A memorable moment…was when Miss Sam reminded me that I have a daughter, a husband, a mother-in-law, sister-in-laws (and the list went on) that love me and that they are all I need. I am grateful…for my therapist who took the time (without an appointment) to explore my fears and provide a measure of confidence [...]

A memorable moment…was when Miss Sam announced that she would not be trick or treating this year. Such a burden of guilt has been lifted off my shoulders.

A memorable moment…was when I wrote out the last check for Miss Sam’s braces!!! Yippee! She has about three more months before she can get them off but at least now they are paid for. I am grateful…for my home. Driving home from dropping Miss Sam off this morning I drove by some apartments and [...]

This has been our ‘usual’ routine when an asthma attack has been particularly bad. This is the [...]

A memorable moment…was when I paid all the bills and actually had some money left over. I am grateful….that I was able to counsel my clients this morning and the weekend has now begun! I laugh…at how I think I can do it all. I remember…when the kids that we are taking care of (while [...]

A memorable moment…as parents we tend to view our children through the filter of ‘that’s my baby’. A memorable moment for me was yesterday when Miss Sam walked down the driveway to see yet another ‘new member’ of our family. I watched her walk down the driveway and I found myself without my mommy filter [...]

A memorable moment…so there I was, sitting on the edge of the desk in my natural ‘lecture’ position and I just happen to look down….and there before my very eyes I see that part of my jeans are missing. No seriously. Remember, I wrote about Snickers and her craving for tasty morsels that are soft [...]
