Where I feel overwhelmed...

It's Thursday...
I'm supposed to be going back in today but my doctor's note that was supposedly sent yesterday never arrived at work...
K3 is taking the bus today for the first time since her accident. She's pretty nervous. I told her I believed in her and her ability to make good decisions. Then I went in the bathroom and cried after she left....
Cassie is going into the vet today to get her hoo haw permenantly altered....
I'm probably a failure as a mother... just ask my kids...
My husband is working ungodly hours...
Maybe I'm hormonal...
At least I have this:

And this...

Gah...
K3 rode the bus to and from her school successfully!
Cassie survived her hoo haw surgery!
I am almost done crying for the day...
((hugs))

I'm feeling ya! I got a little twinge in my gut when I read K3 took the bus today, even though I know every thing will be fine. Gah, is right!
My stomach is churning for you, too. And you are anything but a failure as a mother....
Never underestimate the power of a woman's hormones. K3 is gonna be fine. You're a great mom.
My stomach is churning, too. I'm keeping my figers crossed. Here's hoping everything went well. And as long as you have chocolate and puppies you should be fine. HUGS!
Tell my sis I'm so proud of her :) I knew she could do it! Day is half over, see you after 5. Love you, mom!
Congrats to K3. Had to be tough for her.
They changed Cody's meds to help him be more in tune to things around him (like buses). Hopefully that will help.
I'm glad you are responding to the medication.
Your emotions are finally catching up with you from all of the "stuff" that has happened over the last months. Crying is healthy if not beautiful. It releases good things into your blood which help you feel better in time so don't fight it.
Love you!
You did it!
Pat yourself on the back. Kiss K3, kiss that cutestdogi'veeverseen and rejoice that it's all behind you.
Then brace yourself because those damn hormones are sinister, and they're always up to no good.
You're anything but a failure, and I know from failures, thanks to my own beloved witches brew of hormones known as perimenopausal dementia.
Oh Man! And you had me crying too! I've had one of those days (although lower in caliber) but when I read the update it brought a smile to my face. I can only imagine how scared K3 might have been but I'll bet she's really proud of herself now! You are a great, devoted Mom who doesn't raise her children to be dependent upon her, OKAY? You done good!
On another note, our son is now dating a girl who works with mentally & physically challenged kids & I heart her completely. She loves her kids! And, she's just a few credits away from getting her degree in Psychology. Apparently boys do eventually grow up & make good choices...
We moms have those days every once in a while, don't we? I bet tomorrow (which is today now) will be all the better. Freeze summa those cookies if you need to; they might come in handy for the next crisis.
Hooray to you all .. and honestly its better to be overwhelmed than under .. and did you ever hear anyone say they were 'whelmed'? HOW can you be either under or overwhelmed if there is no whelm? Well, I am waiting... anyone?
