What. A. Yuck. Week. We were two ER visits in with our youngest, Sara, for kidney problems, and she and I were up all night again last night, but she went back to school today anyway, toughing it out. What a trooper I say. ❤️ And, the plan – bahahahaha! – was that our eldest,… Read more

I last wrote about an awful day on Thursday, hoping for a restful Friday, but that was not to be. The daughter I recently wrote about, who struggles with BPD and type 1 bipolar disorder, is off visiting her grandparents, you see, so you would think that would create some space for rest for her… Read more

Here in the Hippie Hut, we had several nifty things going on over this past weekend. Saturday morning, Sara and I got to go to a book signing and meet the senior pastor of our church, Pastor Chris, which was so much fun: Then we took Henry, the service dog/wonderpup to see Santa: And, of… Read more

Yesterday we had a rare beautiful snow day in Alabama: And, of course, school was cancelled. And, unfortunately, my husband needed to stay at work as he is essential personnel for the type of work he does. However, in the past, I would have been called in as well due to weather. But… Read more
