my balance sheet is totally off these days …
losing patience
losing perspective
losing sleep
gaining weight

but alas, tomorrow is another new beginning! it’s been a strange couple of weeks. time to get back on track!

read this blog post and realized with great satisfaction, that for all of our squabbles and frustrations, i definitely got the right mother … i hope she feels like she got the right daughter(s). i humbly venture that she does.
i love the expression of that sentiment … to consider that even in the relationships in [...]

n: “i want to go to the mall!”

“it’s ok if he’s scared!”
nice. good to know that n. has b.’s back.
