Benjamisms
Here are two gems for you. I wish I could remember more. I love the words that come out of my three-year-old's mouth. ---------------------------------- Levi thought Benjamin had a fruit snack in his hand and tried to open it. To which Benjamin responded: "I don't...
Normalcy Protects Me; Routine Keeps Me Safe
Now that we're back in Indiana, August 22 through November 22 seems less than a bad dream. Her sickness, her fading, her last day, her visitation, her funeral, her name on that crypt. Was that real? Was that her? Will she really not be there the next time we...
Avoiding It
I've been avoiding the blog. You know I'm not afraid to dig deep. And this is where I do that. But I don't want to dig yet. I know I need to. Part of me does want to. But I can't; not while surrounded by a swarm of children. When I start this, it needs to...
A Sense of Humor is a Must with IT Calls.
I worked my way through the automated menu, but nothing matched my needs of a missing power cord for our modem. After pressing 0 repeatedly, (when the given options were 3 or 4), I finally got a human. I told her my life story, working in the fact I am missing a...
As Perfect As Our Life Gets
This is the stuff Christmas movies are made of. We woke up to 2/3 of our children cuddling us in bed. The third joined eventually (she's a late sleeper). Looking out the window, we were excited to see a winter wonderland awaiting. We made our way to the kitchen and...
Is it Bedtime Yet? UPDATED

She’s Gone
My mom went home to Jesus last Sunday. November 14, 2010, 11:00pm. I wish I could say she went peacefully. But she was such a fighter. The last several hours were filled with seizures and stress and anguish. We begged her to just let go. When she finally found her...
What I Learned On My Marathon – Vlog!
I got bored on the drive home today. So I decided to have a little chat with you guys. Enjoy!
The Best Day
I don't remember the last thing I told you. Did I tell you her anti-anxiety meds make her less than coherent? You could tell the thoughts were there, but they couldn't make the connections in her brain to become the right words. For example, she'd be thirsty and...
Taking the Easy Road
I know I haven't posted anything in awhile. See, at the end of the day, I can either delve into my situation and dissect my feelings and work everything out... Or I can turn hulu on and let someone else's issues unravel before me and then be neatly packaged back up,...
