My son has been living with chronic pain. He’s been battling a horrendous beast. When he was in 2nd grade, the doctor told us that, at some point, medication WILL be necessary. The last 8 years, I’ve let him deal with this pain in his own way, allowing him to slap away my helping hand. [...]

Mind Purge Monday: A Little Lost
January 9th, 2012 
admin I ask myself what I’m doing. Often. I run around, chasing after something that doesn’t have a shape or name, I just know I need to catch up to it. To grab onto it. Maybe then, I’ll know what this elusive something or other is. That encompasses so much of my life; career, family…you name [...]

December 6th, 2011 admin 6am: Not so gently awakened by the deep voice of a 15 year old man child who is informing me that I’m stupid. Why am I stupid? Because he has no clean clothes and no dry clothes. Why? Because I’m stupid and didn’t turn the dryer on so all of his clothes are sopping wet [...]
