Life As I Know It

On Sunday we headed out to Disneyland with the boys. I have to say that it went so much better than I anticipated. We met several charact...

Today was one really long day at Shriner's. In fact, we were gone from the house a total of twelve hours. We are all wiped. I feel like ...

The idea of a chair has been floating around in the background for some time now, but I've always resisted taking that step. It isn'...

Still wrapping my mind around this. Man, it's hard.

It started off innocently enough. We had just started out on a thirty minute drive on our way to the boys' swimming therapy. "Mom...

We are back from our trip to San Diego (or "Santiago" as my boys insist on calling it) today. We had so much fun. The boys lo...

My boys have been in therapy for five years now. Do I think it has been worth our energy and time? In some ways. Maybe? Do I think that the ...

I decided that I wanted to get my hair dyed. I went from my natural dirty blond color to a medium brown which is the same shade as Sh.awn...

I still have been able to reach the boys' case manager to ask wtf is going on with this notice. It is beyond annoying that I've c...

Be warned. This is another curse filled vent. Today I got a notice in the mail saying that C..C..S has now denied the boys services (read ...

This first picture is of Sh.awn using his walker during physical therapy. The highlight of his therapy sessions is to go into the stinky bat...

Have decided the OTs can officially go fly a kite. I have issues with the goals they wrote. It is stupid to me to have something as a goal f...

An unfortunate side effect of these stupid letters is the strain it puts on our relationship. True to form, we have been bickering non stop ...

Every 6 months or so, I get another reminder--as if daily living isn't enough of one. Your children are delayed. Your children are n...
