Usually she crashes in three hours (which ends in a rage - c'est la vie) When AB and Sissy are both manic at the same time, it about makes my head pop. AB can't do the benadryl - paradoxical effect - but Sissy handles it ok. It is my survival plan only because I don't want to abuse it or have the usefulness wear out.<br /><br />We absolutely do not do these back-to-back events. I know on the other blog you said it was unavoidable. When that happens, we usually "lie" and say someone is sick or we give some other excuse.

I'd rather have people pissed as hell at me than to deal with two manic kids and a strung out six year old.Integrity Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196095126605205738noreply@blogger.com
