Yep, that was me
Screaming at my kids in the Wal-Mart parking lot? Rest assured, Sheboygan. That was your fair widow freaking out. No need to ask. It was me in a full-bore temper tantrum.
Got something to say? Go ahead, make my day.

Once when Sean was maybe three, I sat my entire family down on the couch and told them I was leaving them. I was sick and tired living with the ungrateful lot of them. I ranted and raved for about 20 minutes, while poor Sean wiggled on the couch wondering who the crazy lady was. I was seriously going to leave them...until I ranted and raved and the wind came out of my sails. Sometimes the Mom storm just needs to blow through. Yours just blew through at WalMart.

Kate - at least it was walmart.
just before I read this, I was yelling at my daughter to hurry up and get dressed for church. Pretty sure that was not Christ-like behavior on my part

It's okay, Kate. I am a stay-at-home mom, and I have four young children: 13, 10, 7 and 5. I also have a husband to help me out , and I STILL have "temper tantrums". All moms are allowed to have them on occasion.
You are an awesome person, Kate. I sure would love to meet you some day (a friend of mine who attends your church introduced me to your blog spot last summer, and I have been following since). I have never met anyone who can make me laugh and cry at the same time as much as you do!
You truly need to be an author. Your writings are incredible. You can write a book on this journey you are going through. Really, you could. You can do nursing as a side job :).
I am a VW Beetle lover. How is she/he (not sure what gender the car is), working out for you? I had a baby blue VW before children. It was old and not particularly a "family car", so we sold it. I miss it!!!
Take care and keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to all! dk

Its amazeing what this blog has done for me. I had only met Jim a few times, but this story and the memories Dave and Jeri, Sue, Jim, Janet and Judy have shared has made me really pay attention. Not just to your blog but to the message, how precious life is and to keep a prespective on what is really important. You are truely amazing. It may sound insignificant coming from me but I'm am proud of you. I don't think I could be as strong as you have been. I have been reading this off and on but tonight I went back and read the very beginning , Sept 17, 2007, and Sept 17 2008. The journey you have taken is one I hope I never take, but if I had to I hope I am as strong as you. Thank you
PS - It was great to see you and the kids this summer
