Ladybug Girl

When I was in the bookstore in Dayton, 50$ in my pocket, I bought all sorts of books for the kids.  For Sambam I wanted something distinctly girly.  Most all of her books, at that point, were hand-me-downs from her brothers filled with trucks and all things boy.  And while I take no issue with [...]

And That’s A Wrap!

I had my final, for a while, session with my Psychiatrist last week.  I’ve managed to keep up the stable long enough, and trying to get in is causing more stress than what it’s worth.  It’s something we’ve both known was coming for a while.  We’ve worked towards it.  Progressed to it.

See That Balcony? I’m Going To Sleep On That Balcony If The Weather Permits!

What about the wild animals, Karen? It’s a balcony!  A really high up balcony!  I’ll be fine! Animals climb, Karen, with their claws.  That they’ll use to maul you. Then they’ll just have to agree to snuggle. We’ve put the deposit on our cabin.  Hot tub on the balcony outside.  Jacuzzi inside.  Pool table loaded [...]
