I'm not drinking...haha. Actually I managed to pull myself together shortly before DH got home and had a much better night. I even let him go out and I stayed home with the boys and put DS2 to bed, DS1 was already sleeping.
And for DS1....HE DRANK FROM A SIPPY CUP TODAY!!!!! Years in the making. We've been working on this for so long and today he finally let me put it in his mouth while playing. He took a few sips from it all day this way. I showed DH that he let me do it, and DS1 took it from my hands and proceeded to drink the whole thing on his own!
To my boys: I will love you for you Not for what you have done or what you will become I will love you for you I will give you the love The love that you never knew
We had our yearly geneticist appointment today. We are "doing a really, really good job" and she loves seeing him because he is doing so well.
I am working on trying to lose weight. I call my program Salad Replacement Therapy. The goal is to replace three meals per week with a salad with 95% accuracy. Current Assessment: "Working on it"

I had a really, really rough day with the kids yesterday and didn't blow up. That was an accomplishment itself. Ha. I did hide in my room when dh got home from work because I was just done. Here's hoping today is better.
I actually had a pretty good week for myself! It was so quiet and peaceful for our marriage.
Over a week ago, I finally had the courage to tell off my MIL.
She would call DH every single day asking questions and nagging with negativity why we haven't done anything for DS since she claims we are bad parents. When she visits this would also happen. DH would back out of decisions and let MIL take over and allowing her to walk all over the both of us. (I realize DH also has to work on himself, he needs to stand up for us). DH did not tell her DS was a special needs child.
MIL said I do not love my son twice to my face. I let her have it and told her DS is a special needs child and needs lots of therapy. She blamed me for DS special needs and cursed at me and threatened CPS.
I got tired of the negativity and being stepped on. I am not going to allow anybody to disrespect my family and I.
DH and I had kind of a blow-up this weekend. I feel like we're slacking and half-assing with integrating stuff at home that's beneficial to both girls but especially DD1, and just letting her coast because she's doing so well. She was annoying all of her teammates on the soccer sidelines last weekend and that kind of triggered panic-mode for me.
And of course this becomes "you want to run to a therapist whenever we have a parenting issue" and "well, I'm going most of the heavy lifting" and it was just unpleasant for about 24 hours until we hashed everything out. But we got through it, we got some solid plans in place, and we're doing better. So yay for us.
I got a list of mental health professionals from my PCP yesterday. My anxiety is sky high right now. Now I need to look at insurance and make the call.
