5 Obnoxious Things

Traveling always stirs up a story. It reminds me how we make our day-to-day world to be as easy and comfortable as possible. Leaving the safe bubble of home pushes us to new limits but can also be a little obnoxious.

5 Obnoxious Things I Experienced in Cleveland, OH this week:

Amazing AMCers: Meet Mark Hall

Mark became my bud on Facebook. It is really weird but I can’t remember how…just feels like he has always been there, commenting on my posts, wishing me Happy Birthday even when it’s not… His humor makes me laugh. I plan for my AMC bestie in New Zealand and Mark to marry. They are just taking their sweet time. *sigh*

LTYM Video

The videos for Listen to Your Mother are up.  Check out my story on being a disabled mom. The Milwaukee cast has a great collection stories.

Fetterman Crutches

I wanted to blog at least once a week.   Let’s be real…I’m happy I get my laundry done every week – Oliver pees on stuff a lot. Work consumes a lot of me. The rest goes to family, quality TV (have you seen Catfish on MTV?…OMG) and a few glorious moments lounging on my deck with my iPad to read (aka napping in the sun). Oh and really important Facebook and Twitter posts.

Poop in every yard…

Every day I am reminded that having a disability gives you a different perspective from the norm.  We dream of capabilities, face struggles and long for things that may never have even crossed another’s mind.

But to be honest, I think this goes beyond disabilities – it is just being alive. Old people long for energy and good knees, young people long for independence and wisdom, etc.

The grass is always greener right?  But we forget there is probably squirrel poop in every yard.

mama…is it cuz you’re old?

I think I have mentioned in the past that Oliver never paid much attention that his mom was different. 
He’s now 3 and is becoming rapidly aware of what other kids say and
do. 

Elephant Rides

Life is always a wild ride. Half of me loves all the exciting stuff that is up in the air, the other part of me really wants to be on a warm beach…sleeping in the sun by myself.
