This last month.

So Olivia missed her appointments with the pediatric psychologist and after missing two appointments she wan't allowed to have another. I guess the receptionist said if we miss two we can't amke another appointment because there is a long waiting list to see her. SO anyway I founf another psychologist that was willing to see Olivia. He said he doesn't hink she has ADHD or even ADD. But he definitely see's a problem. He said it seems she has ODD (oppisitional defiant disorder) which is usually linked to ADD/ADHD but doesn't have to be connected. So me and Haydan and Olivia's teachers at school filled out some surveys on Olivia's behhavior and such so the psych should get an idea of what each person notices about her behavior. The surveys form haydan and I totally contridict the surveys from Olivia's teachers. I Don't get how she is an angel at school but has prooven that she can be a monster at home. So we are trying to get to the bottom of this all and hopefully see a light at the end of a tunnel and get a handle on Olivia's outrageous behavior. Don't get me wrong, is a very Sweet and carring litle girl, but she definitely has her moments and they ccome more often than they should. ANd we just don't know what to do or how to redirect her bad behavior to good behavior. We need help understanding why she acts the way she does, why she acts this way, what triggers it, and how to help her however we need to be helping her. I am determined to get the help all of us need.

We are still moving to Washington next month. WE do not have a place of our own yet be we are trying. Our plan at this moment is to move in with Haydan's parents till we do find a place since it will be easier to find a place when we are physically there instead of 1400 miles away. And his parent's home is bigger than mine so we will have a room for the kids to share and a room of our own. We will also be able to put all of our stuff in their garage so we don't have to rent a strage space. The military isn't going to move us like we were told because we are not within 180 days of Haydan's EAS. So we are going to have to spend the $$$ to rent a truck and get boxes. Lot's of fun ahead of us. Our date of move is Dec. 19th. There is a unit Christmas party that Haydan's presence is manditory so we will get packed up and be ready to leave after the party. We hope to arrive at the in-laws on Dec. 23rd if all goes will with the snow in the moutains. Not ooking forward to that. ICK!!!

Last night was the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. We went and had a blast. Met up with tons of friends and met new ones. The Marine Corps was established on Nov. 10th, 233 years ago. I finally got to wear one of the formal dresses, still bearring a tag, never been worn, hanging in my closet. And the choice of shoes was bad. Just wearing them sittin gin the car hurt. I am not use to walking like Barbie. They were silver strappy things with 4 inch heels. Anyway we got pictures so take a look. Haydan looked . . . well I'll just say he looked extremely handsome in his dress blues. What I want to say probably isn't appropriate. Till next time...
