There must be something in the air/water today. My son had a rough morning, we left for school with him in tears. Starting to reconsider doing what the other parents on my 'parents of children with adhd' board do: wake him up at 5:50 to take his meds, let him sleep for 30 minutes, then start our day. My four year old has dropped her nap and has begun displaying some very difficult behavior (are the problems from her prenatal drug exposure starting to manifest?)
I actually started to cry while I was doing the elliptical machine at the Y, simply overwhelmed and ever so wanting/wishing that I was raising two perfectly normal children. The endomorphins kicked in, I felt better, and we had a very nice late afternoon and decent evening.
Tomorrow is another day. I'm not depressed, don't want to go on meds myself, but every once in a while, think about how nice it would be to take a mother's little helper to get me through the rough spots.
