complicated

I don’t know how to not let anxiety take over.

I’m waiting for a referral for a spinal tap, but haven’t heard anything.

I’m trying to get my son tested for dyslexia, but I keep getting the runaround – pediatrician, school, school board. You have to follow this chain of command, and just through all these hoops, and wait for all these calls and emails to be answered, and meanwhile he falls behind while also being way smarter than other kids his age and it makes no sense.

With those two huge worries, smaller worries become more exacerbated – the rising cost of living, a chaotic baseball schedule, tomato hornworms, this part on my car that keeps falling off randomly that can be popped back in place but is very annoying.

And then it’s summer so the kids are here which they’re always here anyway but now they’re here with no schedule and a mom too anxious to make them one or at least make them stick to it. It’s fruit roll ups for breakfast and video games all day because it’s been raining for a week straight and mom is waiting on emails.
