    Christmas is depressing. I get why people get depressed. It feels you must have the perfect little family or the perfect little life to be able to enjoy it. It's been hard for me to feel like I had everything going well... I may have a tendency to focus on the bad... And then there are gifts... ...

    This morning I jumped out of bed, turned on his lights, asked him to wake up and went to take a shower. As he got up he came into the bathroom and said: Mommy, this morning when I woke up, my lights were on! Hehe I wondered how that happened. My son suffers from migraines since ...

  • On your 9th Bday, I want you to know…

    Today is a special day. Nine years ago I was in a hospital bed feeling like a truck had ran me over, in a lot of pain because of you. You delight in saying to everyone you meet that you were a huge baby (because at your age you don't understand bigger is not always ...

  • Under Control or Out of Control?
