The Danger Spiral

An ongoing topic in our home is Mr. C’s current poor gut health. There are a lot of things that can possibly be at the root of everything. Recently something new popped up on my radar. Pediatric Abdominal Epilepsy. This is a fairly new topic, even in the medical community. My mother-in-law has told stories

Sum up

I cannot believe it has been almost a year since I last posted something. I would love to say that everything is great, and that we took time off to enjoy life but, sadly, we have had a lot going on over the past year. A little over a year ago, we helped move my

The Monster

A monster is coming for you and you need to get away fast. The monster roars. Looking behind to judge the distance, you trip and fall down a hole. It feels like you fall forever then, suddenly, you smash down onto the bottom of this immense, dark pit. You look around, trying to see through

This Is Not the Answer You’re Looking For

Back in October, our Mr. C was hospitalized for a bowel clean out. He has chronic issues in this department, and this is not our first time in the hospital for it. You can read my post about the last time here. When the hospital took an x-ray to determine the scope of the blockage,

I Love Change but I Don’t

Okay, now on to the other big thing going on in our house. We are going to remodel! We love our place, but it is just too small. Officially, we live in a one bedroom, one bath apartment over our garage. We fell into the “build the guest space/in-law suite and live there while we

Eye of the Tiger

Last month there was a day called: International Women’s Day. Unsure of what that even means? Don’t worry. I put trusty ol’ Wikipedia to the test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women’s_Day). Here’s what it has to say: International Women’s Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus

One Day at a Time

Today is the day. The day my thoughts were freed. I’ve had so many things to say, stories to tell and yet, every time I sat down, I couldn’t put the thoughts to words. Today, they seem to be bursting forth. Today I accomplished a new project, start to finish, in about an hour or

I Hate…

Today is just one of those days that’d all parents have. A bad day. Things that always happen are happening but with more vigor. It’s driving me nuts! The boys are fighting. It’s raining and dark. The house is such a mess; I can’t keep up. I’m sick, which makes me tired and, to top

Why Won’t He Sleep?!?!

The past few days have been “interesting” around here. Evenings have become dreaded again, and the boys seem to be fighting more than normal. I’m not really sure what has changed. I thought maybe it was due to the full moon, but the full moon has come and gone and we’re still having issues. It

Quirky kids and Bullies

I need to take a moment to talk about something that all school kids deal with. Bullies. I was a fortunate nobody when I was in school. I had friends but, I wasn’t very “popular.” I was known enough to not be “one of those kids” … You know, the ones that are labeled as
