2nd day Vyvanse and a Surprise

Today the ADHD med didn't work as well as yesterday, and tonight my girl had a hard time falling asleep. She finally was quiet at about 10 pm, really late for her. I am planning to give her 20mg tomorrow, which is what her Ped prescribed, because I want it to work effectively. I can deal with the sleep issues gradually, as Jaden is homeschooled now and so we are not constrained to school hours. We can sleep in if we need to!
An old friend from high school wanted to bless Jaden with some educucational toys for Christmas. I shopped online several days ago and the box came in the mail today. I put it up and will wrap the gifts and give them to her on Christmas morning. I am so grateful for the times when others want to bless us. I am low on $$ for Christmas and was wondering how I would take care of Jaden's gifts. Kady, Morgan and Lance just like money (they are so easy) and I had been saving up for several months to do them, but Jaden's stuff always waits until the last minute.
I used to get tired of doing the whole Christmas thing but still did it out of pressure to be the same? Please others? Feel good enough? Not sure, but things have changed in the past few years. I don't care about Christmas at all. I love Jesus but I celebrate Him in my heart everyday. I started to not want to decorate, bake, do the cards or post office, do the parties, etc. If Reg hadn't stepped in the past few years we would not have done it. Some say it's a sign of depression. I say I have better stuff to worry about. I know it's a bad attitude and it's hard to understand if you haven't had your life changed in a major way recently. Please forgive me and love me anyway. :o)
