I’m crying because
- the fight. The every-single-day-fight of why he needs to do this school work.
- the fact that when he finally did settle down and get to work, he mis-spells every single word in the sentence except the curse word. Great! He’s a curse-word-spelling savant! Sh*t!
- the fact that his little brother can’t find his headphones to do his computer work. Every single pair offered to him was “not right”. STUPID sensory issues.
- the fact that there is TOO much for me to do. Â I have to sit here hour by hour overseeing their seatwork but somehow I still need to make sure the menus are planned, groceries are bought and prepared, laundry and all the other chores that make this house keep going are all done too.
- the fact that there are just TOO many of them. Â I can’t meet all their needs. I can’t even come close.
- I’m frustrated. Â THAT is why I’m crying!
(Sorry for the vent – I’ll get a second wind and be back to ‘normal’ soon. Â It was either write this post and be angry or keep crying! Â Thanks for letting me get it out! Â FASD SUCKS!!!!)
Venting (appropriately) is a good thing! The only thing I’d argue with you about is “there are too many of them”. Nope,….God won’t give you more than you can handle, so 4 must be just right. Hugs!
Yeah. But this is one of those “What were you thinking, Lord?” days! 😉
Prayed, got a few things done and feeling a bit better! Thanks for the virtual hugs!
Amy, God chose you to be the Mother for these four beautiful special children! He will provide you with what you need. I know it is frusterating,difficult and emotionally draining but I also see the “joy” they have brought into your family! Hang in there sweet lady, you may not ever realize your reward here on this earth. Prayers and hugs for you today!
I love you!!! Wish I could be there to relieve some of the burden!!!!
