Me and My Spasticity

ten things i succeeded at in 2011

January 4, 2012

What with it being the season of resolutions I thought it fitting to look back to 2011 and list some of the things I actually got right.  It wasn’t easy.  Seems coming up with things I ought to improve upon is a much easier task.  That said, looking at my list, I guess I didn’t [...]

Unsaid Fred

August 4, 2011

Jayce has officially been in kindergarten for three weeks now.  The first two were all laidback and recess and snacks and then they went and sent homework this week.  For reals.  This guy: I can’t help but think of him as Unsaid Fred.  He’s this totally blank canvas that Jayce is charged with turning into [...]

If

March 9, 2010

Lately my mind keeps being pulled to the ifs. The plots in the novels I’m reading, the estate planning software (unopened on my desktop) and topics on Oprah have my mind wandering. Yucky ifs. …if I end up in a wheelchair. …if I get Lou Gehrig’s disease. …if something horrific wreaks havoc on our life [...]

Panic In The Skies

December 7, 2009

Hi friends. Sorry about that brief delve into topics better left for the sides of trailers. I made him promise never to “surprise” me with a post again. If he does I might just leave him at the door-stoop of aforementioned trailer.  Let the creepy old man have his way with the hijacking husband. Moving [...]
