Because if so, sign me up. I need someone to tell me exactly where to go, how to get there, and how to avoid pulling my hair out on the way there. (And if the narrating voice could be David Tennant, that'd be grrrreat.) I've been going through old posts over the last...
2016, you've been...like an ex-boyfriend that has taught me much about myself but someone I don't ever want to revisit. But like any relationship, it did have some lessons. Since I've been terrible about journaling or keeping any sort of record, here's what I can...
"Now I'll get to the part that you're really wanting to know, which is, yes, Grayson is on the Autism Spectrum, grouped under the high-functioning area of autism, but he is considered to be on the spectrum." Grayson is on the Autism Spectrum. I think I said that...
There's something about the arrival of summer that makes me miss my grandfather, or Grandaddy, as he was affectionately known, like the dickens. Maybe it's the arrival of fresh tomatoes and green beans in the grocery store or the smell that the grass emits when it's...
One year ago I wasn't in a very good place. I was struggling mentally, physically and emotionally. My body was readjusting to my new normal after giving up breastfeeding Alex, and I spent the first couple months of 2015 in a dark place that I wasn't sure I'd ever get...

In light of my upcoming 31st birthday, I've been thinking a lot about people and how we become the way we are. Some people know they're born for certain things and/or are certain about who they are early. I am not one of those people. Sure, I've always had quirky...
This isn't any old house. This is the house of my childhood. The only constant that I've ever known in my almost-31 years. I've lived in a handful of houses over the years and haven't missed a single one. Even getting there was an adventure. At that time, highway 77...
When you feel you are wronged, how long is an appropriate time to grieve/stay angry? I have a tendency to stay angry long and hard, and hold grudges. (Hey, it's one of my less-attractive qualities.) But the silver lining, I believe, about that trait is that it...
Oscar and I have almost made it through one month with two kidlets (Alex will officially be a month old on Friday). The weird thing is that two children is not necessarily harder all the time. It's harder at times, but not exponentially harder. I remember reading this...
