Tonight I was going to write about the fun. The fun that we’ve had while on vacation. The bend over sideways laugh attacks and silly things we did while here. But then something happened tonight, after the fun was over and the evening winding down, that shook me to the core. I was flitting about […]
I Just Wanna Be Normal
Vacation. It’s where we all go to escape our reality a bit…or a lot, right? We needed this escape. Big time. The last three weeks have been some of the toughest we’ve had. At least from my point of view. I can’t pretend to know if they’ve been the hardest for Noah, but his torment […]
When he is Sleeping
Several people have commented or asked why I take so many pictures of Noah sleeping. Excellent question. Every night, I tuck Noah into bed…pulling the covers up under his chin, pushing the hair off his forehead with my fingers, just enough to unveil the perfect spot for my kiss. We pray, I tell him I […]
Modern Mom
Enough of the sad posts for a few days, huh? The reality is, we have good days and bad days around here. Hell, sometimes it’s actually broken down into good moments and bad moments. Just depends. In any case, I hold on to each of them and try to do what I can to squeeze […]
But He Looks So Happy…
“He’s always smiling…” “But he’s been doing so good….” “He’s just being dramatic… “Oh, he’ll snap out of it…” “He’s just having a bad day…we all have them.” “But he looks so happy…” Yes. He looks so happy. Does this look like the face of depression? Like the face […]
Filled with Hope
I could feel it the moment I walked into the room to pick him up at school. Sitting on the floor, his back to me. The hood of his sweatshirt pulled over his head. Draping his face, hiding the pain he is feeling. I’m getting better at this now. Detecting when there may be a […]
Love & Gratitude (#1)
I made it! 40 days, 40 posts, until I turn 40! And I’m 40! What an over the top, wonderful, happy day. And I owe all of that to all of you. It was a day filled will love and blessings – every direction I turned. I ate, I shopped. I ate some more. I […]
Take the Time (#2)
It’s hard to believe that 38 posts and 38 days ago, I created this stretch goal for myself to take time every night to do what I love to do. Write. I knew the goal would be challenging. I knew it would be a stretch. That was the intention. To force myself to take time […]
If I Was a Girl… (#3)
The boy is on a roll. A couple of days ago, he inspired me to write a post about taking a leap of faith. Yesterday, he reminded me of the importance of seeking to understand and not passing judgment. Today? Well, let’s just say, the lesson today didn’t quite have the same depth to it. […]
The Toad (#4)
Yesterday, it was a leap of faith. Today? A toad. Yes, a toad. As I’ve stated before, Noah often inspires me. And, if I’m paying attention – he teaches me too. There is much we can learn from our children. Now…back to this toad. This afternoon, I arrive at Noah’s school to pick him up […]
