When to draw the line

Do you ever get a thought that poses dought, something that just sticks in your head no mater
what you do to try to forget about it... I often wonder if I do all i can for my Skylar, I wonder can i do more. But at some point I have to remember he is a child who deserves to play, get dirty and just be a kid. I think I should stretch him more, but he hates it when we do it now. I think I need to make him wear his knee splints more and his DAFO's but again he hates all of them. Now I do make him wear all of these things, and we do stretch and do joint compressions and range of motion. I guess Im second guessing myself right now because he does have an elbow contracture, and I feel its all my fault for not making him do more, instead of playing or painting, we should of been doing more to stop that. It isnt stopping him from doing anything. So i guess I need to find the balance I thought I once had, I need to make him do more, even if it means an hour less of play a day. It just stinks, I want him to be as much of a kid as he can. But at the same time he needs to keep heading in the correct direction.

Left Overs

its a dumb one, as a kid i hated left overs. but now I understand why my mom or dad would make us eat them. And I must say I actually LOVE left over night. Mix and match, its our own little smorgasbord. And believe it or not, my kids like left over night too. I was just in the fridge and saw our spread for the night, ribs, chicken, potatoes, pizza and Im sure there is more. I just hate the mystery container (I hate those) if its not fuzzy Im fine, if its fuzzy it gets tossed out container and all.

Pet Pevs

I really hate when people ask the obvious question, I don't know why... but it drives me nuts to be asked something, that you know if that person were to look at what ever and think about what they were going to say, they would in fact answer there own question. I find dumb questions that could be answered by thinking to be stupid and a waste of time. Now don't get me wrong Ill answer a question if someone really doesn't know, but to ask before they have thought about it, to find its the simplest thing annoys me.

What is.....normal???

I think Im a normal mom, a normal wife, a normal person, but yet I hear how exceptional I am with my kids and how I care for Skylar. Caring for your children is normal to me, no matter what. I do not see my self as exceptional, just a loving mom, who would do anything for her kids. So please someone tell me what normal is?
