I have had enough and I want to run away ( Read more... )

Rose is all done with kindergarten! I'm so proud of all the hard work she's done. She's reading chapter books on her own now. She can add and subtract two digit numbers (though we haven't done "carries" and "borrowing" yet). And her powers of observation are still astounding ( Read more... )

Well, you know how I posted about my car? Well, last week on his way to one of his meetings, Aaron got hit by another driver. She made a left turn in front of him at an intersection and totaled our car. Aaron was mostly fine. When the airbag went off, it gave him a burn/scrape on his arm, knocked his glasses off his head and caused a scratch, ( Read more... )

Thursdays tend to be my crazy day of the week. There's grocery shopping, school, and then Daisies with Rose. Plus all of the other normal stuff. But, today... I guess I thought I'd add to the craziness. I don't know ( Read more... )

She said that he had been depressed since childhood and has probably never experienced true happiness and contentedness, just varying levels of depression (he was mentally and ( Read more... )

I dread nighttime anymore. The generalized anxiety gets worse at night (as do the heart palpitations). So, it takes me forever to get to sleep. But once I do, I don't stay asleep because I get achy or uncomfortable and wind up waking up every time I turn over. I've found a few things that seem to be easing my symptoms, but only the ones that ( Read more... )

Well, we had a classic ending for a Monday. Aaron, Josiah, and I had already come upstairs from the basement to start getting dinner ready. Rose followed us up a few minutes later. The problem was that she came up yelling in pain and crying. Apparently, she was running to come up stairs, slipped on her socked feet, and then fell on the tiled ( Read more... )

Things are going a bit better around here. Aaron and I have had some talks. Definitely told him I never want to see Drunk Aaron again. He agreed to that. He seems to feel really bad about the whole thing. He said he threw away the rest of the vodka. We talked about some of the things he said while drunk and he doesn't remember. He says he ( Read more... )
