Saturday afternoon. The Strong Willed Wonder and I went to her social skills class this morning, now she and my husband are napping. The SWW is wearing me out. The simplest things are a fight. Yesterday it was beautiful weather, no humidity, in the 80s and I chose to walk to pick her up from camp. She was MAD that I hadn't driven and certainly let me know. I just kept walking, pointing out houses I liked, pretty flowers, asking if she preferred mac and cheese or turkey for lunch, etc. Eventually she realized she wasn't going to get a rise out of me she chilled out. I took her hand and we walked the last 3 blocks in peace (sigh). I'm currently reading a book called Easy to Love But Hard to Raise http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Love-but-Hard-Raise/dp/1933084154 and so many of these parents could be inside my head.
Life is quiet. I'm working with a therapist to help me overcome this awful anxiety and depression. We're currently focusing of my driving anxiety because it's starting to affect my day to day life. I did begin a different anti-depressant and it's ok, but I'm trying to give it time to get into my system.
On a positive note, my husband is turning his work package in on Thursday. He has written it, gotten in touch with people needed for recommendations and once he turns it, recommendations have to be turned in, and he will have interviews. Then numbers are scored and totaled and we'll find out if he got the work thing which is sort of like getting tenure at his company. It will mean he'll be considered an expert in his field within the company.
Post infertility, adoption, a health condition, and living the best life possible
