I feel a bit overwhelmed right now. The little guy (he's 2) isn't too bad. Although he's finally overcoming his speech delay, and is CONSTANTLY pointing at things going "what's that?", "what's that?", and so on. It can really get on my nerves. But the 8 year old, he's really a handfull. He's been seeing a therapist for about a month now, and so far nothing has changed. They are working on his anger issues, but like I said, nothing has changed. Today my son threw a major fit because I wouldn't let him have candy close to dinner time. So I told him to go to his room for a time out and time to cool off. He stormed off SCREAMING, then continued screaming in his room, totally trashing his room, overturned tables and all. And even when he's not throwing a fit, he talks NONSTOP. Like he's talking to himself all the time. But he's talking to me, and of course expects a response. I need some quiet every now and then. I can't handle constant noise. I feel like a horrible parent.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
