Sigh… I am tired. Life is wearing on me. This beautiful ride of a life isn’t looking all that pretty. I’m fine, just feeling beat down. Several rough mornings in a row just starts an attitude that I have a hard time flipping.It should have been an awesome morning getting the girls off to school, …
There is a line in a song by Gary Allen with the line “life ain’t always beautiful, but it’s a beautiful ride”. And sure it may sound cliché, a little corny even, but are truer words ever spoken? I don’t know anyone with a perfect life. Sure I know some who have had it easier …
Things I have learned getting older while raising small children 1. Once you hit 30, you start loosing count… ie when I heard Brittany Spears was 30 now I said, “I didn’t realize we were the same age” we’re not. 2. Despite what you “thought” a 4 year age difference is not a big enough …
We went to Greer for the 4th of July weekend. We invited some good friends of ours and their kids and we had such a wonderful time! Greer did have some devastation, but it is far more green than not. I will upload to flickr, it is easier that way.My parents had bought the only …
Monday morning I woke up to Andi in our bed, I asked her “did you pee” “yup” she replied. Ugh knowing that I now had to wash her sheets, the same sheet I just had washed the day before because Elmer the Guinea Pig pooped on them. Then I hear Oli whining a groggy whine, …

Andrew has been out of town since Wednesday, I joked to him on the phone “you haven’t been gone this long since I kicked you out” I paused and he laughed. Sometimes my jokes are “too soon” but he laughed. It sucks when your hubby is gone, and you don’t want him to be. He’s …
I’ve written this thing over and over again. I can never get it right, I leave it hanging in the middle, never satisfied, never finished. Talking about something so personal is scary. Except for my belief in God, I rarely get much judgment on my parenting of Lily. But this is different. I think I’d …
I have no idea what my problem is lately. Getting online and updating is just not happening. I have written, yet not posted.On Thursday I took Lily and Oli to neuro to bump up her VNS setting. That went well, we were told who our new neuro is. I am happy with the change, we’ve …
I knew in April we’d have one good-bye to say in May. What I didn’t know is we’d have 4 good-byes in May.Yes I am still working on “The Story of Us” I’ve spent hours on it and still am not finished. Will share later.But back to May good-byes.Two caregivers whom we really loved left …
