Head Tale - Music Monday – “So I’ll go but I’m telling you/I don’t wanna go/Could be stuck here and happy/So there’s a puzzle I work on endlessly/And I’ve got the sides and all the corners/But there’s a space/Yeah there’s a space/Lost some pieces I can’t replace/So I’ll be but I’m telling you/I don’t wanna be/Just a wasted puzzle piece”

Saturday Snap – Batman Smells?

Even with her dementia, my mom’s personality is still there – humourous, profane, caring and kind. I like nothing more than making her laugh and as much as the dementia has taken from her (and us), the disease has also made me love her more than I ever have. (Here’s her reaction to my “Robots […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Two Year Check-Up (April 2015)

When Sasha was born, my coworkers at RPL threw a baby shower for Shea and I. I still remember a couple co-workers who both had older children – one in high school the other with two in their early 20s – giving me a line that I still think of to this day: “Little kids, […]

Wisdom Wednesday – Glass Balls vs. Plastic Balls

A co-worker who said she was worried about me and the impact of the various stresses in my life right now related the glass balls and plastic balls theory. I’d heard it before but always good to have a reminder about what’s truly important in life. @theultimatemomchallenge Replying to @Dr Almas I think the main […]
