Well, we’re all finally home. No hospitals, no doctors, no school (because it’s the weekend), and to top it all off – we celebrated Easter! Usually, we don’t celebrate Easter on the traditional Easter date, but we celebrate Greek, or Orthodox, Easter. It’s usually on a different week, either before or after “regular” Easter (it […]

Things have gone from bad to worse, and I’m absolutely exhausted. Yesterday was a day that must’ve come straight from the brains of hell, delivered just for me. On Monday night (but really Tuesday morning), Phoenix, my 6 year old, who has been struggling with an ongoing GI issue, decided to throw up a ton
Yes, it did get worse. Read More »
When it rains it pours here. And oh, is that exactly what it’s doing. My post on Thursday detailed my own semi medical emergency that I was going through, and just as I had FINALLY agreed to go to the ER to be seen on Friday…guess what happens? I get a call from my son’s

Why not add a little more madness into the mix? Today is the first day of spring break, which will last all the way until next Tuesday. A lovely 11 days straight with all the kids. Now, I love my kids. But does that mean I want to be home with all 3 boys for

This week has been a massive variation of highs and lows, and I can honestly say I’m just so glad that it’s finally Saturday. And that I can’t wait for therapy on Tuesday. Overall, I’m feeling pretty okay this morning. I have the entire house to myself for a least a good few hours, and

The big kids are home from school today. That means I’ve got all 3 tiny monsters home all day while my husband is at work. Lucky him. It’s already been a morning, but we made it to nap time. That gives me 2-3 hours of one less tiny monster if I’m lucky. Phew. It’s just

Well, we’ve arrived at the moment I’ve been dreading for the past 8 days…another one is down with the flu. Despite my best efforts to keep my 2 year old, and my most medically fragile kid away from his flu positive brother…I was apparently unsuccessful. He started sounding pretty bad yesterday and the cold he

If there’s one thing I’m sure of in life, it’s that our life in particular will just never be boring. It’s always going to be something, and all we can do is buckle up and prepare for whatever comes next. This week starts off with a Monday, much like all the other ones do. But

This morning started off bright and early at 5am with an out of nowhere panic attack. Love that for me. Funny how these keep happening on Fridays. Every other Friday is pay day. Which normally is great. Except now these paychecks are spent before they even hit. And we’re in this cycle of things just
5am panic attacks, and finding ways to be grateful. Read More »
The past few days have been…a lot. Tuesday night I had therapy, which went well. It does kind of feel like it’s maybe a safe place where I can say or think or feel what I want or need to and not have to worry quite so much about being judged or looked down upon
