gets easier....hmm..
well...how do I break this to you gently? Yes and No.
Personally I am finding age 8 to be a real challenge. lol
I'm not having the best of days recently, anyways. Coyotes ate both my cats :( and then my special needs daughter has been stimming and acting out something ferocious and has even started peeing and messing herself again. We went to adopt a kitten the other day in the valley (indoor cat, no chance of a coyote getting her) and DD2 was just griping and griping about how cats eat mice and why would we want an animal that hurts one of God's littlest creatures (I would remind her of this the next time she wants a chicken samwich but alas, it would do no good) and rant rant rant rant rant...
DD1 was trying to distract her with the VCR tapes they had for sale while I juggled Dodi and filled out paperwork, I told the lady I was sorry, DD2 was autistic and just over excited and the lady just bent over backwards being kind about it. The vet came out and demanded to know "WHOSE KIDS ARE THOSE??" and I got to to be the mother who said "Mine." while looking her in the eye like "What you gonna say about it?" LOL.
The lady behind the desk said "They are totally fine" and gave her a death eater look. The lady apologized profusely for the other ladies rudeness, but I didnt think it was a big deal. I was already 5 sheets of red embarassed...I was just thankful they let me adopt the cat to be honest.
2 dead cats in a month, an autistic child freaking out about dead mice, and every thing else going on and I think I would have had reservations about adopting to me. LOL oh well.
Anyways, back with the "Behavior Balance" for her I go. That stuff does wonders and I will not forget to give it to her again. Its been atleast 6 weeks.
So anyways..just been feeling a little overwhelmed (Home school started back up) and just a little bit like "Where did I go wrong?"
Some days I have these feelings like I want to grab Dodi and escape it all for a couple days...and some hours I just want to escape it all BY MYSELF. Once in a great while I'll think about adding my husband...haha
But I stay home and try to be thankful and not be negative.
So thats whats going on in my world lately. Preparing for winter storms and trying to get wood in. Tired. and never sure I'll get this mothering thing right. Babies are so much easier in so many ways.
