For Kelly

[This was written about, oh, two weeks ago? I started writing it and then fell dead asleep in the chair. -A]
It has been what, a million years since I’ve posted? Yes, yes. It’s been a million years and there’s so much to catch up on. In fact, now that I’ve checked, I see that it’s [...]

This gets old

Today is another one of those days where I’ve spent much of it having a mini-panic attack. I don’t know if there’s actually a diagnostic term for something like that but that’s as best as I can describe it. Either way, it has paralyzed me for most of the morning and it’s getting old. Really [...]

I hate this feeling

Today is one of those days where I alternately feel like crying just a tiny bit or uncomfortable anxiousness. This morning I was feeling mushy and now, probably partially due to the coffee I’ve consumed, I feel incredibly anxious.
There are times when I start to feel so unorganized, both in the environmental and cognitive sense, [...]

Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Yes, I’m going to be cliche and exclaim, “Where the fuck did the last seven years go?!” We could also ask about the last nine (Iain’s age in a little over a week) or 15 (yes, 15 years married). But yeah, where is it, y’all?

Kind of a busy week

Wednesday Izzie’s class had an adorable Mother’s Day party for the moms. Nothing [...]

Borrowing from Colbert

In my quest to be entirely unoriginal, I thought I’d steal the concept of “On Notice” and “Dead to Me” ala Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report. From time to time I roll my eyes or get truly irritated and fed up with things. (Okay, who are we kidding? I do this the bulk of [...]

Things I’m thinking about

My mind, not surprisingly, is rather full of squirly energy lately and there’s so much swimming around in there I thought I’d share with y’all (like that bit of Southern flavor?). What do you say? Are you up to it? Aww, come on; don’t be a chicken.
The house I was hoping wouldn’t rent before we [...]

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 [...]

What a day

What a shit day today was. My morning seemed to set the stage for what ended up being a lousy day. Iain also had his appointment today and Jeff ended up going with him.
More tomorrow.
