Somebody came home.
So here it is: For four very brief but intense days last week Jacob reentered my life, and just like that he is gone again. This is not atypical at all. What is atypical this time is that I think I’ve finally got it. This time I listened and helped. That’s it. I approached this...
That is really good to read. I’m glad that you two have made such headway in your relationship.
That’s awesome! I’m so happy for y’all.
He’s way ahead of me already. I have no idea what balancing a checking account means. And here’s figuring stuff out! Unfortnately, mine keeps changing every blasted time have something figured out. But do NOT tell me that doesn’t ever change. It’s a dream of mine.
Well sports fans it’s that time again. Yep, Jacob turns 17 today and I have to say this is one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. Almost up there with actually, physically letting him go. Jacob, Happy birthday! I can hardly believe you’re 17. I’m so glad they don’t let people have babies...
happy birthday to Jacob. He’s got the best present any kid could ask for: a mother who loves him and is willing to admit that we all need to grow and mature.
..That, and a truck. Truck’s are cool.
Man. I realized today that I am still telling my 11-year-old what to wear and cutting his meat for him.
I think I am going to have issues with this one…
Dude! You rip my heart out with these letters you write to your kids. You’re amazing.
Em is feeling better. It turns out it is not fifths disease, but she is allergic to the antibiotic. Good times. Jack lost his first tooth on Monday. Thank goodness. The damn thing was dangling around for days, really upping my ‘eeeww’ factor past what I can tolerate. The tooth fairy left him a little...
I am relieved about Em. I hate it when kiddies are sick. It’s just wrong, ya know.?
BWAH ha ha ha! on that photo. Killer.
And, “Asta la Pasta?” That only makes me adore you more. (That and you can dance. Hee!)
HAH! He reminds me of my boy….who spends a great deal of time flexing in the mirror and admiring himself. Too cute.
Your kids freaking crack me up! I can’t wait to see you! I’ll be in BR tomorrow, although my head will probably hit the pillow as soon as I arrive. I’ll call ya!
Looky Daddy’s recent dip into the seizure pool has really hit home for me. Most of you know that Jacob was diagnosed with petit mals seizures in 1st grade and had his first grand mal in 6th. Even after the diagnosis, it was almost a year before he actually had a seizure in front of...
Some day he will get it, part of me feels that he already does- even if you don’t see it.
My Baby Brother has seizures that are currently uncontrolled–they’ve been tinkering with his meds for it seems like years now. Looked at surgery but he wasn’t a good candidate because the scar tissue they believe is causing them is too small and inaccesible to risk it. It’s funny about the at peace thing–even though he’s not my child, I’ve been there for lots and lots of seizures and you do come to a point where you realize it’s just the way it is.
And Jacob knowing how much you love him? I think it’s something they get at a deep level even when they don’t consciously seem aware of it.
Testing. Heard an ugly rumor that some can’t comment, it’s all lies I tell you, lies.
I can pull it up now. Yay! (I still can’t from my computer but it’s fine on the laptop. So…Problem on my end not yours!)
My sister has epilepsy. Well, she has a “Seizure” disorder. It isn’t true epilepsy. She has brain damage and it caused very erratic behavior all her life. It has gotten very, very bad. It isn’t well controlled with meds any more (Unlike most forms of epilepsy). She had an implant surgically put in that shocks her and prevents a lot of her seizures. It has really helped (AND helped her depression. They said that makes sense since it is a mild form of shock therapy in a way.
These seizures of hers started and incoherent babble and rapid eye movement and progressed to huge, grand mals. I am very used to them but it scares people to death. I’ve learned if I just stay calm, so will they.
MM is right…It’s just the way it is.
Cute! Happy!
HAPPY HAPPY!!!! Sorry I missed this by over a blasted week, but I’m doing a happy dance anyway!
