185 minutes --the average amount of time I spend per week in the carpool line. 30 minutes -- the length of QMonster's drum lesson each week. 60 minutes -- the amount of time I am guessing I spend waiting at various places each month for miscellaneous things. This adds up to serious idle time each [...]
Alright...here goes nothing...its now or never for me. I have had an internal struggle with whether or not I should share this. One side of me thinks I should keep this to myself, avoid the questions, avoid the stares, avoid giving people something to talk about, avoid the shame & embarrassment. The other side of [...]
JHub, 4 years ago our friends and family filled that small winery to watch us say our vows, to celebrate our happiness, to wish us well in our future life, to show their love for us, and to drink the free wine. 4 years ago we were kids full of hope, love, and optimism. 4 [...]
When I found myself knee deep in the Special Needs world, I quickly realized I am QMonster's biggest advocate. I am the one that will have to fight the hard fights, ask the tough questions, and dig the deepest to find the answers.

This is a re-publish from our Sports & Stationery blog I used to write. It popped up on my "On This Day" feature on Facebook and I thought it was a good one....Originally written on Friday, August 7, 2015. QMonster was 3 at the time. I thought I would interrupt my "Sappy Post Series" with [...]
This is a story all about how my shower got flipped turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute. Just sit right there, I'll tell you how an ear of corn interrupted washing my hair. BTW if you didn't notice, that was supposed to be sung to the tune of the Fresh Prince of [...]
Hey fellow Hot Mess Mommas! Remember back in January when we decided we would pick a word or a phrase to center 2017 around? How is that going for you? Are you still reminding yourself of your word/phrase? Are you seeing a difference? Did you completely give up and are just focused on surviving at [...]
