Say what you mean and mean what you say. Sometimes disappointments and disagreements can be totally prevented when people just communicate. The past few weeks have been incredibly difficult. With my "intern" quitting and then deciding to circumvent "the system" (more on this later) it's just been too much. Momma did NOT say there'd be weeks like this.
I, however am a firm believer that when one door closes, at least a window opens somewhere to allow you to change your perspective or get some fresh air and a new outlook. At the moment I can see the window. Now if only I could get that tricky latch unhooked. Sometimes I feel trapped by this whole thing. A community I helped to facilitate the creation of is now growing independently of me. Day to day there are so many issues. So many issues. But when I attend one of our events see interested parents grateful for the service we provide and see really lovely people disguised as babysitters for a moment actually it all feels worth it.
