Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
Oh, you came. I’m so glad. Wasn’t sure if anyone would actually show up. Sure, I’ll help you load them up in a sec. I’m just getting our new “area” situated out here. What’s that? Oh, no, we’re not moving, I’ve just had enough. These matters will now be handled outside. Yeah, I guess it […]
I was almost to the bottom of the pile. Stacks of clothes begging to be sorted by size and season and gender, all discarded into a heaping mountain in the corner of the closet. A nagging mess that I would get to one of these days. In an attempt to feign organization, I dove in. […]
You know you’re the mom to more than one young child when: 1. You have memorized the location of every drive-thru Starbucks within a 60 mile radius (or drive-thru anything for that matter, getting in and out of the car more than once per outing is not an option). 2. You never park next to […]

My daughter’s pajamas are too small. So are my son’s. Oh, and the babies are getting snug too. Pajamas these days are not too expensive and I even have boxes full of hand-me-downs waiting for my youngest, but for some reason, going up a size tugs at my heart. I put off the transition as […]
I better start this one by saying that, yep, all this stuff happened. My two and a half feet of wisdom could not make this mountain of disaster up…Mommy and her long list took us to the grocery store and once we went through those magic doors that open when my little self enters, Mommy’s […]
If you ever cannot sleep at night and are thinking about saying “give me one of those” when your husband is dosing himself some Ny.quil. Don’t do it. Just don’t. Two parents in a cold medicine induced haze when the kids wake up many hours before it should actually be morning may lead to a […]
When your kids are being quiet and you are thinking to yourself… Oh they are so good, it is so nice they are finally old enough to entertain themselves and then you ask, “What are you guys doing up there??” and they sweetly reply “Nothing Mommy” THIS is NOTHING… Yes I drew on the clothes, […]
