Sometimes I get so frustrated

[6_Time_Momma]

Janette, I read that piece when Garrett was first born. I have always believed God gave me a disabled child for a reason. Some days it's pretty easy to lose sight of that fact, though. (I don't think myself anymore special than any other mom, though)

Val, I don't think it's the baby on the way. I think he just doesn't like changes for one, and I think he sees an opportunity to test his boundaries when a sub is on the bus. Plus, I think it is just so frustrating for him not to always be able to make his needs/wants known.

Thanks everyone, for your words of encouragement. Hopefully, today, I will feel a little more "up". (Destiny was/is sick with laryngitis and a croupy cough yesterday, so I had to reschedule Garrett's annual IEP meeting at school, so I think everything just kind of gathered together to hit me at once)

Kristy, I just came across this post and I wanted to say that I admire you and I think you are very good mom. I remember when Garrett wasn't gaining weight and the dr.'s were putting you off about it you really pushed until they figured out that there was indeed a problem besides the downs. That's just one example but to me it shows what a really good, dedicated mom you are to your children.

You are a wonderful mom. May today be better.

Oh Kristy, I am so sorry that you are having such a hard time right now. I agree with the others - you are a wonderful mom. It is always so apparent in your posts how much you love your children and how well you take care of them.

Maybe you can take a few hours for yourself maybe get a massage, or grab one of your girlfriends and go to a spa for a couple hours, or just have lunch. Just do something to concentrate on KRISTY for a little while!

I hope things are better today.
