Mornings With A Pre-Teen Type 1 Diabetic With Autism Who Snuck High Carb Snacks for Breakfast
It shouldn’t surprise me, but it does. This morning was rough. This morning, I woke up to Dan’s glucometer buzzing. His blood sugars were high. Instead of jumping out of bed to face the noise, I shrunk under the blanket and hid my head in the pillow. Antonio pulled himself tighter into me, then said,Continue reading “Mornings With A Pre-Teen Type 1 Diabetic With Autism Who Snuck High Carb Snacks for Breakfast”
The Gift of Hope
This post is for my Aunt MaryLou. Last night her daughter Maren passed away after a long battle with cancer. I will probably write about it again, and about different facets of her battle, but right now, I want to talk about my Aunt MaryLou. Maren is her oldest daughter. MaryLou is about 22 yearsContinue reading “The Gift of Hope”
Too Much to Tell
I’m sorry the writing has been as daily as I have meant it to be. I have so much to be thankful for! My thoughts are a jumble. I feel like I need a pensieve (from Harry Potter) to organize and peruse the events. After the last post, I had so many people come byContinue reading “Too Much to Tell”

Good Morning
There are people I know who wake up without alarms. Dan, Antonio, my mother, my mother in law… these people all wake up without any outside help. Granted, I woke up Antonio this morning by accidentally dropping the cat on him, but USUALLY he wakes up without my help. For me, waking up is aContinue reading “Good Morning”
Energy
Today was one of those craptacular days. Antonio is in between jobs, so he promised me that I could enjoy sleeping in this morning, while he took care of the morning routine. Instead, we woke up to a customer screaming in the facility. Between the two of us, we managed to call the police, dealContinue reading “Energy”
Random Funny Pictures
Daniel dressed himself today. He always dresses himself, but today was extra special. random selfie Looking spectacular on the 4th of July! This crazy monkey is still going after 10 pm. Another crazy monkey picture. Bad fireworks picture. It’s evidence that these crazy pictures are in fact from the 4th of July.
Becoming a Parent
This is a post from before Antonio and I got married. I was just learning the joys of motherhood!
Being a Mother and Other Traumatic Tales of Womanhood
(I wrote this on the last Mother’s Day I was single. The next year, I married Antonio on the Friday before Mother’s Day and inherited two little boys. Life is oh so unpredictable.) I’m 36. I’m in that post 35 year old world. As a woman, you know what I’m talking about. “A woman’s chancesContinue reading “Being a Mother and Other Traumatic Tales of Womanhood”
