Thanks for responding. It's usually not this bad. I see improvements in lots of ways. But when I think we're doing better and then we have an episode like this, it's even MORE discouraging because I hoped we were past it. It's hard to explain.

Also, this is just very poor timing because I'm presenting a workshop at an adoption conference today and my view is very clouded this morning. I hardly slept at all last night, and now I'm supposed to encourage people to adopt older children? Ugh. I feel like warning them to run screaming from the idea like I wish I had sometimes. I guess I have to laugh or I'll just keep crying. LOL.
