Holy Cow!!

I think I'm going back to bed after reading that, don't know how you do it!

And that's a day "off!" Why the tears? Or is it just you need a huge amount of sleep?? I hope you get some soon.

It makes me even more tired knowing that 5:00 am to you is 3:00 am to me. I know, I know. Time is relative and yada yada... it doesn't help.

ISTs make me cry. I suffer from " I am not a good enough Mother Syndrome" Sitting there with a crowd of people telling me that my son has scored this on that
and
needs this because of that
is ....lonely and hard.
I often wonder how it is for people who aren't as...out spoken as I am.

I think you need a lock on your door and more sleep.
