Heather, I know you don't consider yourself a poet, but that's actually a great poem. Especially the comparison with-a solider, and we are all warrior moms. It speaks to all of us on different levels.
Thank you for "putting yourself out there" as you said.
And I hope tomorrow is a better day. I know the feeling. Sometimes a good night's sleep and getting a few hrs away from my difficult child is all I need.
Sometimes a trip to B&N or a gift shop works.
And sometimes just living through it for a few days, and then having it miraculously lift, works.
As you said, this too will pass.
I wish I could win the lottery and take us all on an incredible vacation in Hawaii, get massages, dig our toes in the sand, and not have to worry about our difficult children for weeks. I would fly us all out of here.
