Sustainable Mommy

What is up, universe? Someone please help me figure out what is going on with Duncan. Is it just too many new/changing things at once? Is he growing? Is it both? This morning he didn't want to brush his teeth, and then he didn't want to go to school. Is he feeling like he has no control over anything? I know Gertie has something to do with it. I know it's just a phase and things will be better soon ... But I told Eric this morning that I haven't felt this down in a long time. All first world problems, of course, so I'm trying to keep things in perspective, but I know that weaning off these hormones is affecting me as well. I broke down last Wednesday night and told Eric that I'm just so lonely. I have no close friends, and haven't had, since high school. When things happen I call Eric or my mom. I want some close friends - some female friends that are moms that understand what I'm going through. I will admit that this is why I'm on Facebook so much - trying to connect with other people when I'm at home at feeling out of control. Maybe since I feel out of control, Duncan does, too. I know that he "gets" what I am dealing with. I know he is somewhat of an empath, and I have no idea how to help him with it. Maybe I should talk to an adult empath. Hm. We still aren't back into our "rhythm" - hopefully this week helps with that.
