I' am so sorry. It is good that you reach out to people when you are ready. Just know that there is a whole group, a mob even, of mothers, here and around the world that support you. We'll be thinking of you and the tough road ahead. I also saw your comment on Molly coddles. I’ am so sorry. It is good that you reach out to people when you are ready.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and the callous crazy thing that people say. I have had loss too and people, I think, are trying to be nice but it comes out so wrong. I'm getting ready to have my quiet time and I will pray for you and your family, for more "days of grace". I noticed your comment on Mollycodles and it led me to your post.

That is a fact We can't have it all. I am quite certain you and I would have a lovely spot of tea in your less than perfect kitchen and get along swimmingly. I have bad eyesight, so you need not worry. If you’re a perfect housewife, then you’re not perfect in other areas. That is a fact We can’t have it all.

]]> Comment on It’s hard to travel by Sprite's Keeper http://meowmie.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/its-hard-to-travel/#comment-207 Sprite's Keeper Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:57:03 +0000 http://meowmie.wordpress.com/?p=285#comment-207 I feel that way too. I love my husband and he is as devoted to Sprite as I could hope, but sometimes he is more nonchalant about things than I am. I am the planner and worrier in our family. He is the fun one. When I'm not there, I worry that the fun will overlook the possibilities of injury or mess. Granted, messes are expected, but common sense would leave it at a minimum. It's not mommy guilt. It's an upset of routine. It's worry about your family. It's the what if's that come out to play. I went to BlogHer and left Sprite in the care of John for four days and he managed to potty train her while I was gone. I'll be a lot better with the next trip. Just list your issues and what you want remembered and then just let it go. He'll do fine with her. Sorry for the lengthy comment. It's just something I'm far too used to. I feel that way too.

Sprite has the same problem with protein. I have to make it a game for her to try chicken or red meat by having her dip it in ketchup and accidentally taking a bite or two. Sigh. These children..

I had a very different experience. Whether we were gifted academically, or artistically, (and some kids were both) there was a school program for us. We were always encouraged to reach beyond our normal range, and that's where we made our friends and confidants. And we weren't persecuted. The school officials made sure to re-inforce that everyone, from the kids in the voc-tec program to the honors kids, were contributing to our school. As I recall, the kids who got picked on were the ones who wanted to make a big deal out of our differences. Hopefully, if you have a gifted child, you'll find this kind of environment for them.
