Love the website too — very cute — THANKS!

I can see how you might behave badly when you are tired.

Did you ever hear of the Crabbies?

Too-Tired is a particularly horrible one.

You can then say to LuLu or to one of your other kids, “Hey, I think the too-tired crabbie is here.”

Tiredness of the keeping-up kind can manifest also in late adolescence or early adulthood. It did that for me. I was an energetic child of six, seven and eight.

I think a lot of us with special needs children often do like you have done. We try to help the world around us and get lost ourselves.

It is good for you to take time and be who you are with your friends. The most important thing in life for you and Lu Lu is to know you have each other and you can survive through whatever life sends your way.

Love covers a multitude of sin…crisis, chaos and frustrations as well.

Take Care of you!

Glad you’re going to do some things for yourself. Had to force myself to do that recently. When kid issues get tough, we crash into survival mode and forget about us.

Hard to function that way for a long time. Good reminder.

I have almost always napped when Natasha napped.

Natasha refuses to nap now… and with her ADHD medication on-board I understand why it is difficult for her.

I miss my naps.
