Laughter.....I thought I would be blogging all the time about Sarah's laughable antics, but I realized that it is sometimes hard to blog when I really have a hard time disclosing to close family and friends what is exactly going on and what I have experienced.

I was in with my therapist this week and she asked me, "Shelley how have you made it through this year?"   I really honestly do not know.  I did not have an answer for her and I do not have an answer now.   I probably could give you the Christian response of God has carried me through, but I truly don't know during this season of my life.   She thinks it has been my humor.   I talk to her about things that have happened and I always put a humorous spin on things.   I'm not sure why, but maybe this is how I cope.   I look at my beautiful daughter and can't possible think of a life without her.  I enjoy so many moments with her.    I wished I could have this perspective during the trials and turmoil.   Her issues are real and the struggle is real.

I will tell you one story......I had to laugh with my friend, Debbie, because she understand the struggle.   Sarah has been begging for a bra....Ok for like two years she has been begging for a bra.  She always yells out in stores that she wants a bra.   Louder if she gets an audience!!!   I always tell her No, she isn't old enough.   Well, there are girls already developing in third grade, yes hard to image, but I finally agreed to an exercise under garment.   OK NOT THE BEST CHOICE!! Thinking back I should of waited until summer.   I didn't.....another great mommy moment was in the making.   Did I tell you her classroom is right next door?   Well, it is and my sixth graders love to egg her on with her mischievous antics or as I like to say....inappropriate.   Sarah came running over from her class during my lunch break.   I was just about to enter my classroom with some 6th grade girls.   Sarah came running over with paper stuffed into her exercise bra and yells out, "I've got big boobs!!" I grabbed her, took her in my room, and removed the paper.   I sent her back to class with the 6th grade girls telling her to twerk.   Why they do this is beyond my understanding?   They laugh and Sarah laughs.   I'm way too conservative for these types of things.   Later, I talked to her teacher and Sarah took off the exercise bra in class and exposed herself in the process.   I figured out later that she had not had all of her meds at school that day.   Laughter.....thanks Debbie for laughing with me about it because if I didn't have laughter I would probably just be a hermit at home!!
