[tri-med] Re: handicapped parking permit - and feeling sorry for myself again.....


Irene, Vent away!!  I know almost exactly how you
feel, except I just have Faren right now.  There will
be another bundle of "joy" coming in the next couple
of months.  I sware, just getting Faren TO the car
seat and IN the car seat is just too exhausting.  That
usually means carrying her to the car along with a bag
and getting a stroller or wheelchair in the van. 
Going anywhere with her isn't the same h*ll it used to
be.  It's a different kind of h*ll now.  Now that her
behavior is better, she's actually very tolerable to
take to stores and restaurants.  I am very thankful
for that.  But just the act of getting her in the car
seat, out the car seat, into the wheelchair..and then
all that again but back into the car.  AAGGH!  I often
think how much easier the whole ordeal would be if she
was normal and could just walk to the car and get in
herself.  Thankfully Faren goes to school and I can
get most my errands done on my days off of work or in
the evening when Rick gets home.  But if it's just me
and her alone at home, the thought of just running to
the store real quick is OUT!!  I used to do it all the
time with her like that, but I am truly exhausted of
that already.  Can't wait to do it with 2!!  


Peace and good will toward all things,
Michelle Wilson, mother to our BIG GIRL(ok, really the forever baby), 
Faren(t18,  5 yrs old!!), the Barbarian. Oh, and wife to Rickeeeeee!

Oh, to have a lodge in some vast wilderness, where rumors of oppression and 
deceit, of unsuccessful and successful wars may never reach me anymore.
