Not Enough Time
You know those days where you have your one appointment so doing other stuff is just more exhausting? Well, that was me today. Dentist at 10am messed up the rest of my day. Because after, I had to get groceries. Then I got home and had to make myself lunch. Then I had a bit…

So Tired…
Well, I think our son has learned to use sleep deprivation as a torture tactic on us. Right now it’s worse than when he was a baby. At least back then it was get up, feed, put back to bed. Now it’s… who knows. Will he come down! Will he come down again? When will…

Life
Life. Life is nuts. Things are super stressful right now. Like, crazy stressful. To take my mind off things, I’m binge watching Bones. Again. And binged the “Flanaverse” shows. While editing my novel. Ahh my novel. That beast that nags at me. wanting me to fix it. Wanting me to perfect it. Wanting me to…

Worst. Flu. Ever.
So I realize I haven’t posted in a week. That’s pretty odd for me, even though I just started this blog. For those wondering, I have the flu. Probably the worst I’ve felt in a long time. And my son has it, too. So, I haven’t been writing. I’ve been just surviving, barely. I’ll return…

Eleven Years
Eleven years. Eleven years since I became a mom. Eleven years since I held my first babies. I first discovered I was pregnant in the summer of 2011. I hadn’t even realized until I took a test just to see. We were all elated. We were having my parents’ first grandbabies. But we didn’t find…

Halloween
Standing here, waiting for our oldest’s first hockey practice to start. It’s already been a pretty positive experience so I’m hopeful it goes well! I don’t really know what to talk about today though. Nothing exciting has been happening. Oh wait. Halloween was Monday. Okay, that was pretty awesome. It was also my hubby’s and…

One-on-One Support
I’ve never cried during an IEP before today. Today we spoke with my twins’ principal and teacher about how they’re doing so far. And it’s not awesome. Our son is essentially regressing this year, to the point where we need to hire him his own support person in class. I never thought this would happen.…

Sports Sports Sports
As you all know, we have three AuDHD kiddos and the hubby and I both are, as well. This makes just regular day-to-day activities challenging. We have all three kids in extracurriculars on top of their autism services, like occupational and speech therapy. Our days are full and busy. So when we choose to do…

Family Time
My dad has been visiting since Wednesday. Hence the radio silence over here. Family time is important to us. But it’s also so tiring. It’s hard to find time for other things when family is the main focus. It was great seeing my dad. Since we moved four hours away, it’s been hard. And since…

Understanding
I’m finding it’s a fine line between wanting be seen as “normal” or just like everybody else, and wanting my differences and challenges acknowledged. I don’t want myself or my kids to be looked down upon or pitied, but I do want the reality of our autism and ADHD to be appreciated and not ignored.…
