Can We Talk?
I did something today that I never dreamed I would do...I drew my daughter eyebrows with my brown eyeshadow. It has been a tough year and one look at DQ will prove it to you. She has spent the last several weeks at school pulling out her eyelashes and eyebrows. My heart just breaks when I look at her. Today was picture day for her volleyball team. She cried when she looked at her face in the mirror. I did the only thing I could think of...I drew her eyebrows on with makeup. They looked surprisingly realistic and her glasses helped disguise the fact that she has no eyelashes. We have talked and talked and talked about ways to help her stop. She doesn't pull on either at home, only at school. Summer cannot come soon enough. I am hopeful they will grow back and life will go on...I realize that may not happen. For now I am praying that it does.
DQ is a really good kid...she needs a break.

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com
