I had an entire post that I wrote this morning, ready to publish. But, then, as it always does, life happened. Lately, it feels like things are constantly going wrong. I’m managing one crisis after the next, and I just don’t have the wherewithal to deal with it anymore. I’m tapped out in absolutely every …
Things have been weird lately. After spending 3 weeks in my own while my husband was away taking care of his dad, every day just started to look and feel the same. He’s been back for a week now. But even since he came back, weekends have given me a certain sense of anxiety and …
It’s been kind of the week from hell, and while I normally don’t love Fridays, I am SO glad that we’re finally here. The week started off with my oldest son getting an EEG. Then he had an appointment with the sleep medicine doctor, and he’ll be getting a sleep study soon. The next day, …

I think it’s fair to say that the hardest topic for me to write about it my kids and their struggles. All 3 of my kids struggle physically, a courtesy of the genetic disorder that the 4 of us share. But sometimes, my oldest son in particular, struggles with behavior as well. Now, this is …
“I’ll be home in a few days” “I’ll be home Wednesday, I promise” “I’m booking a flight today. I’ll be home on Friday. I’m serious, I’m holding my ground this time.” All of this has been said by my husband the past few days. and every single time, I responded with “sure. Okay”. Not once …
Whew. Life sure has been a whirlwind lately. I got home from my trip Saturday evening. By Monday, we got the news that my husbands dad, who has been battling cancer for a while, was not doing well. By Tuesday we were booking flights, and by Thursday, he left. My husband flew out yesterday to …
I’m leaving in….36 hours? I have not started packing. Nothing is gathered or together. Laundry isn’t done. Well, it’s washed, but not folded. Traveling isn’t difficult for me. Packing isn’t difficult. So….what’s the fucking problem? Why am I suddenly SO paralyzed with anxiety and depression that NOTHING can get done? Am I so much of …
It’s finally July, probably my favorite month of the year. Despite the fact that the heat this year is absolutely destroying my body…July feels festive. July is home to my birthday, on the 8th, and this year, that’s also the day the my vacation starts! I’m so excited to go away. My last trip to …
The last few days have been kind of a whirlwind, but it hasn’t been all awful. We let the older kids (6 and 4) sleep out for the first time ever last night. My husbands mom has been asking for a while, and I always say no. I didn’t want someone else watching them, I …
Well…shit. I’m not even sure if I have the words tonight. To put it simply….no, I guess I can’t even do that. It isn’t simple. Nothing is simple. If today has proved anything to me, it’s that quite literally, nothing is simple. My husband quit his job today. Everything feels up in the air and …
