Update on Caleb & new news
Caleb is totally 100% ok. His head is healing nicely! I’m terrified of him falling again and tearing it open again tho!
Ok, so new news… My oldest son came to me last week and showed me this huge lump on his side in the front just under his rib cage. Of course I acted all cool and said, yeah we should have that looked at, but inside I was FREAKING out!!! So yesterday we went to the...
Sex offenders on CNN
I was watching CNN and they did a short piece on sex offenders living on the streets. People are going to FREAK OUT about this, I assure you. BUT…here’s the OTHER side of the story.
No, I am NOT a sex offender. But someone close to me is. And by no means am I defending his actions or anything remotely close to that (as I am the one who put him in jail, so dont preach to me about...
I have 4 kids. I’ve been a mom for over 13 years. And before that I pretty much raised my brother (he’s 17 now). So I’ve put some time in. You can say I’m a pro at the whole ‘mom’ thing, right?
It never fails to make me a nervous wreck when one of my kids gets hurt. My youngest child, Caleb…he’s 4…had cerebral palsy. He’s not severe, as...
I loved staying the night at my grandma and grandpa’s house (grammy and paw paw). My cousins were there, and if aunt Arlene was there we got the best thing EVER for breakfast…SCHMORN! (sh-morn). I guess it’s an austrian/german dish almost like crepe’s but nothing was in it. Just a thin sweet pancake type thing. It was SO good! My great g-parents on paw paw’s side came...
SO I’m a stay at home mom. Which I love of course. I feel I’m lucky that I have the choice to do that because so many don’t. But that said, when you’re a SAHM (stay at home mom), certain things are usually sacrificed. When there’s only one income, mom’s are the ones that get looked over with things like nice clothes and stuff like that. All the...
I was thinking of my Paw Paw today and how he used to tell this story about how he got into the army. He was selected for the Navy, but he wanted to be in the army. SO when he was checking in or whatever, he said look, I want to be int eh forces, I just dont want to be a seaman. The guy looked at him with shock and said well then, what DO you want to do may I ask? He said I would prefer to be int...

I remember as a kid when ‘Dirty Dancing’ came to theaters. I was…11 or 12? I dont remember how old I was, but it was the first time I ever went to the movies with just my friends! We lived only a few blocks away, so we were allowed to walk and buy our own tickets! I remember feeling like such a grown up. LOL
Baby was me hero...
I remember as a child, listening to my dad play his guitar. He told me that he taught himself how to play by listening and figuring it out himself. I was astonished. I wish I had that talent. He told me about how he bought his guitar (some really good brand) at a pawn shop in the 70’s for like $30, which was expensive I guess. But it’s what he wanted for his birthday and they saved up...
So, it’s 7:30 in the morning, and my kids just went out to wait for the bus. Every morning it’s the same thing; showers, dressed, teeth, and hair. Then, as they head out the door, I hear three voices: “Bye, mom, love you. Have a great day.” *smiles* It doesnt get better than that…it just doesnt :)
My cup runeth over!
The clouds surround me, no where to break free.
The sun, trying to shine through their overpowering gloominess.
The darkness may be closing in, but I feel the sun inside
I will not let the light die, no matter how hard they try.
I close my eyes. The music fills my soul. The angel, singing
His heart filled with melodies. The lyrics deep in his soul
The sunshine WILL conquer, even through the...
Rememberance
Today marks a day of saddness for the nation. Everyone who has a heart feels the pain of those lost 8 years ago today. But for me, it’s different.
Tomorrow will mark the 8 year anniversary of a devastating loss for me. On september 12th, 2000, I lost a 14.5 week pregnancy. There was no warning, no red flags, and it was a healthy pregnancy.
I have a history of miscarriages, but never...
I found my joy again today :) It was a beautiful moment :)

So… I found a person that share the same (somewhat) debilitating disorders I do. Its nice to talk with someone who knows what its like to not be able to control your movements (or in her case, words) or thoughts abotu things or worries…we both share tourettes, OCD, and anxiety disorders. For the most part I am judged by others silently as they wonder what my problem is. “Why does...
