So today was ok. I slept a lot.
I am having a heavy cycle and wonder if my iron is low. Since it has
started I am extremely tired. I will see how is goes next month and if
it is the same I will start pre-natals because I just can not stand
iron pills. YUCK!This with the guest here are much better. But, her
ex-husband seems to think he runs the show here. It is hard to let
someone know they are over stepping boundaries when you have no
communication with them. I am feeling more anxious at times. But, I
think at the same time parts of my depression are getting better. I am
praying a lot more in my times of need. I am crying far less over
things. I really just need a friend I can trust with my heart to cry
out to at times of need. Not complain to, just talk it out with. Jimmy
does a lot of listening but the kids need his attention and mine. I
think the cycle I am having as me less emotional than the last one.
Though, I have to admit I was upset I was not pregnant. I know God has
plans for us and obviously despite my want, it wasn't being pregnant.
Oh well.
Today Jimmy and I took the kids to PetCo. We were going for pet
supplies, a red eared slider and a new hermit crab. When we went to
check out there was no cashier, and the store was spookishly quiet.
Joaquin started flapping (which he hasn't done in so long) and crying
he wanted to go home. So I took him outside and into the van. Maggie
came out with us. He was afraid that we were going to get locked into
the store. There was such panic in his eyes. I felt bad for him. We
have made such progress on out own with his special needs. So much so
one doctor said they think he doesn't have Autism. I was so mad. I know
my child. That is a rant for another day. When his daddy and brothers
came out of the store he was finally calmed down that they were not
being locked in. I love my Joaquin. Sometimes it hurts so bad that
people don't think he is special because he doesn't have that look.
They think he is just lazy or a brat! It hurts. He doesn't really have
outbursts often and can control or tell us when he is feeling a certain
way. This is something we have done on our own, and of course prayed
about. God gave us him for a reason, chose us special to be his family.
When he couldn't talk and couldn't tell us how he felt or what he
needed it hurt so bad. To have your two year old just cry, it's
heartbreaking. I thought I had done something wrong.Later I realized
that me helping him learn to express himself in certain ways it what he
needed. I held him a lot, even when he didn't like it. So some people
said he was just spoiled.
I know I can't shelter my kids from the world, or hurt. But, I wish I
could.I am so glad I homeschool. I know if Joaquin was in public
school, I would be worried.
