Last time I sat down to write one of these things, I was filled with optimism. That's what a good day will do for you. You see that light at the end of the tunnel, you slap on those sunglasses and head right for it. Too bad the little sucker's batteries die just as you get close enough to touch it.
It's tough to see your kids struggle. But it's even tougher to see them making the same mistakes over and over again. Stepping in only makes matters worse and butting out is impossible. Especially when they're sleeping down the hall. You're caught in that "no mans land" they talk about on the tennis court and no matter what you do, somebody ends up feeling lousy.
And until somebody turns that light back on, it's me.
