It's a band-aid... no really... it is...

I'm a mom. I have two lovely boys. I've had to put one of them in a dayhome, he was there for almost a year. Then daycare and after that preschool. The one thing I understand more than anything. Separation anxiety. I'm not really talking about the what the child goes through. But what the parent goes through. The guilt that you feel for leaving your child. The frustration you feel for not being able to stay home and take care of them yourself.

BUT... and there's always a but... some are bigger than others... hehehe... I've hit a plateau. We all do. Right? Right. But mine has lasted for over a year now. I need something to kick my system back into gear. I've tried a few things. PGX. Chromium Pincolate and White Kidney Bean extract. Etc etc etc. Nothing seemed to really work that well. I've scoured the Internet for something to help me. Something legitimate. Something that has been tried and tested. That people have had success rates with. REAL results.
