My blog about parenting biological and adopted kids, some with everyday kid issues and some with much more serious medical/behavioral issues. I don't care if anyone else ever reads this, my main purpose is for me to have somewhere to vent some of my thoughts, frustrations and successes. If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not. My kids are everything to me, I love them more than anything, but sometimes I just need to let it all out!

Perhaps everyone has a bit of good somewhere inside even when maintaining a macho, in-control, ruling-lord faced that s/he hopes everyone else will believe.
