RE: DarkAngel's Ramblings, etc.
That is good. You have a son who is being responsible and a daughter who wants you proud of her for the right reasons, so let people talk! That is all very good, and I do agree with the teacher, as that is not that clingy. She will most likely grow out of it or get used to the class soon, as she needs you there to help with dealing with the new. The new what, well that is not for me to say or to judge on what it is. It may be some of the other students, the newness of it being during another period of time, etc. You are connected well with your kids, and it is all good and magnificent in everything and in every way. Her doing well and him wanting to participate in a way that was not disruptive are proof you are a good mother, and that is wonderful in my mind.
As for the nerve pain, I am sorry you are going through that, and I really hate that it is happening. I didn't mean to scare you with any of my "theories", just that I have had some nerve issues of my own that have little or nothing to do with my diabeties.. and some that have been either amplified or eliminated by it, but I digress. I am glad to hear that it will go away, just wish it were sooner for you. It sucks being in pain for any reason, and I do keep you in my thoughts that it will pass sooner than that.
I do hope that your day is going superbly, and that your daughter continues doing as well as she is in her dance class. Your son, well he is on his way being a great kid as well, but him starting school soon I do hope that will keep up. I think it will though, as it seems to be a very stable pattern of development you are encouraging and reenforcing positively, and again that is proof you are a good mother.
I seem to gush a lot on that.. but take it from me.. I know some bad mothers.. and you are so not a bad mother. I hope that sounds the compliment I am meaning it to be.
