Love the Gulf
I love the Gulf because this is the place where we go to the beach. My children have grown up going to Fort DeSoto and Fred Howard Park. My earliest beach memories were in Far Rockaway, NY. It was dark, cold water. Forbidding, dangerous jetties stuck out into the water and I was continually warned [...]

The Moment I Had Been Waiting For…
and I was zoned out from Benadryl. I don’t like to take the stuff during the day but we were out of Zyrtec and the ragweed’s been elevated around here. One of my big frustrations with Nicolas has been with his lack of play skills. He just never played appropriately with toys. I believe much [...]

A surgery postponed from last week was done yesterday. It reminds me vaguely of a c-section but I am recovering quickly. I stumbled in yesterday, nauseous [...]
Regular Moms vs. Special Needs Moms
I have nothing to write about today and so I’m sharing this article about Regular vs. Special Needs Moms. “Moms, a stranger walks among you. We look like regular moms, but we are the hybrid to your standard engine. Our child’s disability altered us, enhanced us. Many words describe us: resilient, creative, protective, emboldened, sympathetic, [...]
Spiritual Sunday
Crikes, it’s been close to five months since I’ve done anything with this blog. I’ve wondered if I should just let the domain expire but since I have put a fair amount of work into it, I’m going to start anew with a biweekly (or even daily!) blogging habit. Writing is so therapeutic for me. [...]
