I know this. I wake up bleary eyed and vaguely incoherent. I can stagger to the coffee pot, turn it on, and then go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, switch over the laundry and throw in a new load. By that time, the coffee is usually done, so I can pour the first cup …

Observations from December
I’ve declared the December Dilemma over. It’s simply not something I participate in anymore. I don’t think I could have done this earlier, it was a long process to get me to this point. I don’t regret all the angst, because I had to get thru it, but I’m much more relaxed and peaceful about …

Confusion
And frustration. That’s where I am right now. I’m trying to wade thru the paperwork and process of getting Sam the services he needs while still homeschooling – and it’s a hot mess. Nobody knows who I need to talk to, nobody wants to say that they’ll step up and help me figure it out. …

Sunrise
I woke up this morning a little before five. In my dream, Jessie slammed a car into another one, and totalled both of them. Nobody was hurt, in my dream, but she had done it accidentally because she was mad, and I was busy taking care of Julie and couldn’t stop her. Then Marc was …

Thanksgiving
We’re prepping a little differently this year. In the past, we’ve split up on Thanksgiving. Marc stays home with Sam and sometimes Julie, and Jessie and I spend Wednesday night and most of Thursday at my mother’s house. And in years past, that’s been okay. Sometimes Marc, Sam and Julie would come down to my …

I’ve never had a case like this
That’s the theme for Sam, apparently. And honestly, hearing that about your child is not really something that bodes well for me. Nine year old boys don’t get pseudo-tumors from a bike accident. Psuedo tumors don’t NOT get better when on Diamox. Diamox doesn’t impact taste buds to the point where they just don’t work …

Don’t discount what you’ve been through
I had a session yesterday with Sam’s therapist, just a catch-up sort of thing – because in so many ways, he’s improving, but there are still issues that we grapple with. The bigger issues now seem to be focused on dealing with negativity – he’s really uncomfortable with sitting with and handling negative emotions. He …

Ugh
Not a great night. Not a terrible night, but not one that I’m going to want to relive any time soon. It’s Friday night, and we always do Shabbat dinner. Almost always. But every now and again, something will come up and plans will change. This Friday, our rabbi is hosting Challah-ween, and it’s a …

All is well
This is where I’m supposed to be now. We’re back to a state of equilibrium. I used to think that we were too lucky – that things were so easy. Not that they were easy, because they weren’t. The kids fought and argued, I worried about them. We never really had enough money, the laundry …

Jewish holidays
I like the Jewish holidays. I especially like the fall Jewish holidays, because they’re the ones that I can celebrate just as a regular Jewish person. There’s no conflict with Christmas, like there is in December and Hanukkah. There’s no stress over whether or not I can give the kids cereal or pasta, like there …
