I sat with my psychiatrist on Monday and cried about how I feel like the worlds worst mother and how I feel like I've totally screwed up. 

She has decided to add a third drug to my daily regimen to see of that helps control the mood swings. I sure hope it helps, I'm tired of feeling so lousy. 

Yesterday was such a good day with Grace, she was polite and well behaved, and we had such an amazing day that I thought maybe, just maybe I'm not awful and haven't screwed up. Then today I tried to take her to Kmart so we could buy Scott a new shirt for his interviews tomorrow, and she just refused to listen, so I put her in the carriage, where she proceeded to scream and cry, and hit a few times. I took her out of the store and gave her a time out. She settled down until she realized Scott was done shopping and it was time to leave. I got her settled in the carriage and went into the grocery section. When she was settled and listening I let her out to walk, then she threw a fit over marshmallows, she wanted a giant bag of mini marshmallows and we said no cause they'd go to waste and we told her she could have the smaller bag of big marshmallows. Cue another breakdown. And she continued throughout the store, all the way home. And her tantrum varied from marshmallows to video games back to marshmallows and so on. Everyone at the store looked at us as if I was trying to kill her. Now I'm back to feeling like a screw up. 

My appointment with the neurosurgeons has been pushed off a week. But that's okay cause Scott has 2 interviews tomorrow so it makes the day not so long for Grace. 

I really hope he gets offered something soon. I'm trying to have hope, seeing as this is his first set of interviews since November, but I am Laurie, and Laurie doesn't have good luck usually
