Busy, busy. Right back into the swing of things. DH and his PT had long talks about what he wants to accomplish next. I heard him say he'd like to be able to drive again so I can be "free" for a while. Now if only I could get him to feel the s... Read more

Sleeping for 7 hours straight on an incline of pillows. A 3 year old GS who wears superhero capes and not much else. Feeling just crummy enough to turn down snacks. A 6 year old GS who proclaims he is an expert at chess. Ha... Read more
The happy, long anticipated family Christmas gathering
Saturday, December 10, 2016      13 comments

We are 34 strong now. A few were missing due to work schedules or illness. I managed to sit it out and have totally lost my voice. This also meant I could leave early and not have to clean up! A good ploy for not eating things while cleaning. No... Read more

I've read my SP friends blogs this morning and have found a whole heck of a lot of inspiration, comfort and common sense. I AM beautiful. PJDANIELS reminded me to take time to see ME. I also have simply slapped myself together, day after... Read more
