Children with disabilities

Some days feel heavier than others

Today was one of those days.

I was about to leave to pick the girls up from camp, and before I could even get her and Av into the car, I was cleaning up a huge mess. Then halfway to camp, I had to pull over because Emma needed seizure intervention.

And somewhere between the mess, the rushing, the worry, and trying to keep everyone else going, I caught myself thinking, Why does it feel like I’m being punished?

I’m not sharing this because I need anyone to feel sorry for me. I’m sharing it because sometimes this is what our life looks like.

It’s messy. It’s exhausting. It’s unpredictable.

And sometimes I just need to admit that I’m tired of being strong because I feel as if I’m being punished.

Tomorrow I’ll get up and do it all again. But today, I’m allowed to say that today was really, really hard. ❤️
