Contemplating the cost of mental healthcare

   Wow, what a morning! I get up this morning with the intent to give my boys a happy treat and take them for donuts on the way to school. They do a wonderful job getting ready and finishing everything up. Then my oldest son comes into the bathroom and says mom Hayden is out of his ADD medication. WHAT?! Did I mention today Hayden has STARR testing?! Well he does and if he does not pass said test he does not pass 5th grade! Crap on a cracker!!! Now I lose my mind I am stomping my size 6 feet, and hollering and demanding explanations from these two boys who have obviously decided I am insane and are wondering how they will pay for my mental health care for most of their adult lives!
   I call my husband and explain this horrendous life shattering event.....and he said "OK" What? OK? How dare he not see the explosive impact of this!! I continue with my previous plan of fast tracking on the road to insanity! And that man has the nerve to say to me " I love you, do you think this is helping, or could there be another solution?" Aw man, he's right...gotta turn it around.
   How many times have I told my boys throwing a fit doesn't make it any better, but here I am knee deep in a hot fit! So now then, I have to tell them I'm sorry, and that we will figure it out, and that I was way out of line. Well guess what no one is perfect. And the only way your mistakes can become epic fails is if you refuse to accept them as mistakes and instead choose to deny any wrong doing. My boys know I'm a mess, and they know I love them and want the very best for them in any situation. They know I will mess up and offer apologies and fix whatever I can. They have a heart of mercy towards me, and they just love my stinkin guts!! So we moved on.
  We sat and we prayed together. I told them I was sorry and was forgiven. We moved on. I called our friend and pharmacist. He met me at the pharmacy and gave me one pill to get us through. Hayden took it like a big boy and we headed to Highland. I got Chance to text my boss and tell him I was running late and would be there asap. They got to school with ten minutes to spare and I was three minutes late for work. in all things  Romans 8:28 and we know that God works for the good of those who love him!
