I am dismayed at how we chew each other up sometimes. I don’t think much good comes of it. I think our energies could be better spent trying to solve the mysteries and making things as good as possible for all of us.

Special Exposure Wednesday – He Forgot
Mama made Easter goody bags for the boy’s class, to be given out before spring break. Guess what was in his backpack? Guess the excitement made him forget, 🙂 Apologies for posting late, it’s been hectic around here. Share what you managed to capture. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
Sometimes Our Special Kids are Just Kids
The dread of last summer visited us already this spring. Nights filled with tiny bumps about J’s feet, legs and arms that delivered the unsatisfiable itch. No anti-itch lotions or creams could touch it. The “brush” usually reserved for sensory processing disorder related therapy was now used to give temporary relief to the insanity. Of…
Special Exposure Wednesday – Poor Flowers
A little freedom outside + a scissor happy boy = cut flowers: At least, he did clean them up afterwards. Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
As They Grow…
I am the first to admit that March 7, 2007, was one of the toughest days of my life. I sat, holding the baby that only a week prior was declared “mine” in a court of law, while a neurologist told me my son had a diagnosis that changed his life forever. I felt numb….

Special Exposure Wednesday – Light It Up Blue

You’ve heard of the Tiger Moms, right? How about an Eagle Mom?
The child’s teacher has now hooked me on a webcam that follows a nesting pair of eagles. If you want to get hooked yourself check it out here. One of the days that my daughter wasn’t quite up to standing in line to wait for the bell to ring we went into the classroom early…
Special Exposure Wednesday – Quiet And Serious
The boy was quiet and serious while playing with his iPod Touch. Maybe I should just enjoy this while it lasts eh? 😉 Share what you managed to capture this week. Please spread the comment love around. Thank you.
A Lesson in “Nurse”
***I’m re-posting today because, ironically, I am at a mandatory class for my license!*** I am a red-blooded American Registered Nurse. I earned the right to call myself a nurse when I passed the NCLEX (which is a fancy name for the worst test you will ever take in your entire life) and…
