Today, I go to the doctor. I’m hoping to start my own mini journey to end my struggles. You see, I can’t stop crying. Or seething with frustration. Or being confused, forgetful, easily distracted….regretful. Remorseful. Panicking. Crying some more. I made the appointment last week after I started my cycle for the 2nd time in… Read more »

It’s Time I Take Control…And Lead My Husband
The weirdest thing. I blacked out, only I know I didn’t black out….yet I can’t exactly recall. In the end, I found, it was autopilot. I was running our family, our hectic evenings full of wound up little beings and a fairly sick Princess all while being one worn out Mama, and Daddy out earning… Read more »
That “Stuff” That’s Taken My Son….
“Holy cow! Seriously?! I have a friend who got her son tested for that kind of stuff and yeah, he was full of that stuff. She tried him on Gluten-Free stuff too. I think it helped. What’s your plan of action?” I realize I’m not quite in the right space for this and it’s certainly… Read more »

A 38 Year Old Needs To Grow Up!
A few short weeks ago, maybe a little more, I turned 38. No monumental achievement or rather, no typically celebrated number. But here I am now, 38, with a newfound prospective on my life. Nothing drastic or earth shattering. You won’t come away with any renewal of inspiration, the meaning of life, affirmation of being… Read more »
How Have You Changed How You Handle Stress?
Right now, I am. Apparently. A stress case. It takes some fairly honest reflection to say this to you. For instance, you can say you’re stressed. You can relay it as an excuse in a quick flip of the tongue, why you were snappy, are eating gourds of food, or eating nothing at all. You… Read more »
Can A Blogger Find Balance By Closing Comments?
Finding Balance, you should know, does not mean I have found balance. Quite the opposite. I am no more balanced in my life, my direction or my cause for the time that I enjoy on this earth than I was say 7 years, 17 years or more, much less 7 minutes ago. The number of… Read more »
Do Parents of Special Needs Kids Invoke Self-Isolation?
I was interviewed a while back by a woman who was working on a website. She was commissioned to interview families and write synopsis’ of their stories; synopsis’ of how families got to where they are, the friendships and family members lost or found, isolation. In the end, she went back to the ones who… Read more »
Our Judgment…We Don’t Usually Have Good Luck
Judgment can cloud, or enlighten; judgement from experience, from the gut. Good judgement, not the judgement of others. Judgement of our situations. So long ago, while we were investigating J.Browne’s sleep disturbances, one of the many things we were told was, “consult Dr. Ferber’s book”. Use what he says to help J.Browne get to sleep… Read more »
Why FaceBook Is Not For Me
I said somewhere in this writing, possibly up there in the “About” area or maybe it was in the “Mia’s Bio” section…that I would express my feelings on FaceBook. This is it. The internet can suck you in, we all know this. Each of us could go from blog to site to FaceBook, to YouTube… Read more »
