Mother’s Day

Originally posted 2019-05-10 07:28:23. This is the first Mother’s Day without you. This is so hard. As I watch tv, listen to the radio, or even look at the newspaper or online all I see is Mother’s Day ads. I keep looking away. I want to avoid it like one would avoid the plague. This is fucking hard. I told James I don’t want anything nor do anything. I am so not ready to face…

Snail’s pace

Originally posted 2019-04-24 16:43:01. Grieving while being the mother and caregiver to someone with autism is hard as hell. Dusty watches me 24/7. He sees me crying, mad, frustrated, etc I can’t escape. All the while trying to repair hurricane florence damage. I have been going to my local massage envy every few weeks for a deep tissue massage. It has helped tremendously from a physical standpoint but not really helped mentally. I need an…

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

You know… there are times when I truly just can’t with my son… Here he is 30 years old and sometimes he acts like he’s six years old. He has been throwing tantrums like a little kid. He has been going outside in the backyard, dropping his pants/drawers and peeing 🤦🏼‍♀️ I can only imagine the horror if any of my neighbors were watching. Granted we do have six foot fence but my neighbor behind…

Is it for you?

Originally posted 2018-07-17 12:35:51. Is this how it is for you? Autism can be like a box of crayons, each one varying so differently but they have similarities.

The weirdest thing?

Originally posted 2020-05-28 17:21:57. Ok, so my BFF, Jess, and I were (what we call) running errands. At least that’s what we tell our husband’s 🤣 We went to Lowe’s home improvement store, twice, just two different stores. Then Home Depot. Walmart, twice (2 different stores). Food Lion, grocery store for those who aren’t familiar with them, 2 of them. Let’s not forget Sam’s Club. While in the second Walmart we went to customer service…

Only one I’ve ever known

I lost the only father I have ever known, my children lost the only grandfather (or better known as Pa to them). I am going to say he is now reunited with my mother. I haven’t even come to terms with my mothers passing and now this. I feel hella guilty because I haven’t even been able to return to my mothers house since she passed and now this. I feel left behind. My momma,…
