My beautiful, hectic life as a family of four dealing with Cerebral Palsy.
Raising a special needs child and having many connections within the special needs community, not to mention other parent who have had premature babies, I’m quite familiar with McHappy Day and the Ronald McDonald houses that are available for parents (and relatives to stay) while their children are receiving treatment in a hospital. Thankfully, my [...]
Jillian’s appointment is on Wednesday and from generosity of people (for the most part) I have never met in real life, this is astonishing!! Before Rhea put the auction live yesterday, we had raised $700 in CASH to go towards Jillian’s injections on Wednesday. I keep saying thank you SO many times, and I really [...]
For the second time this week, I have been absolutely speechless. The way you all have rallied around us, my family, my daughter, our struggle. I can’t say enough. I put together a vlog tonight. Please pay no attention to the girl with her hair in a pony tail, half crying and eternally grateful. Thank [...]
Does anyone else remember that song from the late 90′s or did I completely date myself? (You might not want to answer that…I’m fragile) That one song could pretty much sum up my whole entire day yesterday…”You get knocked down, you get up again” So far, I’m still stuck on the knocked down part.
Yesterday was [...]
I laugh on the outside. I pretend that I’m tough. In fact, this post would probably go very well with my Follow-Up to Glee Project. I explained there (if you don’t feel like reading back) that a word that I would use to describe me is “Fragile”. I suppose I pussy-footed around the reasoning behind [...]
I have mentioned before that I lost 60 lbs. (I chalk this up to one of my greatest accomplishments besides procreating and playing 10 different instruments) After I was satisfied with my weight, 178 pounds from 238, I decided to reintroduce carbs. Thankfully what the Zone did for me before was to kick start my [...]
I honestly had one of the worst days in a LONG time today. This is just a warning, but this might get a little ranty, feel free to hit the red “X” at the top of your screen. (a little disclaimer… I filed our taxes today. I took them to get them done [...]
Well, the day has come. Tomorrow, I get up and register Lauren for Junior Kindergarten. Somewhere, in the back of my mind is a little voice saying “nooooo. you’re making it all up! She’s not 4! She’s not starting school in September! Look how itty bitty she is!!”
*Sigh* she’s not my itty bitty baby anymore. [...]
Tonight I was doing my nightly thing. Reading blogs, talking with Rhea, TRYING to blog. I had the screen open, everything that I typed sounded witty in my head and then just stupid on screen. So, I procrastinated some more. I even opened twitter, trying to procrastinate just a little more. Of course, everyone is [...]
I’m currently reading a book by the amazingly talented Dawn Meehan who blogs at Mom 2 My 6 Pack. The book is called “You’ll Lose the Baby Weight (and Other Lies about Pregnancy and Childbirth)” (I really feel weird that I have to say this up front, but I was NOT compensated in any way [...]
