Not going to do it. Why? Oh, because 2011 SUCKED! Right up to the end. And I wouldn’t be able to share very much about why it sucked, so it’s just not worth it. 2012 has started out with slightly less trauma, because we only had [...]

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. Where will he be? Who can help him? What role are we supposed to play? How much can [...]

I met my friend Lindsay at the Parenting in SPACE conference back in April, ya’ know, right before everything EXPLODED. We immediately clicked. I think our first conversation was about how our trauma kids smell….like, bad. We are both drama geeks, and we both love to laugh, even when it’s [...]

Now I’ve been told that this may be a false memory due to the fact that I’ve seen the video of her birth and been told about it so often, but I don’t believe this. Sure, I was just barely two years old, but I’ve always had a good [...]

I wouldn’t apologize except that I know that I get worried when I don’t hear from my blogger friends for a while. So here’s the update: Things are tough. Jeremiah is at the psyche ward right now due to a week of chaos. Our simple hope is [...]

Jeremiah is in respite with a good friend who has a therapeutic youth ranch. He’s serving, and hopefully healing. He’s not here. That’s different. Because Jeremiah is not here, I can actually go into the next room without thinking about where everything is and what is missing when I [...]

Jeremiah will use his head instead of his butt (our new catchphrase) and will find other ways of amusing himself other than finding ways to try to piss [...]

She realizes how much she loves her husband and how amazing he is. She realizes how holding a baby (especially in a moby wrap) makes people react to you differently. (More on that soon.) She prays [...]

E is sleeping, so we get goin’ on paper work. I run to [...]
