UGH I KNOW THAT FEELING. Like I can never say I'm tired or I can't handle the mess, the noise, the crying....I have to be above all that somehow because I ASKED FOR IT. And implicit in my promise to his birth mother was that I could handle everything better than all the other women she could have chosen. kwim?

Sorry Rylee kind of veered OT there.
