I’m hanging in here. I have a call in to the doctor to discuss the results of having my son evaluated. I know that I need to have his hearing checked. I don’t know where else we’re going from here; that makes this a bit unnerving. I’m accustomed to being more in control and my life right now is apparently completely OUT of control. Scary stuff.
So, now I’m waiting. Waiting for the doctor to call me back. Waiting for the next meeting about my son. Waiting, waiting, waiting…
I’m a mother with two small children, so I don’t take as much crap as I used to.

This really speaks to me right now. I’ve discovered a new backbone, one might say, since I had my two children. I don’t know if it is simply that I’m too tired to put up with excessive silliness or pointless wastes of time, or that I’ve actually grown, but the end result is that I just don’t tolerate it anymore. Well, my tolerance level for it is much, much lower now. I’m not rude about it; I just simply stand up and say, “You know what? That’s about enough of that!”
I’ve started drawing boundaries with my mother and stepfather, who seem bound and determined to drive me mad. I swear it is just like having children; they’ve pushed me and pushed me and pushed me, like children trying to found out just how much they can get away with. It is a wonderful thing to discover that I can indeed say, “Hey, enough! This isn’t good for me and it is going to stop”, even to my parents. Not only is the new me good for my mental health - it is giving me more self-respect.
I am a mother of two: a three-year-old and a one-year-old. I’m also a college student. (Why, yes, I am insane, why do you ask?) I started school at Virginia Tech as an engineering student but hated it with a passion that was almost holy. I’m currently a computer science major at a community college but heading back into the workforce due to changed circumstances (funny way life has of throwing you curve balls). My interests…sharks, reading, crafts of various types, cooking (when I have time/energy), nature, reading, writing, reading (yeah, I like books)…
