bouncing back

It seems that all of growing up (and all the subsections of things a person learns while doing so) is a series of two-steps-forward-one-step-back.  I apparently do not handle the one-step-back portion of things, either in the student or teacher role.  I told Travis that I had just kept betting that the next day would be the day we could start moving forward again and I was beginning to feel crazy for doing so.  But finally, yesterday, the "laughing Elmo" undies survived the entire day.  There was much celebrating, a highly-hyped lollipop after supper, and today, several successes.  I guess I just had to hit bottom emotionally, and that's her cue to start moving forward again.  What a basketcase I am!

Thanks, everyone, for your support.  I hope that someday, when I escape this sleep-deprived fog, I still resemble the fun person I used to be.
