Another sucky Thursday

Well, on the plus side, Jaymes proved to everyone that he doesn't NEED a reason to have a tantrum. I guess getting out of the car really upset him or something, he pitched a huge fit and screamed and cried all the way up to the therapy place. I'm kind of relieved he only had the two sessions today, rather than three, as I don't think he would have handled three.

I'll spare you the gory details, just go back and read last Thusday's blog entry. And the Thursday before that. It's always the same. I'm getting kind of sick of all of this, to be honest. Kinda upset too, because I ended up stuck in the waiting room during Jaymes PT.

I get it, I'm probably annoying as hell to therapists. I talk too much. I don't get any human interaction, aside from Jaymes and Sierra (because as previously stated, Jason barely speaks to me and I don't get out much) so I tend to babble. And I understand, he probably does do better without me in there.

But this is my thinking on the issue... If my presence makes Jaymes act so much worse (and, admittedly, it does) how is working with him away from me going to help, when every other minute of the day he spends WITH me? If he can't function with me around, he needs to learn to. Unless something unforeseen happens, he's got to deal with me being around.

Forgive my lack of coherent thought, I'm really tired and stressed out and irritable.

Oh, honey. I actually loved your logic here, I thought it was priceless. I really feel for you, and I think you're Supermama.

Sadly, I do not think his therapists would be quite so amused. I've always been fond of my own logic though.
