So it's no secret that I've really been pretty down the past few weeks. I know, like always, I'll roll out of the gutter and get back to being myself...but right now....I"m just having a really hard time bouncing back.
That being said....I just couldn't resist sharing this with everyone.
Today, after 1 meeting with the school liasion (which didn't exactly go well), 1 speech therapy session, and 1 two hour Early Intervtion playgroup....I was feeling pretty drained, and really needed a pick-me-up. I decided to head to Starbucks (and order a very large iced coffee with lots of sugar!) before going home and finishing the day.
So we're waiting in line, and as I'm telling the barista my order....Ava screams "GET MOMMY'S COFFEE". I just couldn 't stop laughing! I guess it was obvious even to my 2 year old who had been examined and in therapy literally all day....that I was the one who needed something.....RIGHT NOW!!!
As stressful, and heart breaking as things can be sometimes....I sure do love having another little one. She might not be perfect, but at times, I just have that overwhelmeing feeling that she's exactly who she's supposed be. I don't know what the future holds for her, but something tells me.....she'll handle it just fine.
With a little coffee....I might just be o.k. too.

I found your blog through a link on Trevor's blogpage. Your post totally hit home. Why is it that coffee can sometimes make it all better...as if you are just about to go over the edge and lose it but the coffee calms it all down!!! I feel the same way about my daughter Sophie as you do about Ava...she is who she is and I love her for all her quirks. Hopefully you will roll out of the gutter sooner than later.
(((hugs)))

REbecca,
I love the latest and greatest picture of Ava! My heart really goes out to you, especially living with it with Trevor. I think of you often.
