Yesterday was a challenge, a day of ups and downs (or more accurately, downs and ups).
M’s been pretty unstable for the past few days. He’s going back and forth between the calm stability he (we) had been enjoying for the past couple of weeks, and the edgy, unpredictability that’s been the norm since the beginning of the […]

A dear friend of mine gave me a book the other day. It’s called Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives, and it’s a wonderful book… I’m enjoying it very much.
I found this poem in the book and love it so much I wanted to post it here…

Let Evening Come

That’s how long M’s good spell lasted. If I’m remembering right this is one of the longest, calmest, spells he’s had since the onset of his schizophrenia about 7 years ago. It was a very nice 12 days… he was more stable and connected than he’s been in years. It’s been hard to go back to […]

During this past school year I decided to introduce M and R to Shakespeare… I bought some abridged children’s versions of some of his works which they read, and we also read several books about him. I thought they should know who he was, when and where he lived, and have at least a tiny bit of […]

I’ve been feeling like a complete slacker the past few days…
There are bills that need to be paid, the bathrooms are filthy, the gardens are weedy, and I haven’t even started the first of the two unit studies I wanted to get done this summer.
Granted, the past few weeks have been busy ones… we’ve had […]

I just got off the phone with the pdoc and given how well M is doing right now she doesn’t want to admit him into the day treatment program after all. We’re going to move him back down to the bottom of the waitlist instead. If he’s still doing well when he reaches the top […]

Thanks for the prayers for my friend Christiana, I haven’t heard any more about how she’s doing… I’m hoping the experimental treatments they are starting will be effective enough to reschedule the bone marrow transplant.
The struggle she’s been facing for the past six months really puts things into perspective for me… It’s hard to fuss […]

A friend of mine is fighting for her life right now, she needs your prayers…
She is a truly remarkable, powerhouse of a woman. She almost single-handedly put together the Empower Colorado organization… a group that is still going strong today, offering support, education, and encouragement to all parents of children with brain disorders.
She kept this […]

… from the wedding, and I’ve got LOTS of pictures to share.
The wedding was wonderful… E (dd#1) did an incredible job of planning it. It was beautiful, tastefully done, and went off without a hitch. I told her she needs to think about a career as a wedding or event planner. Everything… from our check-in at […]

I haven’t had time to blog, there’s been just too much going on here…
Some families spread their events…. graduations, weddings, etc… out over a period of years.
But in our family we save time and just do everything at once!
K’s (dd#3) graduation party was last Saturday and it was a wonderful party… We had mostly just […]
