I feel better about life now that both kids are in school-like, much much better-but I'm still wearing this mantle of anxiety and self-reproach that I think warrants some reflection

I wanted to read your post and kept being pulled away from the screen and keyboard and, just now, a builder called to say he's coming to have a look at out garage (we're talking converting it into an office for me, at last!). The short of it: watch this space, I'll be back soon.
Here I am again. It sounds encouraging, like you're slowly recovering from what the last year put you through (but a slow recovery is properly much more beneficial than a speedy one when it comes to such deep wounds). Embrace the little improvements (celebrate them) and remember to be kind to yourself. I only allow myself to give you that unsolicited piece of advice - ;) - because it's something I know I need to work on myself. I'm reading a book on self-compassion to help with that. So far, none of the exercises have turned my life around but it's helped me spot when I don my own 'mantle of anxiety and self-reproach'.

I agree- not all or nothing. Something I am working on too. I've always been an either/or, all/nothing kinda gal.
You be wise, my friend. Wise.
