Struggle

Have you ever faced a time in your life, or with your child, that you just want to throw in the towel? I don't know what to do some days, how to respond, or how to react. I feel like I'm at a loss. 

Illnesses

We spent thanksgiving and Christmas with my son being sick with a virus and pink eye. Once he started getting better, I went down with a sinus infection and ear infection. Today I am still down (5wks later). I haven't had an ear infection since I was 10 or so... And trust me, I DO NOT miss them!!!!!! Might as well get this out of my system so I can get on with 2014!!!!!

Sunday

Today has been a bad day

My mood is down

I am bummed

No ability to be patient

Not impressed with anything

And really don't care today....

Today is a bad day....

Bath time

My son lives in the bath.

He used to hate water and baths. He then took swim lessons and I think he mutated with a fish!!!!

Every morning he takes a shower because he needs to wash his hair... And then he takes a bath every night before bed. He lounges in the tub for hours. He uses bubble bath and lights candles... And just chills. I can appreciate that.

I am happy my child is clean and his hair is washed. Too many kids don't do that regularly.

I guess it's not so bad....

It's good when...

Your teenage son is not afraid to introduce you to his friends... And admit that you are his mom.

A child's pain

How do you convince a 16-year old that his BFF is only moving 30 minutes away... Not around the world?

She accepts him for who he is and they hang out, laugh, talk, be serious and be silly.

He is heartbroken. I am also.

The hardest part of being a mom is seeing your child in pain.

Limits

I can only make suggestions on what you should or shouldn't do. I can't hold your hand 24/7 so I guess you are on your own.

I want to help you find happiness and be content but I guess I need to let you live and learn. I, too, have been at this junction and I had to make decisions also.

I want you to be happy and not get hurt but you need to make your own choices.

I wish I could help, but its a decision you have to make.

Right and Wrong

Have you ever experienced things that could be right... or wrong? No matter how you look at it, it could all depend. It seems so nice and feels so right, but part of me wonders what comes next...

I'm so confused...

Happy holidays

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and beautiful holiday.

To write... or not to write...

I have been tossing around the idea of doing some writing.

I have gone through so many things. Even a good friend of mine was amazed when I poured some more info out, as she did not expect it.

She was amazed that there is so much I haven't talked about. I have hidden stories and chapters of my life.

I would like to sit down and write. People would be surprised. But I don't know where to start.

Do anyone have any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions they want to share with me on this?
