Today is the first day since mid December that things have calmed down enough to resume what seems to be our normal schedule and routine. The kids are back in school for real now with no threats of snow days, my husband is back to working his normal hours and the kids therapy schedule has […]
Dear universe, and the people who live in it… Where are you? When I need you, too…where do you go? I know where I am when you need me…and it’s right there. I’m right there. If you need me, I’m here. When you need a shoulder, when you need advice…when you need support…I’m there. I’m
Well here we sit on this lovely-ish Thursday morning in Texas just waiting for the snow to fall. It’s unclear just how much snow vs. ice vs. rain/sleet we’ll actually get…all we know is there is a LOT of precipitation heading for us and the temps are right at 33° right now, and supposed to

After months of the most fucked up transition period imaginable. And it’s terrifying. To learn to trust, to try

We’re officially in the thick of Thanksgiving break with all the kids home from school. My week has been surprisingly loaded up with appointments, so it’s not like we’ve been stuck with nothing to do. For the first time in…well, since we moved to Texas like 10 years ago, Thanksgiving will look just a bit

Yesterday started with the most abrupt of wake up calls at 5am when a nurse turned on the bright lights while my son and I were dead asleep. My two older sons had a sleep study in Dallas on Tuesday night, 2 hours away from our house. We left at 4pm to get there by
