All that for nothing.

It's been a stressful day ... for many reasons.

To top it all off, I just opened a letter we got in the mail today from our speech therapist. She is leaving the practice ... effective December 17.

And I am seriously about to lose it ... emotionally.

After everything we have worked for this past year or so ... gone. I understand Payton's speech won't be gone, but everything it took to get her there ... gone.

It took her MONTHS to warm up to this therapist. MONTHS to get to a point where she trusted her and would work with her. Those MONTHS were very stressful for me ... because who wants to bring a kid into therapy and have her say "No!" for the entire session?

Not me.

Now ... Payton loves her speech therapist. LOVES HER. And our speech therapist is SO good with the girls ... and has gotten them so far. Remember this post?

I know this may seem ridiculous to some people, but I feel like we are back at square one. And I suppose getting this news after an already stressful day isn't helping.

Sigh.

Sometimes I just get sick of everything we have to go through. In the end, it is so worth it ... but every once in awhile I get burnt out.

Today is one of those days.
