On a day like that, I like to prioritize like Caroline Ingalls.
There is only one perfect parent, and your not Him. You are doing fine. Nothing a little therapy can’t undo at the very worst. 😉
Side note: Whoa. Ryan can play Candyland. And he wasn’t even supposed to be born. Just wow.
I’m feeling your pain and anguish. Tomorrow is another day to start all over…fresh… Atleast I try to start over fresh. Peace be with you!
Post again when you can include a photo of the holes in the knees of those jeans. Until then, keep on keeping on.

I love your posts! You ARE building an awesome resume – for a mom! I work part-time and am in graduate school – believe me there are many days that I would love to have the time and the desire to stay at home and do what you do. (On a pragmatic level, I carry the health insurance for our family so I must keep working)
As for the memoir, don’t give up. Memoirs are meant to be personal. You have a wonderful story to tell, and a story that can bring hope to so many other parents who are struggling with their own special children.
Hey friend, we get to talk tomorrow! I’m sorry you are overwhelmed and down. Praying for you!!
embrace each pain, joy and craziness. it will be over sooner then you know.
My 25 year old anthropologist lives in arizona, USA; she had to to rub my arm to go to sleep. The 23 year old political scientist lives in Montana USA; she had to pull my hair too – both were my nursing babies who grew up, and no longer need me physically.
but we meet emotionally for just a few days now, here and there.
live and breathe in each moment; it will pass and one day you will be able to pursue what it is that your inner self needs too 🙂 – but what you are giving your children today are wings for tomorrow.
(((hugs)))
