Spirited Blessings: August 2009
http://mom2spiritedboys.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2009. A Home Run Day! And all the noise. On the way over J expressed an intense wish he had - that we would do the wave. He got his wish! C wanted to catch a fly ball - one came very close but no luck today. He handled the disappointment like a champ (NEVER would have been able to say that a year or two ago). All in all an awesome day to round out an amazing week for our family. Links to this post. Friday, August 07, 2009. Links to this post. Wednesday, August 05, 2009. A Home Run Day!

Spirited Blessings: Celebrating the "lasts"
http://mom2spiritedboys.blogspot.com/2011/12/celebrating-lasts.html
Friday, December 02, 2011. Many times we celebrate the "firsts" in life (first tooth, first steps, first day of school) and we let the "lasts" slip through our hands and memories. Probably because at that moment we have no idea it will be the last time, there is no memo, no handbook that says "WARNING - LAST TIME HE WILL HOLD YOUR HAND IN PUBLIC". My youngest, J, is very aware and although he is very affectionate at home he long ago stopped letting me hug and kiss him in front of the school. Learn about ...

Spirited Blessings: Therefore I Share
http://mom2spiritedboys.blogspot.com/2011/12/therefore-i-share.html
Thursday, December 08, 2011. Mental Illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It is not the fault of the person dealing with it. It is hard for all involved. The individual, family, friends . . . Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. How many times have I said that in real life, on Facebook, on my blog? Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. I suffer from depression and anxiety. It's been mostly under control for many years now but you can read a little about previous times I was struggling here.

Spirited Blessings: August 2011
http://mom2spiritedboys.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Our Magical Summer - Wordless Wednesday. Links to this post. Saturday, August 27, 2011. It is the 27th AGAIN! I really didn't think I would have it in me to get to my post for Hopeful Parents. It's summer and things are of course hectic and overwhelming. But this year there are more laughing fits than crying fits. More meeting up with friends than cancelling plans. More crossing off the "to do" list than ever before. I was able to make my Hopeful Parents post. One man is dead ...

Spirited Blessings: Longing
http://mom2spiritedboys.blogspot.com/2010/08/longing.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Driving down the street I almost pass by the boys on their bikes without a second glance. But I notice them - goofing off, treats from the store in one hand, pretending to run each other off the sidewalk. Their tanned skin and bruised legs tell stories about their adventurous summer. I glance at my son who is sitting in the passenger seat beside me. Has he noticed them? Does he long to be free like they are? Stuff my son cant do because he cant handle it. And its not fair.

Spirited Blessings: World Suicide Prevention Day
http://mom2spiritedboys.blogspot.com/2010/09/world-suicide-prevention-day.html
Friday, September 10, 2010. World Suicide Prevention Day. Tuesday December 11th, 1990. Right now I am sitting in front of my locker and no one knows what I have done. I'm scared. Scared that everyone will hate me and no one will understand what I've just done. Scared to live though. I really am. I honestly can't see a future. I want someone to help me, to take away the hurt and make me happy but no one can. Please forgive me for I am so sorry. Http:/ www.iasp.info/index.php. View my complete profile.

Spirited Blessings: November 2011
http://mom2spiritedboys.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2011. Injustices and being complicit. I often work hard to make sure I don't waste time on guilt . . . I lump it with regret, a natural human emotion but not very helpful or productive. I prefer to try to be forward thinking, spending my limited resources on finding solutions and making change for the better instead. I grapple with what I will do. Do I go forward with our own story of the other agency, who from the description of the agency in the paper is doing even WORSE things?
