Please People

Cotton is absolutely loving his new tudors (all except the grandma, I fired her after her first day...long story). It makes my heart happy to hear them laughing and playing around the house. It also frees me up to be with Landon and Rev, and while I will never ever not feel guilty about that, I have decided to put that aside and enjoy it. There is no normal, I can't make everything right, and I am most certainly not perfect. We have put a strong emphasis on Cotton's sensory needs in our program, and I am just thrilled at how quickly the ladies are picking up on what he needs. Seriously, anyone willing to jump on a trampoline in 97 degree temperatures gets my full respect.

Speaking of the "grandma" .... This my friends, appears to be my season to learn how to stand up for myself. I have seriously had so many weird and unexpected things happen in the last few weeks. I have always believed that challenges come into your life to help you grow, and while, these "issues" are not really big deals, they have made me realize that I am a hopeless people pleaser. I really, really don't want to be that person that is always making waves, but eventually you have to stop apologizing for drawing breath. I hope this is not a warning of what is ahead considering my meeting with the school is not until next month, but if it is, I guess I am getting plenty of prep.

Oh, gosh, I can relate to so much of this! From trying not to feel guilt because other people are working with your child and giving you a much needed break to learning to stick up for yourself. Right there with you, fumbling my way along the very windy, bumpy trail!
