My Kid the Handy Person

So, today's been hard.

Really hard. It hurts so bad that I don't even know how to explain it, like a hurt so deep I'd do anything to tear it out. It hurts so deep that I can't *feel* it almost; but I hear myself screaming, so it has to hurt.

I tell myself, over and over, it will pass. I have faith. I survived the last episode. This one will stop. They stop. They always stop. I can do this.

I can.

Goddamnit.

The good news is that the a/c unit backed up and the teenager not only dealt with her mother who had a complete meltdown, but she organized the advice from the grandparents, used creative problem solving skill, and fixed it.

Yeah, I have the single greatest kid in the history of kids.

My very capable teenager.

Go you, angel baby.
