A Life of Managed Chaos
From the category archives:
I’m at a crossroads. So many things in play.
I began General Hysteria, really, for me. I began General Hysteria for any other special needs parents that felt alone; any parent, regardless of needs, that felt isolated, unsure. In my haste to share this proud endeavor, I let a little leak to those around me. I [...]

Either I’m very tired, very distracted or very confused…maybe all?

I am not too tired to put it up.
I did not do this instead….
