I am so grateful for your words of encouragement and exhortation. And also grateful no one judged me as harshly as I judge myself. I feel lucky to be able to write such things and have people respond with sympathy and not disgust. God bless you all for your affirming words to me.

But you are SO right about the inward vs. outward focus! Your kids are learning through this too - that actions have consequences, sometimes good and sometimes not so good. They're also learning that being thankful even when things are yucky may be the only way yucky will change. Being a mom is HARD work and you're working hard at it.

But the tiny violins totally cracked me up. Love to you. I’m sorry for your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But the tiny violins totally cracked me up.
