    Just sayin'......

    Just sayin'.....balancing work and caregiving is a challenge lately. Our life feels like it is on the precipice of massive change. I am hoping to stay in my teaching job until the end of the school year unless my husband's condition makes it necessary to leave sooner. I have a huge AP Psych...

    Poor Sunny

    Sunny is our 10 year old beagle. She was bred in a puppy mill and spent the first 3 years of her life in a small cage crowded in with other dogs. Then she was sold to a vet school to be used as a lab dog. Students used to practice operating on her. At the base of her spine there is a white...

    A Year in Review

    April 10th. This morning around 9 am, my husband reminded me by pointing at letters on a sheet of paper while I held his left arm, that today marked the anniversary of his grand mal seizure exactly one year ago. This date will forever be marked in our minds as the day when our lives would...
