Thoughts on life with MS, bereavement and other things. June 17, 2015. June 17, 2015. Following on from the amazingly positive feedback I received from my first blog post, I am approaching my second attempt with some trepidation. It’s like that tricky second album after the debut one goes platinum! Just as I hadn’t anticipated retiring from work at 28, neither had I expected to become a widow at 39! My husband sadly died of a heart attack in September 2013 aged 51. I couldn’t make a decision. I ended up ...

A Story of the Ultimate Adventure: Adoption and Motherhood! Tag Archives: mama moments. Some Nights You Gotta Dance. Posted in Great Moments in Parenting. Mr E has always had a very reliable bedtime routine, since about six months old, and for this I am grateful. He embraces the routine and expects it, so putting him to bed is almost never a challenge. I’ve encountered one obstacle throughout the years regarding bedtime, and he goes by the name of Dada, aka, the Hubs. You come cuddle now! I’m a lit...

A Story of the Ultimate Adventure: Adoption and Motherhood! Being, Just to Be. You know what’s underrated? Carefree abandon. I hope all of you had at least one moment of carefree abandon today. I am becoming a big fan of moments infused with it. For me, that means making choices when my analyzer is switched off. Enjoying the moment, the activity, the decision; sometimes it’s very freeing to just be or just do and not always consider how it will impact anything else in my life. Yeah I know, probably not.

A Story of the Ultimate Adventure: Adoption and Motherhood! The hubs and I decide to pull the proverbial goalie and make a baby. Both sides of our family are obnoxiously fertile so it never occurs to us that we will not conceive right away. I visit my OB to make sure all my parts are in working order. She does a minimal exam with minimal tests and sends me off with the reassurance that everything is doing what it is supposed to do. (It’s not: see June 2014). Pregnancy test is POSITIVE! December 4, 2013:.
