Feeling Lousy

[Guest guest]

There is no greater pain than envisioning your little one having a tantrum because you forgot something. I can empathize, greatly!! However, it is clear and understandable that you are stretching yourself too thin.

There would not be enough clones in the world that could hold all of the love, time and dedication that you so obviously have for your loved ones. Try not to beat yourself up too much.

I have so much on my plate, I feel like I am walking in an endless tunnel with splashes of light, but finding no end in sight. Still, I can moving forward. We have to or we deal with the alternatives. No good parent wants that.

You sound like a wonderful mom who needs a little time and reprieve for herself. I hope things turn out better than expected. Congdon-Barnello <Luvourlives@...> wrote:

I am wondering if I try to hard. I try to always be ten steps ahead to prep Alonzo for what is to come, to attempt to make his routine as dependable as possible and compensate when it is not. Well today I failed. I just realized that I left my sons presentation on the table instead of in his backpack. This was for his leader day which means he would be the only one to share. Well, yesterday I had to put out the fire of finding out there was a bus drill this morning. And I had to bake cupcakes because today is my other son's birthday. And because of the bus drill I had to pick up the little girl I sit for early and walk all my kids to school so that we could skip this one. Well in all this I forgot. And I know this has the potential for disaster. I called the school social worker and then called the office to give his teacher the message that I would bring the presentation in this afternoon when I come for my other son's party. I really hope this works ok but I have a

pain in my chest to think that he might be tantruming because of something I forgot to handle. He is only 6 so it is hard to expect him to remember. THanks for listening.

Hi:

I'm a newbie who hasn't posted an introduction yet but your note really got to me. It's so obvious hwo much you care and in my opinion nothing matters more. It's OK not to be perfect and we all need to take a breath once and a while and accept ourselves as human beings doing the best that we can who will inevitiably make mistakes.

First thing in the moring I need to apologize to my NT 10 year old daughter becasue I was barking at her about her math homework becasue her 13 year old PDD-NOS brother had kind of shut it down and I couldn't get him to cooperate with a couple of simple things.

But I know that the kids know that they are loved by their parents and that's a pretty good place to be.

Hope you find a way to get yourself a little down time.

,

How did it turn out? Did you get Alonzo's presentation there in time?

You sure had your plate full!!! Know we all have been in your shoes,

and even though it is heartwrenching, it happens to all (NT and AS)

because we are all human and sometimes forget things!!!

I've been trying to read the digests, but I have felt so awful for the past few months I haven't posted much, if at all. It's like one step forward and five back. I've been having a terrible problem with hiatal hernia, on top of everything else. Cushing's Disease, MCS, neuro-Lyme Disease, pesticide poisoning and now this. Burp, Josie
