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 »

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 »
Do These Camos Make My Butt Look Old?
This past weekend, my hubs turned 40. A number, a milestone that doesn’t match the place he predicted he would be at this time. But our life has taken a definite unforeseeable turn. Moving on…. I’m not far behind him. 38 now…his thoughts may very well be my thoughts…in my time….and I’m wearing camos. You… Read more »
Can You Come Up With A Focused List For Yourself?
As many of us do, I’m constantly making lists, re-organizing, re-vamping, re-prioritizing. Lists for groceries, general to do, household chores, schedules, lists for each child, for myself, for others, how I want to balance my life. It seems I make lists for most everything. Some list items get done, others get permanently pushed to the… Read more »
He Knows Sleep Is For The Weak
Sleep is for the Weak. Yes. Someone at BlogHer knew what they were saying when they developed that title for a book…a good book which I am NOT reviewing here…at least right now. For 6 years, we didn’t sleep. I mean…Didn’t. Sleep. That’s part of the unofficial, official symptoms of Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (epilepsy). For us,… Read more »
EEG at Children’s EMU #2
EEGs are a part of our lives now. Every 6 months is the general protocol for kids diagnosed with Landau-Kleffner Syndrome (LKS) and Continuous Spike and Wave during slow Sleep (CSWS). Every 6 months because for reasons unknown to me, whether hormones, growth, the body’s ability to metabolize certain medicines, LKS/CSWS (looked at as virtually… Read more »
S’Mores
How wonderful it would be if my bloated pooch arrived because I was pregnant, not because I ate too many s’mores…then I’d have an excuse. (My kids scream by) Or maybe I should just stop eating s’mores. (Photo By: Kasia / Flickr) Read more »
Where’s the water?
When I was pregnant with the Fairy Princess in 2006, things had changed. Problems in previous pregnancies were diagnosed, leading to a completely different kind of pregnancy. But we were excited to have her and honestly, I love(d) being pregnant. Towards the end of my pregnancy, Miss Princess became very thirsty. Very, very, very thirsty…. Read more »
Is The Gap helping women with their self-image?
1 pound at a time is a good thing. Simple, clear, concise, and without pressure. One step at a time, don’t get ahead of yourself, don’t look at the big picture, just move in the direction of your goals. Change your eating habits – that donut certainly will do no good, unless you’re looking at… Read more »
Feeling good in my skin ~ 1 lb. at a time
When the dawn broke in my mind and soul, and I recognized the need for balance within my life and my sense of self, I also recognized that the balance would be difficult if I weren’t comfortable within my own skin. In 2 months I lost 10 pounds. I worked hard. Watched what I ate…. Read more »
