It's been a long few days managing the details of life - add into the normals stress of a 13 person family the need to replace the refrigerator (after resuscitating it 3 times I gave up), many important broken things that I needed to repair, a escalated level of danger for a few of the FASD kiddos that involved climbing up into all sorts of inappropriate areas and the ongoing battle with our insurance over finding a specialty clinic for those same complex kids....it was a the recipe for a mommy meltdown. Good news is that I didn't blow....I just sort of whimpered myself to sleep and got up this morning with a plan firmly in place.
Storage went from the open shelving to locking cabinets (yeah for the Rick the scrapper - he even delivers!) Because it was a prime location to demonstrate what a lack of impulse control really means.
And several hours on the phone and email with our insurance carrier trying to get referrals started for one of the only two clinics that deal with FASD in Denver. I think we may be working our way around the brick wall I hit with them last week...it's exhausting, but living in a state that is ranked 48th for its services to persons with disabilities I have to make this fight a priority.

Hi Dorothy - I sent you a facebook message about a funny dream I had last night. Not sure how often you check there. Seeing you getting all organized in this post makes the dream all the more funny to me!
Oh, so glad you had the resources (mental, spiritual, monetary) to work out such great solutions to your problems!
And that gate is awesome. I need one like it on my deck--can I ask where you got it?
You inspire me! I know there's even more going on than what you posted about. Thanks for everything and I'm glad you're hanging in there!
You GO, cuz'!
