My Husband is Awesome and Here’s Why

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Last night Max threw the biggest tantrum I’ve seen him throw in a while.  We had had a great weekend, and Saturday night we had all stayed up till midnight.  It was so much fun.  I made him a midnight snack of a quesadilla and we all just played on the bed.  Conrad and I [...]

Long Evening/ Grey Gardens

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

School stuff

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Last night we had a meeting with a lady who we are looking to hire as an advocate to help us through the process of placing Max in school.

blindsided with reality

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Weird morning.
I just finished listening to a kid freak out in our court.  It happens on occasion, they’re being put in detention or sent to juvenile corrections and they get violent.  It always puts sort of a new spin on the day.
We sort of chuckle but at the same time it is sad and a [...]
