Boxes & Soap

Whoever decided to re-merchandise the Pharmacy area at my grocery store should have probably been in line with me on Friday to see where they may have possibly gone astray. Waiting to pick up a prescription with too many other people in line, my boys goofing around next to me, I counted the minutes until my sitter arrived … Continue reading →

Game Face

Wouldn’t you know that these dudes would entertain, provide drama of all kinds and successfully distract their mom from anything related to her MRI and brain tumor. When you’re refereeing, busting up fights, laughing until your gut’s going to bust and focusing on avoiding injuries and the ER; there’s no time to think about MRI’s.      

Boo

Perfectly imperfect and perfectly beautiful. Happy Halloween!

The Coconut Milk Broke Me

Some moments are best had alone.  Tonight the coconut milk broke me. My day started at 5:45am and never stopped… There were the homemade pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon; making and packing lunches; trips to and from schools; three grocery store runs to three different stores (not worth explaining); laundry x a million that I swear produces like … Continue reading →

My Stress Therapy Weekend

  I made my escape on a jet plane to New York City before the sun even considered waking up Friday morning. Needless to say, I’ve never been so happy to be showered and on my way at 5:00AM. I walked and wandered, ate, drank, laughed and slept.  And then repeated it all day after day. The best part was that … Continue reading →

Good Times Were Had By All…

Guess who made an appearance for the long weekend?        Yipee!!!!      The kiddos are tucked into bed (finally) and I’m cleaning up and settling back into my single momma routine after a jam-packed weekend of adventures.   I’m desperately trying to keep the weekend fun in the forefront of my mind, but the dread of re-entry and the daily grind that begins at 6AM sharp tomorrow morning is creeping in. Ugh!   Our … Continue reading →

Laughter As Medicine

  My approach to coexisting with my piece of shit brain tumor has always been to endure with a solid sense of humor and I believe I’ve been successful thus far. I can’t fix this, so why not lighten up and spend more time laughing. It’s more fun than a pity party. So, I’ve got  a collection of T-shirts that I … Continue reading →

He’s All Mine

Don’t be jealous.   Tomorrow I’ll send him off to Kindergarten. I think I’m ready… I just hope they’re ready to receive him.

730

730 days ago tomorrow, everything changed. I signed on the dotted line. Page after page of dotted lines I signed. Thinking all the while that I must have already lost my damn mind. It had to be good and gone if I was willing to give someone the opportunity and privilege to remove a piece … Continue reading →

Lawn Art

Having absolutely nothing to do with a brain tumor, this post is a glimpse into what has become of my evenings after said brain tumor and husband working and living out-of-state for the past three months.  Meet my new late night visitors and friends…   I know these fellows. They have no names, but we’ve become pals. The funny thing … Continue reading →

Worth The Wait

A house full of old friends, college friends made new again, local friends, food, drinks (lots of drinks) and plenty of laughter made for an unbelievable weekend. Having clocked in a pathetic 13 hours of sleep between Thursday night to Sunday morning, it was a fair trade-off for the most fun I’ve had in as long as I can … Continue reading →
