Being a parent is tough. Being a parent with major anxiety challenges is a big fat bonus. Being a parent with major anxiety challenges in a monster hurricane with countless tornado warnings that are expected to go on for the next several days is simply fabulous beyond words.
So naturally my kids are now sleeping in the closet. Literally. I thought that making them camp out in the living room was my most annoying mom move for the summer, but apparently I was wrong. Way to go me. Always upping the stakes!
If it’s your style, we would truly appreciate your sending some prayers or a little light our way. This isn’t my favorite evening so far, and it’s really just beginning for those of us who inhabit the areas surrounding the Texas coast.
Thank you so much dear friends. Joanna

I’m actually writing a kids interactive book on this very topic. Anxiety is real and we often forget to thoroughly discuss this with kids and allow them to process this. Great post
Oct 22, 2017 @ 11:03:29
You’re absolutely right. What a wonderful topic to choose. That’s a really gift honey. ❤️
Oct 22, 2017 @ 12:17:33
Thanks for the reply. I’ll keep you updated on how it goes.
