Today was hard. My seventeen year old son cried uncontrollably for almost six hours. Luckily I had the day off from work so I was able to try to help him. I’m emotionally and physically drained.

My son ended up taking a nap in the late afternoon so I left and went shopping. I listened to Christmas music on the way to the store. I took my time shopping and bought more than I planned but I didn’t buy anything we didn’t need. We all need a bag of mixed M&M’s, right?

How do you care for yourself?
