Thanks mrsd.

My son was diagnosed at age 5 and we have been trying to get this thing under control. His trigger times are in the morning before the meds have taken effect and in the evening when we are getting ready for bed. (normal right)

I'm just at my wits end at how to end the constant chaos that goes with these times. I feel like I have to be on him constantly just to keep him moving, in between taking care of Katie Bug and the regular household chores which mostly have to wait until they are in bed. (you need a smiley for *overwhelmed*)

I am a part-time single Mom, my husband travels *a lot* so I am alone most of the time. I also work 30+ hours a week and have a 4 year old.

I guess I m ranting a bit, I do get a little overwhelmed, but for the most part

I do OK. I'm working on not yelling so much, but when Bugman is off in his own world and "can't" hear you talking to him three feet away it does get frustrating...............Not to mention that pit he calls his room. I send him in to clean and three hours later it's worse.

Is that normal behavior for 9 year olds????

It's late, more at a later date, thanks for enduring my rants.

ps My son likes boots also.
