Sometimes, you find yourself in a situation where there are truly just no right answers. Sure, there may be a slightly less wrong one? But really, given the choices, you wish you just didn’t have to choose at all. Because no matter what you do, you’ll feel like it was the wrong choice. (At the …
Sometimes, therapy just….is what it is. I knew last night would be hard. I knew I’d have to talk about the things that hurt the most. And that’s exactly what happened. As soon as I got there, she basically said “let’s color today, it seems like a good day for coloring”. I totally didn’t disagree. …
“She’s insane!!!!!” I say very loudly and very matter of factly as I leave therapy late last night. But …who am I referring to? My therapist?!?!? Surely not. SURELY, she isn’t insane. Otherwise, why would I spend at least 2 hours a week talking to her, trying to overcome life’s biggest obstacles and challenges? Of …

Well, for the night I had last night, I woke up in a surprisingly good mood. Like, it’s actually kind of shocking, and I’m super confused by it, but….a win is a win? Yesterday was a little bit hard, but it ended with therapy, which went really well. It was mostly just me talking for …
Well, in NOT so typical Monday fashion…I’ve been asked to cancel my day today. A typical Monday for me looks like, dropping my son off at school, dealing with the 2 younger ones at home, then picking my son up early from school, taking all 3 kids to therapy (one has OT, one has PT, …

You know those nights that you can just…..predict where they’re going to go? Somewhere around 5pm today, that happened. I knew exactly where this night was going to go, and I asked my husband to help prevent that. Earlier in the day, he got frustrated with me. Me, already being sensitive, thought “oh great, he’s …
