for hardship and get access to his annuity through the union he's in, so we are pretty caught up right now.

Thomas is doing great in 2nd. He is currently huge on reading, sneaking his book and book light in bed, reading on the school bus, etc. He is half way through the third Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. So excited he's done it all on his own.

Collin.... The boy is slacking. I don't know what's happening with him. A few months ago and a year ago he was able to tell all 26 upper and lower case letters by sight and now he's only at half. He's not even attempting to remember their sounds. It's weird.. Other than that he is his typical happy self.

Bailey...She was completely potty trained by the end of the summer: night and day. Since Thomas started school she's been having issues wetting the bed. I don't know what to do, I really do not want to bring pull ups back into the picture... She is learning so much every day and knows how to make her opinions known.
