• Rainees food

  Gonna write this now while I'm thinking it, and add to it during the day.

  Rainee woke up with asthma (not totally normal)  and was rescued before breakfast.  She's been fine the rest of the morning.  She had cold cereal for breakfast Marshmallow Maties--without milk.   And Tator Tots with Ketchup for lunch.

  She's been playing the computer all morning due to my being gone which keeps her vary distracted, and much less aware of being miserable.

  In the afternoon Rainee did quite well.  She was rescued once just before dinner time.  She hadn't had a snack, or any kind of food.

  For dinner she ate ham and rice.  She loves rice.  The rice was lightly seasoned with chicken bullion.  She had a peaceful non-asthma drive to Awana--which is a major bonus.  We have definitely proven that she is allergic to something in salsa.  Every Awana night was a crisis night until I put that little piece of wisdom together. 

  For after Awana snack she had Fishy crackers.  I rescued her *just* before the snack due to her falling down and twisting her ankle.  Crying ALWAYS gives her asthma, so that was definitely not food related.

  We've only been home about five minutes, so there could still be more drama as we get settled in.  

  Jamari had his own drama tonight and learned a very valuable lesson.  There is a little boy at Awana who is a BOOGER.  Major Major bully.  Just goes from tormenting one kid to tormenting another.  Three of my six kids got hit by him tonight.  Two know to avoid him...and for some reason Jeremiah lucked out.  As Zeria said if he picked on Jeremiah all of our claws would come out because Jeremiah's like 2 feet shorter then him LOL.

  Anyhow before Awana started the kids were running around in the gym, and Booger Boy punched/beat on two of Jamari's friends.  Jamari was mad cause an adult didn't see it or intervene and decided to give BoogerBoy a big shove.  Both boys missed game time as a result, which consequence I agreed with.     It was handled poorly by the Director on several accounts, but she apologized to Jamari for that later, so all is good.  Jamari and I had a long long chat about what to do if BoogerBoy  becomes a issue.  And that is NOT to take matters into his own hands, but instead to find a leader or me Immediately.   All of the other kids have had the lesson reiterated and life moves on. 

  **Update**
  Rainee went to bed WITHOUT a rescue.  I cant' remember the last time that happened.  I'm rather in shock.
