I’ve never been happier to see a Monday than I am today. For some reason, it’s just felt like Monday couldn’t come fast enough this week. Monday night is my therapy night, and sometimes it just really feels like that’s all I have. Like it’s the only thing that gets me through the week. I’ve …
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 …
Monday is here as scheduled, and once again, it promises to be a long one. Early this morning, Atlas has his first appointment with a new kind of therapy. It’s called Vital Stim, and basically, it’s where they put electrodes on his neck to assist him with swallowing, and to hopefully help him strengthen those …
When the very first thing out of your mouth as soon as your eyes pop open at 6am is “what’s that smell”…you just know that you’re about to have a bad day. A very bad day. Turns out, “that smell” was nail polish. A lot of it. My 2 older kids, who very unfortunately share …

Have you ever woke up at 6am and promptly had a panic attack? No? Well, neither have I…until this morning. As soon as I woke up this morning, I felt absolutely crushed and overwhelmed with anxiety. The thought of having to do this all over again…the routine, therapies, appointments, stuck with my kids who really …
Whew. Here’s the update post we’ve all been waiting for! My husband is officially home. He flew back in late Saturday night, and yesterday was the first day he was really home. We didn’t tell the kids he was coming back (because I didn’t even believe it myself), so they were really surprised and happy …
The best part about Mondays is that I have therapy (nearly) every Monday night. It truly makes Mondays tolerable. it’s the only thing that makes it tolerable. I had a great 6 hours over the weekend. The baby took a 3 hour nap on Saturday AND Sunday. And my husband took the kids out during …
Today isn’t off to the best start. When your day starts off at 3am, it can be hard to start the day off right. A combination of all 3 kids had me getting literally no sleep at all after 3:30am this morning, so I’m definitely feeling it this morning. It’s a busy day with a …
I don’t want the weekend to end, I don’t want my role as the (only) caretaker, as shit taker, as nurse, as mom, as therapist…to begin again. On the weekends, I can stop. If even just for a few hours…my husband willingly takes them for just a little while. On a run in the stroller, …
Today is a Monday, and it feels like a Monday. The lather – rinse – repeat of the week set to start all over again. I need a change, but I don’t know what that change is. Most days I wake up full of dread instead of hope. I know what my days hold for …
