A Rainey Kind of Day: PATHETIC -----> PATH
http://raineykindofday.blogspot.com/2012/08/pathetic-path.html
A Rainey Kind of Day. Wednesday, August 8, 2012. PATHETIC - - - PATH. Was writing in my journal today.so much crap going on. My dad's death is actually one of the easier things to deal with right now! Things are worse than ever with Lauren. Don't want to get into details. I'm scared out of my mind. I wrote "PATHETIC" , in all caps, to describe my raw feelings about life right now. The first thing that jumped right out at me was "PATH". So many times, thousands of times, I have prayed for L and J to be he...

http://raineykindofday.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A Rainey Kind of Day. Friday, February 12, 2010. Yea, yea. I know, it's been a while. So, I'm driving Lauren to school. That is always an adventure in itself. Miss Someone has already woken up on the usual grumpy side of the bed. Stomp, stomp, stomp. "Where are my earrings? Stomp, stomp, stomp. "I can't find my jacket! Stomp, stomp, stomp. "I can put as much sugar on my cereal as I want to! Et cetera, et cetera. What a lovely start to my day! I guess what goes around really does come around. Have a g...

A Rainey Kind of Day. Saturday, November 26, 2011. To Quote Sponge Bob. DBT Dialectical behavioral therapy. This is a specific type of therapy helpful with Josh and Lauren's diagnoses, it's what they do at Youth Care in Utah and what Lauren and I are studying at The Tarnow Center. We then teach it to Rick so we all know the info. Radical Acceptance. Accepting that at this specific time and place, this is where I am and how things are. Sounds easy. Not really. See i'm still hip. I know what tbh is! This i...

A Rainey Kind of Day: December 2012
http://raineykindofday.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
A Rainey Kind of Day. Friday, December 21, 2012. We Really Have No Idea! Events from last week's shootings in Newtown, CT have given people all across America and the world lots to think and talk about. I am no exception. But, perhaps my thoughts might be a tad different from some. Have you seen the article on the web, titled "I am Adam Lanza's mom". If you haven't, google it. This mom does a great job of explaining what parents of kids with mental illness go thru, let alone the children. Aft...He's righ...

A Rainey Kind of Day
http://raineykindofday.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-dad.html
A Rainey Kind of Day. Thursday, July 19, 2012. He's more than ready. He's been ready since Sept. 27, 2010, the day my mom passed away. All he ever wanted was to be with my mom. and for them to be happy. That happiness eluded my mom, consequently leaving my dad in the same position. He'll get his wish very soon. Not a whole lot. Now it's Depends, smoothies because it hurts for him to swallow food, bed changes and morphine drops. I don't know how much time he has left. Days. A week or two. Love you, Dad!

Wednesday, July 30, 2008. On Cale's birthday we got our new boat. Well actually 1/2 of a boat, the other 1/2 belongs to Brad and Sheila. I don't know too much about it other than the fact that my husband is giddy as a school girl in love with this thing. Oh sure not as much as he loves me but hey who could? At 7/30/2008 12:43:00 AM. My baby is 4. The dreaded CAREBEAR cake. The brothers having fun at Chuck E. Cheese. Chuck E. Cheeses where a Dad can be a Kid. Where does the time go? Earlier this month we ...
