Stop it!

Again with a clichéd befuddlement about where the time goes, I’m sitting here wondering what happened to the bulk of the last decade. Iain is nine today and it’s as if I’ve been in a haze the whole time. Nine. We’ve been through so much over his lifetime and I’m so proud of him for [...]

Kind of a busy week

This week has been a busy one. Jeff’s hours have picked up so it’s been all me all the time. I’m not complaining in the least, though. Extra hours mean extra money in the bank to offset the weeks when OT is scarce.
Wednesday Izzie’s class had an adorable Mother’s Day party for the moms. Nothing [...]

Madame Buttoner

Our first day [...]

She’ll be your girl for all seasons

Yesterday was something. It’s a few days past the first day of Spring and what happened? We got about 7″ of snow. Gotta love a white Easter! I’m pretty sure it’s not the first time this has happened in Michigan and Easter is early this year so I’m not surprised, actually. Weather can be dicey [...]

The little things

When you have a school-aged child who has social challenges like autism, you worry that they are going to become that sore thumb in class that everyone notices as really different. You don’t get to see them during the school day so you worry if kids are teasing more than they might normally (unfortunately we [...]

Yeah, yeah

Did you think you lost me? I didn’t end up blogging yesterday because I plain didn’t feel like it. I was locked out of the house for most of the day so by the time I got back in I wasn’t really in the mood to reflect or shit like that. By the time I [...]

Another nothing kinda ordinary day

I suspect you can tell by the title that it was a pretty average day today. Well, outside of the fact that Iz spent much of it sleeping. She’s fighting a cold and by the time we got back from dropping the kids off at school this morning, she was already at her wit’s end. [...]
