is it delsym?

today while i was helping c get ready for school we were standing in the bathroom laughing after the bristles of his tooth brush literally came off in his mouth. i thought of the many times recently i've told them "no" when they ask for a new tooth brush at the store. it's funny the things you take for granted when there's money in the bank account. when there's a bank account at all (ha ha, that's funny, right?). things like buying a new tooth brush or tampons without a second thought. he picked up the new bottle of melatonin that my mom purchased for me hoping it might help me sleep better at night (which is has by the way). he asked me what it was and i told him it was a small pill that i take to help me sleep at night. is it medicine? no, it just helps me relax so i don't worry and so i can sleep. oh, it must be delsym. i know all about delysm, i seen it on tv.

he's so funny. they're so funny, these kids. the way they process information and how they articulate it. since my last post, c has won two wrestling matches (lost two too ..). oh, if only you could have seen his face when they raised his arm for the first time. it was priceless.

so back to the melatonin. the melatonin my mom bought for me because she's like that, she worries about me not sleeping. always thinking of me and here for me even when she's not physically here. she shared in every joy and every pain willingly and sincerely which is amazing to me because there's been a lot of stress and a lot of pain lately and i feel so guilty for burdening her with it all. her love is truly endless. her devotion to me and to my family is limitless. we're slowly learning how to be comfortable in an uncomfortable situation and her encouragment means so much.

thank you for the melatonin mom. i slept great last night.

Gotta love those pharmaceutical commercials! Wait until the day comes when he realizes that the side effects of the drugs being advertised are farrrrrrr worse than the symptoms you are supposed to take them for. I hope you continue sleeping better! It makes everything a tad bit easier when you've had at least a little sleep.

That is awesome that you have such love and support from your Mom. Makes the world feel not as hectic and crazy I bet. I have heard about Melatonin. Good to know it really works. I keep getting the vibe that life is crazy for you right now and I just wanted to say that I am sorry for all the stress. You seem to be handeling it well and you also seem to be surrounded by many people who love you tons. I wish I was closer so I could be there to hang with you and help out too. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love ya Em. it's been great to get to keep up with you and your fam. For that reason I am in love with blogging. Keep your chin up!
