Free time?! What’s that?!
This is my life. This calendar is my lifeline, plus the monotony of day to day life that doesn’t need to be tracked and scheduled into a calendar. Add in the feeds every 3 hours, followed by clean the feeding pump & getting the next feed prepped, keeping N positioned to avoid reflux, then doing his stretches, exercises, & at home therapies, etc. etc. We can’t forget spending some one-on-one time with E. He can’t be overlooked in all this. Where do I find the time to shower? Oh wait, I don’t many days. I’m lucky to brush my hair and teeth daily. And people wonder why I don’t have…

WWYS?
The other day was “National Text Your Ex Day”. What would you say? Mine would go something like this. “You’re just somebody I used to know.” “PS-Your wife seems like a pretty amazing person & your kids are cute.”

NaBloPoMo 2012

For those of you that don’t know, NaBloPoMo is “National Blog Posting Month”. I’m really going to try. I need to start taking time for me and maybe this will be the kickstart I’ll need.

They return to their own lives blissfully unaware of the earth shattering blows I received almost daily. Rightfully so because I don’t expect to be the centre of the world and people have to get back to their regularly scheduled programming. You come to expect the natural pattern and flow of things. The influx of support then the slow retreat until you are left alone…

Doctors, Therapists, & Nurses – Oh my!
We had made it. It was a month of the saddest, most confusing, exhausting, love filled days I could ever had imagined and it was over and we were heading home, just in time for Mothers’ Day. But I wouldn’t have made it through without the support of friends, family, nurses, and doctors. The outside support was outstanding and what got me through day to day, especially those days where I was away from J & E and all I had were the nurses, our amazing Ped. at Children’s, and Skype. Just recently I’ve been hearing a lot of complaints and regrets about Doctors and nurses in the early days…
