Originally posted 2014-10-28 21:19:24. You live with someone who has seizures you are always on the look out for the next one. In Dusty’s case we never know if he is sitting there having one don’t realize know it. We have been trying to figure out just how many seizures he is having so that the doctors can try to better control them. It’s a constant battle. I love my child but there are plenty…

That was close

Originally posted 2014-10-23 15:51:42. This morning my husband went to get his motorcycle riding gloves to prepare to leave for work. I hear him ask me to come here. I get up and see what he needs. He asks me, “Is that a black widow spider?” I state first off that I thought it was. Then I proceed to get my phone to take a picture and ask a few people if what they thought…

SWAT Affirmations

Originally posted 2023-05-21 14:35:26. It’s a lazy overcast Sunday afternoon. I can’t seem to keep my eyes open from being so exhausted. I guess going through menopause isn’t something for those of us that have things to do lol. So I find something new to watch on the ole boob tube. I started watching SWAT with Shemar Moore the other day. Yes, I know it isn’t exactly a new show. I spend alot of time…

Another day of parenting

Originally posted 2014-10-14 19:30:12. One of my biggest struggles with my son is his ability to understand that even though he is 21 years old he doesn’t have the mind of a 21 year old.

Mother’s Day

Originally posted 2018-05-15 13:47:50. Forgot to share. Not sure when my husband managed to get Dusty to pick one out… but then again he probably just picked one out from Dusty’s point of view. Hope all my mother’s had a good one! Only thing we’d change on this card would be sports, just replacing it with food. Better yet, all 3 would likley be food.

The reality of PTSD and its effects on our military is ever more present in our everyday lives. My husband even changed after coming home from deployment. He won’t admit to it at all. After being screwed out of his career, trying to find a job, keep insurance for our family and keep our…

Autism and what it is in my home

Originally posted 2014-09-05 15:12:24. I recently watched the movie Rainman with Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. I believe this was the first of its kind to show autism on this platform. It showed just how many people even those in the medical field were not aware of it and how much we didn’t know. As I watched it I say so many similarities in Dustin Hoffman’s character, who had autism. Even though it is now…
