drained.

Mostly on this blog,
I really try to focus on the joy and blessings of this life
(and there are many.)

Sometimes, parenting and life and the world just sucks you dry. Then you get kicked out of the children's area public library because your special needs child might "scare the fish" with her happy and excited voice that she can't control or understand is too loud(really happened). Then your seven year old refused to lift a finger to help around the house because he was "too tired" and your two year old...well was just two (as in crying all day for some reason or another..) When your kids eat silently through dinner food they would never normally touch, they have to know we are frayed, right? Somedays, bedtime doesn't even bring a calm to my nerves. Maybe a glass of wine is in order tonight.
