Did you know you could scream so hard that the tiny capillaries under your eyes can rupture? I have a second child now that has managed to do it. It's like tiny poke a dots under her eye.
Did you know if you left a half a cup of coffee sitting for who knows how long it turns into a thick sludge that will stick to the person you throw the cup at? It will make them smell so bad and feel like they have been covered in goo.
I discovered I could still protect my child with throbbing pain in my foot. It's crazy how your mind will shut off the pain in order to help them.
I looked forward to a quiet day with the baby today after a hard weekend.
About Me
- Tudu
- Deep South, United States
- I am the mother of 10 children, 6 are part of a large sibling group we adopted through foster care in 2006, 2 are our grown foster daughters, 2 are from independent infant adoptions in 2001 and 2008. Every one of them have their own issues to work through from Schizo-Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy. Most of our children have been victims of sexual abuse by a close family member, most acted out sexually or exhibited predatory behaviors. We are currently trying to figure out where the trauma ends and mental illness begins in each of their lives.

oh my! ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))
I was going to swing by last night to hug you before I drove home from the RTC but I was too exhausted and I was worried that an unexpected visit would upset the brood.
so ((((((((HUGS)))))))))
sorry it couldn't be in person!
responding to your comment on my "oh dear" post (which I've moved to my other private blog because it shows the raw emotion and not my morning-after-objective-opinion-of-the-situation) I just want to say,
I love you! Will you be my new best friend?
I have thrown up (while pregnant) so hard I broke those capillaries. It's not pretty.
