Wednesday was our last day with Atti’s therapists and it was awful. These women have been my support system for the last two years. Atti’s OT has been seeing him since he was 4 months old. The ladies from HOPE have been seeing him since the day I brought him home. It was like saying […]

You know what is a SERIOUS pleasure? A friend who reads this tweet: There are so many things I’m supposed to be doing now that I’m just paralyzed. Can’t pick a place to begin! and decides that the perfect solution is to blow off responsibilities and head to the zoo. And then pops over while […]

*I posted the wrong video. This one has some alphabet and numbers. All better.Atti will never perform on command, so to get his latest achievement I had to hide in the background. One day Atticus was crawling around playing with his toys, and Bear and I noticed him saying his ABC’s. We both came in […]

Last week I got an email from my friend Cynthia. “Hey, I’m making jam. Wanna come over?” Because I am drowning in this dang move, I said, “Absolutely!” but I begged her to tackle it the next day when I could get away. Or so I thought. I make my way over to Cynthia’s, after […]

This morning we’re sitting around the house, Atti’s crawling around playing with his toys and I’m hopping all over the internet trying to cross things off of my massive to do list. A free morning is an extremely rare thing around here, and ordinarily I’d treasure it, but today it’s sad. We’re only home because […]

Reader Robyn in Australia sent me this picture the other day, and I just loved it. This is her little grandson feeding an orphaned kangaroo a special bread treat. I’ve heard from my Australian friends that kangaroos are really no big thing and kind of a pest sometimes, but to my American experience they are […]

This weekend was a tough one. A 7 hour drive, followed by three more driving around town, a baby at the limit of his patience and no naptime, a whole family sleep in a bed too small for a little someone who likes to sleep perpendicular to the rest of us, another day driving all […]

I really love how so many of your comments about our move have been along the lines of, “But your house!” Because that’s exactly how I feel. I’m trying really hard to not think about it. I’m a problem solver, so I’m trying to just focus on the problems to be solved in front of […]
