More Than a Mom



I am reading an awesome book right now. I check it out of the library every 6-8 months or so and read it to remind myself of a lot of things. If you have a special needs child in your life or know of a Mom that does, I reccomend this book: “More than a Mom” Living a Full and Balanced Life When Your Child Has Special Needs

BALANCE!! HA! No gym time this week, very little scrapping and a snow storm in April. Yeah, I am lacking balance! Lol!!

This has been an exceptionally hard week for me. Sofie hasn’t been to school in over a week, so she is starting to suffer. Yesterday we had another morning of testing at the Neuropsychologist. Sofie had a hard time getting settled but did okay. But then they brought her out to me and said in 5 minutes she was going back. She was SO UPSET and had a complete melt down. Secretly I was rejoicing that she was displaying this behavior so they could witness Sofie outside of a controlled enviroment similar to school. But my heart was breaking to see her that way. To make matters worse Savana was visibly upset and is having a hard time being around her sister and witnessing this. Seeing your kids in pain is the worst thing in the world and I was SO tired after all of that.

The best part of my day was when Scott walked in and said ‘You look drained” YES! Thank you! I am drained emotionally and physically and YOU NOTICED! Not only did he notice but he offered to go to the store- (which Sofie was NOT going to do after all of that. She flipped out because we went to the Drive Thru at Burger King instead of directly home!) He also said he would make dinner and he did and it was so nice knowing that I am not in this alone. He is reaching out to me and knowing that we are in this together is a gift. That one sentence was like going to the well and filling my bucket. I can do this!!! Thank GOD!!!!!
