To My Daughter, Just before Surgery
Someday... someday you will read this letter. Someday you may ask me why. Someday you may ask me how. Someday, I may gloss over something that would have been important to you. To avoid that, I'm writing this letter to you today.
Dear Birdie,
Today you are only three (and a half!) years old. I've done all I can to prepare you, but you still ( Read more... ) -
Gratitude
A lot has been going on lately. A lot medically, a lot with friends and parties, work, theft, geez- a lot even with lightbulbs. Lightbulbs!!! Ugh ( Read more... ) -

Medical 12-Month Snapshot
Given all the discussion revolving around the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) I thought I'd like to paint a little picture about whas has happened in our family in the last 12 months. For some context, we're a lower middle class family. We do not own our own home, but we are fairly comfortable. We do, however, struggle at times. My husband ( Read more... ) -
A Woman's Place is in the Resistance
I haven't really posted much since the election. A lot has been on my mind. My daughters' heath is at the forefront. Peaches had a nasty fall, injuring her knee, and putting her in crutches back in October. Now, she needs THREE surguries to make her whole again. Literally the next day, Birdie also had a fall, which put her in a cast for a week ( Read more... ) -

Ramblings at 3:30am
I had the weirdest dream. I was in the hospital, and was informed that I needed a kidney transplant to live. I was listed right away, and amazingly, got a match the next day. That never happens. The doctor says I need to be in the hospital for 10 months (!!!!) to recover. Also, that I can't breastfeed any longer due to the drugs I'll be getting. So ( Read more... ) -
Great Job, Mom. Now we need cast #4.
Last night was spaghetti night, so afterwards Amy had her bath as usual. Except I must nott have checked to make sue that the seal was completely airtight. Because when she came out of the bath, her foot was wet. Great ( Read more... ) -
Bubye Cast #2, Hello Cast #3!
So after dealing with tripping and falling, stubbed toes, her shoe flying off and making her fall, and general off-balancedness... Shriners told us to come back. The funny part was that when she called, I had already made the long drive to Sac, and was in the parking garage of the hospital ( Read more... )
