Sometimes the things we can't change end up changing us
If you have dealt with getting a blood draw you know how it is. Plain and simple at times if you get the right person who can make it easy. But it can also be like playing a game of roulette. You may get someone who will bruise your vein easier or someone who can't find veins as easy. Yes this is a pain at times. If you go regularly you may be one of the lucky ones and know someone who is great at this job.
Being a Mom is the hardest job, you never know if you are doing it 100% and you question lots of "Mom Life" moments. When you have a child with special needs those moments are magnified and every aspect of life seems to throw itself at you in ways you never knew could exist. Life itself has changed forever and you will wish you could live forever to make sure your child is always cared for the way you do.
Everyday is a new adventure and each year as easier as I would like for it to get it doesn't. Our adventures in Autism and complex medical needs continue...
Advocating for her is hard sometimes. Not only do I have to be her voice, but I have to be the "voice" of her disabilities and abilities . Sometimes I have to talk about her in a way that for me is really hard. As a special needs parent you really try to uplift your child, you try to make them feel important and having an optimistic approach is generally the best option. If you think negative all the time because you can't get over the fact that there are things that will always be different, good luck you wont make it in this mom life....

My tribe is strong and kind. My tribe is real with humility. My tribe sees beauty in all things. My tribe is raw with respect. My tribe understands the power of dreams. My tribe beats with one heart. My tribe is different not less... -K-
Being a mom is rewarding . It's difficult yes and you will constantly question yourself. You will make mistakes and you will triumph while you accomplish some pretty amazing things in life. Being mom is hard though. Sometimes you forget about yourself but you'll still smile because you put your tribe first. Some days you'll run on coffee fumes and rush out the door. You'll be amazed at how much you can do when you need to get those little ones places on time. Being a mom is magical.
Life is sometimes uncomfortable... why you may ask? ..things happen that are hard on us.. changes take place that we didn't think would ever happen and this is life.
My life isn't easy, yes it's full of everyday life events some are great and I would re-live them over and over if I could... others just need to be erased from my mind lol.. but this is true for all of us, and if we did more fun things and put ourselves in the vibrant world around us trying to do more and live life to it's full potential we could "throat punch the devil" too...
