Marathon Recap!
Oh man, I feel like a total jerk because I haven’t posted here in such a long time. I know you and my parents are the only people who read this, but I feel bad, regardless. Thanks for checking back in with me. The Chicago Marathon was last weekend, and I can’t believe it was…
Speech Attempt #2
Not too long ago, our little boy rang the bell to signal the end of his treatment for leukemia. Not too long after that, we had a really big party in our yard to celebrate and say thank you to all of the friends and family members who helped us throughout the treatment process. We…
Moving through it
I’ve tried to starting writing this about 10 times. Every time I sit down to put something in this text field, I suddenly remember something else I need to do. I think my avoidance of the topic is interesting evidence of trauma, in that I can’t trust that this good thing is going to last.…
Bigger than a Sprained Ankle
Listen, the problems in the world are bigger than a sprained ankle. I’m not here to complain about my little woes as if they’re the most important things going on right now. I’m just not properly situated to publicly comment on politics or Supreme Court decisions or issues of racism or like… poverty and hunger.…
40 in 40 Days
While part of my brain can’t believe it’s true, my lower back pain and higher body fat percentage can help me confirm that I will, in fact, be turning 40 in just over a month. I’m almost there, to almost a third of the way through my life. Heh. Letting that sink in a second.…
Not just a mom
Here I am, standing in my kitchen, writing about anything other than my children, the little loves of my life who have inspired me to work toward being a better person more than any other person in my life (sorry Husband). I’m NOT going to write about the fact that they’re on summer break or…
Let’s all watch Women’s March Madness.
I am competitive. I have always been competitive. It’s been in my bones my whole life. I remember being deeply upset over losing simple games as a kid, much as my sons cry over losing board games now. I remember yelling at refs on tv as a pre-teen and being told that’s not really something…
Cal’s Angels Gala
We got to be fancy once again a couple of weekends ago. Twice in 2 weeks! We went to a fundraising gala for Cal’s Angels, the pediatric cancer charity we do things with sometimes. I also ran the marathon for them last year and am on the Cal’s team for it again this year. I…
What I Learned at a Wedding
This past weekend, Dear Husband and I went away without the boys for the first time since before Little Man’s diagnosis. We went to the wedding of a couple of treasured friends from our DC days, which was attended by even MORE treasured DC friends, many of whom have spread to the winds and have…
Treadmill to the Rescue
Little man had a big hospital appointment yesterday, as he does every 3 months. Husband was planning to take him, but we both woke up at 5am and immediately knew the original plan was going to be altered dramatically. First of all, we were awoken by the little one coughing, which was bad since he…
