Ever been so tired you just can’t sleep?

Originally posted 2015-10-14 17:51:15. I don’t give up easily but here lately I’m testing those waters. I’m not really a drinker per say, even though I am of Irish descent. I wonder what happened to that part of me, who fights a good fight til the end like an Irishman, so stubborn. But between having to keep one eye and ear on Dusty while doing the same over James I’ve almost seemed to lose site…

Have you seen Radio?

Originally posted 2019-09-06 17:07:57. The inspiring true story of the real life friendship between Robert “Radio” Kennedy and coach Harold Jones and the thirty-year legacy of victory they created. I love this movie. In some ways Dusty has certain mannerisms that Radio had. I often wonder was Radio autistic. In the movie, Radio’s momma tells the coach the doctors didn’t never gave her a name for what he had. Times have changed since those days,…

Prayers Please

Originally posted 2020-12-07 15:20:11. Please keep us in your prayers. This morning we found out that we may have been exposed to someone who was COVID19 positive. We weren’t around this person but my niece and nephew were and they came to our home several times, like they always do. They came over on Saturday, back and forth like normal. They just didn’t know they were around someone who was positive just I guess not…

Dusty’s Art

Originally posted 2019-08-19 09:26:41. Dusty has some coloring books and wanted to do some of them. Not bad I’d say. I remind him to stay in the lines and this was the result. What you think? Anyone have suggestions or things you may do to aid your kids? He graduated high school (2013) and well doesn’t do things like this anymore. Not on a regular anyway. There aren’t many things for these kids that graduate…

Aging With Grace Is A Blessing Not Always A Requirement

Originally posted 2015-03-15 15:31:49. Another year older and some would say another year wiser but hey we can’t all be perfect. 😉 I have been MIA the past 4 weeks. It has been a very trying time considering my 21-year-old son has decided to take on actions of younger children to teens. Since my daughter has been away in college he hasn’t seen much of her. He was so used to having her by his…

Its a new year and what will it bring

Originally posted 2015-01-07 00:57:18. Well its now 2015, Yay! What that means, who knows. Will it be a good year for us and so many more, one could hope so. To start off the new year a very close family friend’s husband of 28 years passed away. He had been suffering from ALS. He passed on January 2, 2015. His wife is such an overwhelmingly loving person who we were honored to connect with back…

The plot thickens

Originally posted 2014-12-12 21:36:07. Today I have really been on the edge and just really anxious. Why really not sure why. Been trying to handle all the above with seemingly none of the below. From the VA to the SSA it’s all been a fight to the finish line. Not to mention the insurance premium program that I applied to months upon months ago. Until recently I had seemed to just be talking to the…

Killing time

Originally posted 2019-07-22 19:00:34. With it being so hot we found something for Dusty to do to stay busy. Plus an added benefit working on fine motor skills.Did you know there are lota of ways to work on their motor skills outside of a doctor’s office setting? I guess this beats him sitting here just watching the ice machine.
