And yes we are firmly in the "taters and eggs" camp when there's a crisis or exhaustion. Usually fried potatoes with egg scrambled in at the end. Sometimes some Butter Chicken seasoning mix tossed in. The Indian grocery store and the Indian restaurant at the gas station in our community are great places for comfort food too. Daal and rice.
I'd love to see the day when the needs aren't considered "special" or "exceptional" -, that everyone has access to an education that is simply tailored to a person's individual strengths and support needs.
Sing it sister! Hallelujah for sharing your truth. Life is hard sometimes and some seasons of it are long. We need to share that more to help carry each other through the hard times.
Thank you for writing about your struggles! If I ever met Wil Wheaton or Jenny Lawson I thank them too. All of the things the three of you have written about have made me a more compassionate parent to my neurospicy kiddos (and husband ... oh heck to myself too).
Oh and the $1 frosty is one of the best dollars you could spend!
That's the thing. We're so grateful, if we struggle (and who does not), when we read other people's stories. That's why I write. More compassion for others? Yes, please.

"We need to share that more to help carry each other through the hard times." That needs to be a poster in every room in America.
Thank you, Barbara.
I so agree!
Mashed potato, a fried egg and ketchup. Hits the cheap comfort spot every time.
Your stance on sharing is perfect. We need these stories so we can an be seen.
I'm making this. Sounds amazing. (I might use sriracha instead.)
Thank you.
