The Sickening Adventures of Leah

Those who know me know I like to brag a bit about the fact that I never get the stomach flu.  I just don’t get it.  I hadn’t (emphasis on HADN’T) for ages and ages and ages.  I don’t even remember the last time.  I dunno if there even ever was a last time.

Two Saturdays [...]

BAD Bloggers!!!

Gosh, Jennie and i are the worst lately.  Luckily when we do write a post for you…it’s so amazingly intelligent and entertaining that they fill you up with enough glee to hold you over between the lengthy waiting times.

I’ve just felt so…busy.  We have soooo much going on in our life right now.  Silas’ therapy [...]

Depression.

Depression begets apathy, apathy begets depression.  The cycle of my life.  It is with me even in my dreams.  It’s roots have grown so deep into me, intertwined into my inmost being that it feels almost impossible to break free from it.

The smallest amount of stress cripples me.  Company coming, children screaming, having someone in [...]

I like to blog about funny and uplifting things.  Today Boy vs13 built a lego structure in my honour.  It says, “MOM SUCKS”.  This is neither funny nor uplifting.

Any foster-to-adopt parents out there that can tell me that this will get better?

That’s all I got.

Conspiracy of Kindness

Something weird is happening.  First, little sister number one sent me a cute little card and a bookmark.  Second, Mommzie sent me a cute little card with a heart-decorated key to her home and $10 to go for coffee with a friend.  Third, little sister number two sent me [...]

Go Canada Go!

Canada and Norway are battling at this moment in the Canada’s men’s hockey team’s first game of the Olympics.  We’re winning.  Of course.

We hadn’t planned on watching the Olympics because we don’t have cable.  But I thought I’d give the good ol’ rabbit ears a try and … woo hoo … we [...]

Blue Tooth = DANGER

How is it that I always have so many blogging ideas when I’m NOT blogging????

Okay so you know now in BC it’s illegal for anyone to use a handheld device in the car…aka no cellphones.  No touching your cellphone no looking at your cellphone.  NOTHING.

So I went and purchased myself one of those [...]

M b12 Shots

I finally got my act together and got Silas in to see a DAN doctor.  DAN stands for defeat autism now.  They’re a group of doctors who use alternative medicine to help relieve the symptoms of autism.  Sometimes these methods work so well that you can’t even tell the child has autism anymore [...]

New Ink

I could have sworn I’ve blogged about this before…but I guess I haven’t.

I was on a mission to get a tattoo on my inner right arm that would remind me of Silas, his autism and the fight for it.  Googling autism tattoos wasn’t effective.  I didn’t like any of them.  I don’t like multi-coloured puzzle [...]

Sea-Monkeys and the Dump

Posted by Jennie C.

My big, little brother bought Girl vs111 a most wondrous gift at Christmas:  Sea-Monkeys!!!!  SO VERY VERY VERY EXCITING.  OK, I was definitely more enthusiastic about them than she was; I’m not even sure if she knew what they were.  But “Raising Sea-Monkeys” has been on my bucket list2 since I was [...]
