This Is the Thing

I altered the "disabled child area" sign to make a point. I expect way too much of myself. I hate asking for help. I want to do it all myself, but I can't. Give me a break society's expectations of mothers, Martha Stewart, perceived judgments of strangers, and most of all my own ridiculous standards. I didn't get this way by myself. I taught the people around me not to offer help until I ask for it and myself to be ashamed to ask.

I'm working on giving myself a break here. Feel free to offer assistance or moral support. Life is super hard right now.
