Over time, my students just stopped being there. Destination: anywhere but school. And for those about to graduate, to move onto another school, they are already dreaming of the people they’ll be. Elementary kids on the cusp of graduation imagine being middle schoolers. In other words, they are aspiring to be awful.

Deedee’s cancer is back | Smiles and Trials
https://1baby1dog.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/deedees-cancer-is-back
A Blogumentary Of A Blind Single Mom: Daily Life With My Son And My Guide Dog. Deedee’s cancer is back. It looks like the end is nearer than I thought. Last week, I noticed the lump growing again on Deedee’s side. The last day she worked was the 22nd. We were headed to the school for parent teacher, and I jostled her side with my knee. She yelped, and when I gently touched her side to investigate, it was obvious she was in pain. Corbin is handling this all very well. He cried for a few minutes when I...

A Blogumentary Of A Blind Single Mom: Daily Life With My Son And My Guide Dog. An Update on Deedee. When i posted last June on mine and Deedee’s fifth anniversary, she wasn’t doing so hot. She was exhibiting certain behaviors during guide work, most notably her tendency to veer, that had me quite concerned. i thought she might have to retire, and both Corbin and I were distressed by this prospect.

Corbin’s first fish. | Smiles and Trials
https://1baby1dog.wordpress.com/2012/05/29/corbins-first-fish
A Blogumentary Of A Blind Single Mom: Daily Life With My Son And My Guide Dog. Corbin’s first fish. Here’s Corbin with the first fish he caught last Sunday. It’s frozen and headless which is how he brought it home to me. Good thing too, because I have no idea how to clean a fish. I don’t think he was too impressed with the fish flopping around, though I suppose he’ll get used to it in time. He enjoyed playing with the worms and watching his auntie and uncle fish.

Corbin and I live in an apartment building in a neighborhood with a very questionable reputation. i’ve never had any problems, but I pretty much keep to myself. okay, I *really* keep to myself. I’ve never been the outgoing type. I feel bad for Corbin, because we hardly do anything on the weekends, and i think it must be boring for him. Laquo; Embracing The Challenges Of Guide Work.

Why Don’t You Smile? | Smiles and Trials
https://1baby1dog.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/why-dont-you-smile
A Blogumentary Of A Blind Single Mom: Daily Life With My Son And My Guide Dog. Why Don’t You Smile? When I was 13, one of my classmates remarked that I never smiled. I was stung, though i don’t think she meant it as an insult. i just hadn’t thought about it before. Being blind from infancy, I don’t even know what a smile looks like, and can’t take my cues from watching other peoples’ facial expressions. Laquo; Five Years Today. An Update on Deedee.
