Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects
The Mr. and I went out to dinner tonight for date night, while the little mr. was at a sleepover. Arriving to the restaurant first, I decided I’d earned a cocktail after the craptastic day I’d had. I perused the drink menu, ultimately deciding on a Mai Tai, to make me feel closer to Hawaii. Because […]
It was a beautiful evening. Sun shining, warmth on your shoulders, the first temps in the high 70’s we’ve seen this Spring. You could sense the delight and happiness of others as you saw people driving with their windows down, families out for walks, children playing in backyards. We sat in the car, in the parking […]
It’s hard to know where to start sometimes, when I write. There’s so much to say, but so little energy to say it these days. All of it seems so overwhelming. Stringing words together in meaningful sentences to share my story in such a way you might feel you are walking along side me on […]
The Island of Nunya. What? Read on…it will all make sense. Today is a big day. Today is a test. Because today is my son’s first day back in his school after five weeks. Baby steps today. He’s only there for half the day. But he’s there. And it scares me. Being in treatment […]

It’s 4am. Before the horizon fills with light, and I am filled with dread. A thousand little bits of worry and fear. Do you have a child? Look at them. Look in their eyes. What do you see? Light? Hope? Brightness? Wonder, excitement? Peace…God, the Peace. I never noticed the Peace before. And now I miss […]
Yesterday, I met a girl. A Beautiful Girl. I don’t even know her name. But she changed my life. In five minutes, she changed my life. And she doesn’t even know it. The most extraordinary things happen in this waiting room. The waiting room where my son goes for therapy. I used to dread coming […]
