My younger son is apparently going through another testosterone surge and is being incredibly aggressive and is triggering my fight or flight and also my older son's.
His behavior is like torture because he just can't stop.
If you leave the room he follows, still talking.
So today, on the verge of tears, I said screw it and drove to the grocery store with the kids.

Because it wasn't long ago that I was using Coinstar to buy diapers.
There's nothing like everyone turning their heads because of the clank clank clank of coins.
But today I was able to buy what I wanted, naturally on sale, and not feel like it was foolish.
This world shouldn't operate this way.
@Shelter I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time. I wish I had advice to give you, but this is beyond me. All I can do is offer you a virtual hug and hope the situation improves quickly. ❤🤗❤
May the Possum of Perpetual Peace smile upon you and yours. 🙂

I found chicken on sale cheap.
I found nectarines because there's a peach shortage.
And then I ran around grabbing a few more things.
And I drove home and started to cook.
And as I cooked my shoulders dropped and I started to relax.
As I relaxed my younger son threw fewer fits.
I'm so unbelievably grateful that we're financially in a place where I can buy 1.99 a pound nectarines and $5 chicken and a $4 can of chipotles.
