Yesterday was a just a whole day. It wasn’t bad, until it was, and then it just…sucked. It started off more or less typically, we were preparing for my brother and his girlfriend (who we’ve never met before) to arrive. I got some major anxiety in the morning and started panic cleaning, despite having cleaned …
Well, in NOT so typical Monday fashion…I’ve been asked to cancel my day today. A typical Monday for me looks like, dropping my son off at school, dealing with the 2 younger ones at home, then picking my son up early from school, taking all 3 kids to therapy (one has OT, one has PT, …

When I woke up yesterday, I was so excited it was Friday. As you may or may not know by now, Friday is the one day of the week that I don’t have any standing appointments. Often, I’ll schedule doctor appointments on Fridays, but not always. My excitement for my “quieter than normal day” quickly …

Today was harder than it should’ve been. I’ll detail that more tomorrow, I promise. But today was hard. I got through it…we got through it. It didn’t end it tragedy. It didn’t end tragically. Yet, I’m still struggling. Today was triggering. My son’s health was seriously jeopardized. He’s fine. It’s fine. He’s safe. But I …
After nearly 6 hours of driving, an hour and a half of actual face time with the doctor, and 1 and a half blowouts…we made it home late on Tuesday night, with probably more questions than answers. It boils down to “it’s complicated”. There’s no clear path when it comes to our family and our …
Today is the day I’ve been dreading. The day we take our 12 month old to Dallas for his super big important emergency appointment to see our neuromuscular doctor. She’s worked with our family for a good few years, and she’s pretty much the head doctor in their care. Remember, we have a super weird …
Ah, yes. Another Monday that starts with an 8am doctor appointment. To be honest, most days lately begin this way. Such is the life when you have 3 special needs kids, I suppose. Mondays are typically my busiest day of the week, with constant driving and appointments and back and forth…but they always end in …
Sometimes, life gets rough. And it gets you down. And it can be incredibly hard to keep going and keep fighting when it seems like everything that happens, ends poorly. That’s how it’s felt for me lately. Everything is hard. Everything I do is wrong. These things just keep happening. Truly horrible things. My newly …

You know those nights that you can just…..predict where they’re going to go? Somewhere around 5pm today, that happened. I knew exactly where this night was going to go, and I asked my husband to help prevent that. Earlier in the day, he got frustrated with me. Me, already being sensitive, thought “oh great, he’s …
Atlas Isaac. Today, you turn one. To be honest, first birthdays are always a bit hard for me. There’s just something so special and so magical about the first year. Watching them learn and change so quickly, experiencing so many firsts together, it’s always been an emotional day for me. This one is no different. …
