In the middle of my little mess..
One of my favorite "Case songs" is This Is The Stuff by, Francesca Battistelli . The first time I heard it was at CHP during his 38 day NICU stay. My favorite line is: "In the middle of my little mess I forget how big I'm blessed" and "So break me of impatience Conquer my frustrations I've got a new appreciation It's not the end of the world". Granted, I have more "little messes" than parents of all "typical" children. And maybe some of my "messes" are a little bigger than little BUT they aren't burying my son (something I was told to prepare to do) and they aren't going to kill me (well, at least I hope not! Lol). Being a special mom is hard. It's exhausting. You feel constantly on guard for the next "mess". You're frequently fighting with insurance companies, pharmacies and billing offices. You clean up puke more times than you tie your shoe and JUST as you're about to walk...
