Stevie!!!! If we know two things about Stevie, it’s that 1) he has fine motor delays and 2) he has always hated anything arts-and-crafts related. Even to the point that he got booted from summer camp when he was like 4 years old because he wouldn’t participate in the creative process. Haha. Over the past…
Uhhhh, hello April. …and goodbye! Howdy May! …oh, we’re almost done. Sheesh. Is there some scientific explanation as to why the months and years feel faster as we get older? Because this is madness. This spring has FUH-LOWN by. And will lead into a busy summer too. School gets out in ONE WEEK for summer…
If you read my last post, you could probably guess that I was dreading Stevie’s latest appointment with the cardiothoracic (heart) surgeon. This would be our first time seeing him in nearly 8 years, which is kind of amazing when you think about the rough start we had. But of course it was to discuss…
Oh dear Lord, what a day! Frankly, I’m glad it’s over and Stevie is heading to bed. I was so anxious leading up to this procedure, but as promised, game faces were ON this morning. We were all feeling ready to kick some ass. Well, some of us more than others. Once we got into…
Sewing has brought me a great deal of comfort these past couple weeks. I have been a big ol’ ball of nerves leading up to Stevie’s heart procedure tomorrow. And sewing has given me something methodical and time consuming to focus on so that my brain can steer clear of the dark and scary thoughts…
Every time I sit down to try and write this post, I am short on words. I think I feel a little overwhelmed as usual, so I just don’t know where to begin. And today of all days, I am riddled with anxiety. But I need to avoid online shopping. So I’m going to do…
How many times can I play this game of catching up on the blog? As of late, I feel little urges to get back to writing. But it seems that every time I sit down and try to put my thoughts into words or my fingers to the familiar click-clack of the keyboard, my brain…
While I’m glad it’s over, there’s no mistaking that when I look back on our summer as a whole, there were some good times. And I have to pat myself on the back a little bit! Because I made that happen. It’s not easy. Most days I would’ve rather hid in my air-conditioned room watching…
You know if I’m dusting off the blog, it’s time for a pretty major update. But it’s major in a way that’s not really major at all. It doesn’t change anything in our day to day lives, but we have been seeking answers to Stevie’s health mysteries for quite some time. In that sense, an…
I’m someone who has always enjoyed going to the movies, because… IDK American? The sights, the smells, the sounds, I love it all. Even when the movie isn’t particularly good, and even as the ticket prices become more and more outrageous, I always seem to enjoy the overall experience. And of course, the popcorn. I…
