Soapy

Originally posted 2023-06-19 10:40:55. We have been trying to find the right hand soap for our son for the longest now. We have tried the Dial pump hand soap, which he used extremely fast. Then we tried some of the other of brand ones which he just didn’t get his hands clean. One we tried from Sam’s Club was the Safeguard pump hand soap. It wasn’t bad it just seems to get used up quicker.…

My Soul

My Soul hurts as today, June 14th 2025, marks one year since my Chewy has been gone. I know he isn’t hurting anymore. He isn’t suffering from the agressive cancer that ravaged his body, but it hurts so much that it is hard to even explain. His loss has changed me. I love dogs but it has left me no wanting to “fill that hole”. I hope those of you reading this understand what I…

Dreary Day

Originally posted 2023-05-28 12:05:06. It would happen to rain three straight days. I went to both my pre-op appointments on Friday and found out that someone mistakenly told me I could continue to take the naproxen and aspirin. I smell like eucalyptus lol. I have used my cbd muscle rub alot more today. I knew something didn’t seem right about that. I have never had anyone tell me that I could take them prior to…

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. He thinks because he is 21 he should be able to do as he pleases. He is able to see others like his sister who is able to do things that he isn’t. It is a constant struggle with him…

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…
