Behind the Medicine
I have not had a moment for a long time. Even now, it will be short. But since I have been away, I have had to start and adjust my son’s ADHD medication. On top of many other obstacles, this is one of the hardest. Simply because while he and I have support, it’s not from people we see every single day. In our home. And I am frustrated beyond belief. I am trying so hard to continue to encourage my son who, if you have a child with any kind of diagnosis along these lines, is not always very easy. Will he react well or will the world fall apart? Did he eat what he was supposed to or did he sneak something I won’t find out about for a week? Should I worry that he wants to spend time alone? My social butterfly? Those are just in the first 10 minutes of him returning home from school. Continue reading

Smoke and Mirrors
How many times do you meet someone and wonder how they have it all together? Or how many times have you found yourself envious of what someone else has? We have all done it, so it’s okay. No lying needed. No cover up required. Doesn’t mean it happens all the time. It is a moment in passing, especially if you are working on your walk with our Lord. Continue reading

Your Not Getting Brownie Points
Let’s make it simple. Stop telling your children to treat others better than you are choosing to treat them. Stop telling them to follow the Golden Rule when you yourself show the opposite. Guidance and redirection doesn’t have to be put downs and intentionally hurtful. Continue reading

Not Their Responsibility
I have been wanting to write this for a while now. I was not quite sure if I could explain it the way my brain has thought it out. Probably not, but it is worth a try. Here goes transparency. Continue reading

Children Learning Truth
One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the ability to be honest. To teach them that lying is a sin. We are just going to call it what it is. One of the things that seems to be hard to overcome is explaining good vs. evil. I suppose it depends on where your religious views lie Continue reading

Righteous Entitlement
There are just some things that make me really angry. There are some things that I have had to learn are not worth being angry over. It does nothing but upset myself, send my anxiety through the roof, and once that starts it is difficult not to let it overflow in to the rest of my day. And then other people can feel it permeating off of me. That is not what I want. And frankly, neither does God. Continue reading

Glorious in Panic Mode
Squirrels could be a distant cousin from the ostrich. At least in my world. Okay probably not but it sounds good and I am going with it. They can both hide their heads from the world when they feel like it. Something people with spur of the moment anxiety cannot do. Even though we want to. And it’s better than biting someone right? I just don’t feel like trying to get all the dirt out of my hair. Selfish me, I know. Continue reading
