I failed at the thankfulness countdown. More trauma. The babe might be moved soon. Too soon. We are appealing the decision, but I have no confidence. Jeremiah’s situation is so up in the air.

I met my friend Lindsay at the Parenting in SPACE conference back in April, ya’ know, right before everything EXPLODED. We immediately clicked.

I still want a baby, I still don’t have one, and I’ve said all I know to say about that. Jeremiah still struggles, but is getting stronger every day.

We made it!  All those nights of crying over you, praying over you, and convincing you and ourselves that we would not give up have paid off. We made it! I am thankful to say that every day gets better. Who knew that when I was only 8 years [...]

My sister had been using it for her TV, but she wasn’t too sad to part with it. My hubby hooked him up with a laptop that he bought from his company [...]

For now. I’m sad. I will miss my 4, 5, and 6 year-olds. A. Lot. But I know it’s what is necessary. It comes not out of the want to stop teaching, but the need to better meet Jeremiah’s needs. The school he is attending, [...]

We are leaving tomorrow for 2 weeks house-sitting for my daddy. Hubby is not able to come with. Both boys have been very Hubby-needy lately regardless of the trip.
