Being in a wheelchair has made for some unexpected adventures in this whole, grown up thing. Like having to buy a new TV so I stop running into the sofa. A few years ago, a friend of Ben’s offered us a free big screen TV, and like most men addicted to the neon god, Ben [...]
Ben and I went shopping for our Godson’s birthday gift last night. After a quick consult with his mom, we went off in search of a present related to tools, cooking, Elmo, or Barney. (Tools were added to the list when Dude interrupted our phone call with a mad dash across his house, trying to [...]
An email last week has opened up the potential of meeting another blogger in person, during a big move across states. Considering the extent of her trip, I offered up my home as a meeting place, as well as an opportunity for a hot meal, a shower, and if nothing else, a chance to be [...]
It’s been a week since my cousin went into labor on my dad’s birthday. Sunday, my aunt and cousin showed up so I could meet the newest addition to the family. I was still leery: who knew which emotion the visit was going to stir up. Would I sit and bawl as soon as the [...]
The past two days have been rough. Monday was my dad’s birthday. And my cousin went into labor. It was hard to have the combination of missing someone (especially on his birthday) and being faced with another reminder of how much work is left to get to our fertility goals. It took me awhile to [...]
Operation ignore Mother’s Day went pretty well. So did Operation Retail Therapy, but that’s a post for another day. Our Godson visited on Saturday so we were able to give him his Easter basket. In return, Dude gave me a finger-painted (God) Mother’s card. Having my Godson around made my doom-and-gloom about the holiday go [...]
I’m lucky enough to have three of the most endearing, unconditionally-loving pups in the world. As soon as you step foot in our house, you are bombarded by the furry welcoming committee, determined to lick your face off to show that, you? You’re okay in their book. While the dogs have come into our lives from [...]
With Easter being only two days away, Ben and I took a trip to https://www.kmart.com this week to shop for our Godson’s (aka, Little Dude) gift. We had the chance to participate in the #KmartEaster Build-a-Basket challenge, which was to make your own basket of goodies for $30. Before we went shopping, I got [...]
I had a conversation with a friend the other day, who made the comment that sometimes, she forgets that I’m in a wheelchair. I get that. There are times when even I forget about it. Yesterday was not one of those times. I had taken the dogs out back that afternoon to do their business. [...]
I’m linking up with Mrs. Monologues again for Fur Baby Friday After last weekend’s beautiful, warm weather ended in a dreary, windy, cold week, I think everyone in my house found themselves congregating near the sliding glass door in the kitchen, which gets hit by sunlight for almost the entire day. I found the two [...]
