Thanks to everyone who has been helping me keep my chin up lately. Even my BFF from France was kind enough to remind me that I need to take a break sometimes. Thank goodness I have a 13 year old, responsible, young man in my home who will watch the kids when I am loosing my mind or just need a date with my hubby. Spencer is such a blessing to us.
I think what my frustration boils down to is: I'm putting a lot of effort into many things I do, but not seeing tons of reward. I know....I shouldn't be focusing on the results. I just can't help but wonder what I could accomplish if my day wasn't spent picking up silverware, changing diapers, giving medicine, picking up crackers, vacuuming chips off the carpet....and all of the other things that come along with raising a child with special needs. Honestly, I'm not spending the day on the couch feeling sorry for myself, but sometimes the house looks that way.
But really, I have such wonderful friends and family. Thank you for taking care of me. I am blessed. Very, very blessed.

Teri,
You are so amazing. I don't know how you do it every day. Your family sounds wonderful. I admire you. Thank you for your comment on my blog. That was really sweet of you. I would love to talk and get to know you better too!
Are you okay? Is there anything I can do? I didn't know Super Mom ever got down, but it's a bit of a comfort... :) Love you.
