There ar...It does seem like when it rains it pours. There are times when I say, why why why? Things just seem to build and build. I hope today is much better! I know what you mean about school. We put Boyd in MDO when he was 19 months old b/c I was losing my mind. Then, I had this panic a year later, and took him out. I realized that these days will pass, and even on the hard ones, I wanted him with me for as long as I could. I won't have as much control once he starts kindergarten, so I decided to milk it for all it's worth. I do have him in a Pre-K starting this fall, just because he is at the point where he longs for interaction with other kids. I love when people DON'T give me unsolicited advice. ha. Know what I mean. I think we all know our kids best and we do what is best for them. Some need preschool, some don't, some of us mommies want our babies a little longer. Sorry for the rant, I'm just very passionate about moms doing what is best for their kids, and I think you've got it nailed! :) Loved your post, even though you have had some rough stuff. xoxo.Nicollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144472105892524890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-65055341952216540992012-04-04T10:57:13.544-07:002012-04-04T10:57:13.544-07:00BELIEVE ME... I know the comments you are talking ...BELIEVE ME... I know the comments you are talking about!! (I think if you search through my blogs, you will find some old ones ranting about the same thing!) I have had **real** fears since Maddox was born about him being in the care of someone other than myself. And still, almost 4 years later, he hasn't stayed over night from me just a handful of times-- and there are few people on the list that I trust to leave them with at all!<br />Until now, I haven't felt it necessary-- since he has always been above average in the learning department and said things like, "he'll have the rest of his life to be in school"... but now that we are closer to real school, I am scared that he will be the whiney kid that no one wants to be friends with if we don't show him that the world isn't always in love with him like we are?!?! <br />Even at church, they always say how well he minds and CLEANS... and that kind of makes me feel sad-- he neds to rebel a little... play rowdy... get hurt, I guess...<br />But we will see. We are going to tour the school in a few hours and now Lance is the one dragging his feet!! He is afraid Beckham will be sad without Maddox around!!<br />(I'm a little nervous about the new expense, honestly.... but I know he will enjoy it!)<br /><br />Yay about your camera... although I am still clueless as to how to use it-- it is an expense that I have NEVER regretted!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01806111444795138169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-37926761422620407692012-04-04T09:50:51.656-07:002012-04-04T09:50:51.656-07:00Hi Holly!

Even ...You already know I love your honesty Holly! Even when it pours...I can tell in your writing that you get over things quickly and can see things in a new light. I did find some humor in your post over your family pictures...and the fact that you forgot to tell your tax man about your new addition! I sure hope we get to see those family pictures! We have never had a family picture taken...how sad is that?!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261448185892388252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-11901572639896830602012-04-03T14:09:20.000-07:002012-04-03T14:09:20.000-07:00good luck to you and maddox on MDO! it breaks my h...good luck to you and maddox on MDO! it breaks my heart to think about sending wyatt somewhere even if its only for a couple hours or for his own good. honestly if i have to hear one more time from someone "he needs his social time" im pretty sure i will rip their head off, seriously! it makes me rebell. anyways back to you... i hope it goes well for both of yall :) oh and i got the cannon rebel t3 and im in love, thanks! lesleeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-53460177311142684202012-04-03T13:51:35.365-07:002012-04-03T13:51:35.365-07:00I will always tell you that I absolutely love your...I will always tell you that I absolutely love your honesty Holly.<br />The more honest posts I read from you, the more I like you because you are REAL.<br />I'm glad things are looking up now. It always is small in the grand scheme of things, but when it all rains down at once it never feels very good!<br /><br />ps- Hannah always gets those real high fevers when she gets sick too and it freaks the heck out of me. ibu does help them though, but man is that no fun. glad your boys are better now.<br /><br />cheers to a new day. and a good mood. :)Gennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815135197726456794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821703962726700908.post-9129960856377978672012-04-03T11:04:28.726-07:002012-04-03T11:04:28.726-07:00I am constantly struggling with my fear.
