A sorry excuse for why there isn't a new post.
Since I know thousands of you have been sitting on the edge of your seats waiting for the final installment of my 20 year old sob story, I figured I should let you know it will be a little bit coming yet.
I hurt my back on Wednesday last week and after a trip to the doctor on Thursday have been in Vicodin and Prednisone land ever since. Not to mention flat on my back. All of which is hardly conducive to reflective thought.
So part three is coming, as is a proper blog post. But probably not till next… Continue reading
Twenty Years On, Part Two
The call came at 2:30 am Thursday night/Friday morning. Within minutes my mother and I were speeding toward the hospital. I don’t think either of us said a word during the short drive, each of us lost in our own private terror.
We arrived at the hospital and reached the floor of my dad’s room. We are put into a waiting room. Told to wait. Speechless, we sit, and we wait. Each minute seemed like hours. A nurse comes in to tell us the doctor will be in shortly to talk to us. She cannot say any more. We overhear… Continue reading
Twenty Years On, Part One.
The call came at 2:30 in the morning. I had a phone right next to my bed, so I was the one that answered the phone. I was sixteen.

I yelled into the phone. I kept asking what is wrong. I got no answers other than we needed to get to the hospital immediately. By then my mother was awake and I… Continue reading
Girl Talk Thursday – Let's Talk Music
It’s oddly appropriate timing for the subject of GTT this week. (This is my first GTT post, btw). I commented on a blog last week about music and its significance in one’s life and it was suggested that I blog about my comments. Thanks, Jenn!
I have a special relationship with the music of Edwin McCain. He’s my favorite artist in the world. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him in concert numerous times and the honor of meeting and speaking with him on several occasions.
His music is ALWAYS my go to stuff, no matter what the mood.… Continue reading
Helpless
That word describes a lot of how I’ve been feeling and what I’ve been dealing with lately.
I took a week vacation while my mom visited. The week following that my husband and I were both sick, and as a result, were off work another week. I was able to spend a lot of time with my daughter. The kind of time I haven’t had with her since she was born and I was on maternity leave.
Walking away from her that first Monday morning to go back to work was agonizing. Some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt… Continue reading
