I am thankful for this thread actually as this week I have been feeling pretty low as well I think it's because of the long winter, the problem child who I finally terminated after 6 months...and then had a great week and now new dcg is adjusting and that is sooooo draining. I am fighting a cold and feel my patience is very low although I try not to let it show with the kids. I have felt like giving up this week...and I am usually a determined person. I know new kids take time to adjust, but this one tricked me into thinking she would be very easy with a great first week...I find myself second guessing my decisions, abilities, etc. I am overly sensitive and a bit irritable and tired. Thank you to those of you who posted about all the positives because I know those are the things that help me get through bad days or weeks as well. Here's to a better week next week
