Somehow, N ended up with band on his schedule. When we picked the schedules up at&#8230;]]></description>

Mad that his ADHD and Asperger&#8217;s has stolen the joy from him and now he&#8217;s always. ALWAYS. Glass-half-empty. I&#8217;m sad that the boy who used to love to&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Mama, There&#8217;s this path we&#8217;re all on called Motherhood. In the beginning, most of us set out following the same path. Hospital. Birth pictures. Going-home outfit. Strapping the sweetest little bundles of heaven into these gargantuan plastic carriers, designed specifically to keep those bundles safe. Everything we do is for them from that point&#8230;]]></description>

It takes me weeks to find the right planner, and I’ll admit that this isn’t the first year I’ve purchased a new planner mid-year because the first one and I didn’t jive so well together.
