Kristin~ Ah yes, the summer dread. I’m hoping that I can enjoy the summer with the knowledge that I’ll never get that time back. Either that or I’ll go insane. Hang in there.

I can really relate to this post. I feel completely drained. I feel like I don’t even have the strength to make it another week let alone another day.

Physically, I am fine. Emotionally and mentally I feel completely wiped out. Maybe because it’s the end of the school year and I know summer is just a few days away. Summer, with no break of kid being at school…no break for me. I’m dreading it.

Melista~ I too like the funnel idea. I’m still looking for a mini one to fit in my pocket next to the thimble.

Such a powerful post and a great professor. I need to buy a thimble and a funnel ( great suggestion) I usually read a bible verse it gives me strength. I look at a family picture of my parents they give me strength because they raised me to be strong and find a way.

Jannie~ It seems the shower is the way to go to release! Even one child can put anyone over the edge sometimes. Glad you made it through that part.

Kristi~ It’s hard to keep reminding ourselves to do that, but we have to. As for Hubs…I’ve made the same threat…and he to me. I guess he who gets to it first! LOL.

Sometimes I meltdown. I had one a few weeks ago. I remember to pick myself up, dust off, and keep moving. I tell myself I am hella strong and can do this…I will not let life, autism, or a job defeat me. And if my Hubs acts up too bad, I threaten to bury him in the back yard!

What an awesome-cool professor.

My heart is sooo with you. As you know, I’ve only got one child but I do so remember times when I cried in the shower, drove aimlessly, or ust lay in bed or on the carpet and cried, as her needs were draining mine all to bits.

Please hang in there, sweet Sister, and rub that thimble til it’s worn thin.

Talon~ LOL!!!! I love the way you think…and am wondering why I never thought of that. I wonder if I can find one small enough to fit in my pocket.

Mia, maybe in your other pocket you should carry a very small funnel – as a reminder to let the guilt flow right out…
