What a day/week/month!

So much has happened lately that I don't even know where to start. First, Chara has been diagnosed with ADHD...Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. She will be on medicine to help her brain focus, and to hopefully help her get to the point where learning and school are more enjoyable for her. She loves school, but it's not going as well as she and I would like. I'm optimistic that we can get her to a point where she will be successful and we will be able to at least get through a night of doing homework without a major throwdown happening between us. That would be great! Today I went to fill her prescription only to find out that after insurance it will still cost $210!!! I'm working on finding prescription help/aid or something, but it has made me think about everybody else that doesn't know they have options for help with this stuff.
Let's see, next is her umpteen cavities. She has already had at least 9 filled and has a couple more to fill and a tooth that was pulled...get this; Chara has never complained to me about the pain. We only find out she has them when we go in for cleanings. So, we've been taking care of her teeth in hour long appointments for the past two weeks.
The biggest thing is that Chara was born with something called a brachial cleft sinus on the right side of her neck. It's a hole in her neck that never fully sealed while she was developing in utero. She has kind of a tube or fistula that will be removed with surgery in March. It oozes what looks like snot when she gets bad colds. At times it can be pretty gross! So on top of all of her other appointments we've been going to the ear, nose, throat doctor for this.
That's what's happening for Chara. Not a lot is happening for me, but I am realizing more and more my need for a new job. I would really like something where I can have weekends off and the ability to get Chara to school in the morning. I also want to finish nursing school. Part of that means that I need to get a tutor to relearn algebra so that I can take chemistry and finally apply for the nursing program. I feel like there is so much going on right now. It's all I can do to come home and not collapse at the end of the day. I have a very hard time forcing my brain to think through all that needs to be done so that things can get taken care of at home too.
It's very hard to not get overwhelmed by all that is happening.
