It was an interesting day today.  My son spent some time with a friend at the Science Museum so my husband and I had the opportunity to check out Amore Coffee and Common Good Books.  To read about my first visit to Common Good Books, please check out my post at Rudigirl's World.

It's been a stressful week with my son feeling overly anxious about everything you can think of, so it was good to have a little break to step outside the routine and discover something new.  My heart goes out to him when he's like that but it's also frustrating because he's been clinging to me more and more and after almost eighteen years of like episodes, you start wondering what else you can do to help, and is there anything I'm missing?  You feel guilty for wanting to get away from it but know you could lose your sanity if you can't step away for even a moment.  Your heart aches because of what he puts himself through and just hope and pray that something you try to help ease his anxieties and fear will finally click and break the cycle. 

Frankly, I'm a feeling a bit fried this evening so I think I'll say goodnight, finish my post at Rudigirl's World and call it a night.  Sweet dreams to you.
