If they eye offend thee pluck it out, or in my case it was my uterus
I had a hysterectomy yesterday. It’s been in the works for almost 9 months, well really almost a year and a half now. When crap hit the fan in 2023, one of the things I wanted was a hysterectomy just so that my period, which has been painful for years, was one last thing I…

Too Many Glass Balls
To reuse Amelia’s metaphor, I’ve dropped the plastic balls, which includes this blog. My slow down in posting started by me living in the moment and enjoying life and my family. I wanted to soak the good in not try to process it in words. I had the energy to participate fully in life, which…

Genetics
Genetics…. The gift that keeps giving. Today I am sitting at the physical therapist with my daughter. She is here to help with pain from joint instability due to hypermobility. Yay!

This week I was reminded how hard car travel can be with littles, especially when everyone in the car is neurodivergent. The first trigger was when my mom called and said she was coming to my house…

The Energy Balancing Act
I’ve had some personal introspection going on lately. Allow me to set the scene. When I was a mom to 3 young toddlers I was an outdoorsy playing mom. Walk to the park regularly. Check. Monthly beach trips. check. Walk to the grocery store, also check. Regular swim days, another check. Our tv broke and…

When crap hits the fan
I’ll be honest that I have been procrastinating writing a post for today. I’ve not felt well for the last 2 weeks. And then the last 30 hours happened. I was just about to write my post when my daughter yelled “mom the sink is leaking!” So instead you get pictures of minor catastrophies that…

A Day in the Life of a Neurodivergent Family
I’m taking a brief interlude from explaining my migraine treatment to tell you about the day I had last week. It started like any normal day. I woke up around 7:15, but had a hard time getting out of bed until 8 or 8:30. I went upstairs to work on the large amount of dishes…
