What I haven't been saying.

I've been pretty quiet. Pulling back from my usual facebook oversharing. Because when you don't have something nice to say, and all that jazz. I'd been going through something that I didn't see as a problem until it became a big problem. See, moms of 3 kids are supposed to be a little tired, a little mom-brained, a little wiped out.
