thanks to you all for the response.  i had written and deleted the previous post many times, for fear of…  i’m not sure what.  fear of being judged.  fear that people wouldn’t believe me.   fear that no one would respond at all.

but you guys did, and i feel much, much less alone.

some good news i should report is that the latest Rx we’re trying – a sustained-delivery system (in the form a patch) – seems to be working really well, without big swings.  hard to say for sure (we’re just on day 3) but it looks promising.

also, Elsa had her first swimming lesson yesterday.  i was afraid it was going to be awful – high potential for a very public meltdown of epic proportions.   but it went, well…  swimmingly.

finally, the rather epic bad news:  today is the first day of what will be five weeks without childcare.   the au pair quit (citing Elsa as the reason, which made me want to punch her) and the new one won’t arrive until September 10.

pray for us.
