Hovering at the Brink of Insanity: Well - That Was Awkward
http://hovering-at-the-brink.blogspot.com/2015/04/well-that-was-awkward.html
Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. Apr 27, 2015. Well - That Was Awkward. Let me preface this by saying - I am not humble bragging. Like I've said before, I write to get things out of my head. What happened on Saturday has been keeping me up nights and I figure once I get it out - it will go away. J. I don't know what made me think going back to college was a good idea, especially since I was in the midst of the biggest crisis I've ever experienced. But. I did. And still managed to make the honors list t...

Hovering at the Brink of Insanity: June 2014
http://hovering-at-the-brink.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. Jun 1, 2014. Dear Parent or Guardian. You know those really organized Moms who keep track of all their kids extracurricular activities, remember when the class snack day is, know when the field trips are (and where they are going), and just generally have it goin’ on? Yeah - I’m not one of those Moms. I’m THAT Mom. At 8 o’clock this evening, I’m sorting through my stacks of school mail, my letters from the college, my work stuff, and all Claire’s medic...As I’m sh...

Hovering at the Brink of Insanity: March 2015
http://hovering-at-the-brink.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. Mar 19, 2015. Most of my meaningful conversations with my children occur when we are driving from one place to another. It could be as short as a drive home from school, or as long as a trip to the hospital(s). No topic is off limits. No question is avoided. Whatever they ask, I answer, to the best of my ability. We talked about a bunch of different topics for the first part of the trip. She wanted to know why Kurt Cobain killed himself. She's recently discovere...When ...

Hovering at the Brink of Insanity: Worst Case Scenario
http://hovering-at-the-brink.blogspot.com/2012/11/worst-case-scenario.html
Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. Nov 13, 2012. A friend of mine recently wrote, "Sometimes I think that we should have a special warning system. For bad news when it comes. A different ring tone, a blinking light - something that says take a breath before you pick up the phone. Sit down before you speak a hello.". So, obviously (to me) everything was NOT okay, and that's why there were calling me in. Peter and I were sitting in the office, looking at this photograph of a group of what must be the uglie...

Hovering at the Brink of Insanity: August 2015
http://hovering-at-the-brink.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. Aug 6, 2015. There is no God in this. The text came through at 10:10 this morning. One line:. 8220;The judge decided to send the kids back”. I read the notification in disbelief. Clicked through to open the message itself and stared at it, dumbfounded. What. The. Fuck. The children the program is tasked with protecting have no voice. I can’t. I won’t. This is wrong. This happens, over and over again, and it’s WRONG. And when this child ends his life when he is turned ov...

Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. Jul 21, 2014. Where is Sarah McLachlan When You Need Her? UPDATE: I received pictures of this poor baby. The quality is blurry because the photographer was a little afraid of getting caught trespassing. I was told the dog is tied to the pipe, with no food, or water beyond what concerned citizens bring to it. This post isn’t about me (shocking! Every day my friend stops to make sure this little guy has food and water. She’s talked to the so-called owner of this...My frie...

Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. May 26, 2014. At the doctor - Chillin' like a villain. I stomp around the house. I shout. I hate everyone. Then I look into the faces of my kids and I realize, I can’t do this. I have to pull myself together and deal. Because if I don’t - how can they? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). It happened today. Today was the day I had to tell my children that one of their peers, a boy they knew from acting class, liked, and cons. An Ode to All the Nurses. My mom is in the hospital&...

Hovering at the Brink of Insanity: January 2015
http://hovering-at-the-brink.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Hovering at the Brink of Insanity. Jan 28, 2015. A few days ago there was an article shared in one of my Moyamoya groups about a little boy in Australia who was going to meet his hero, Johnny Depp. He'd shared a picture of himself on Facebook and it went around the world and got in front of the right people and - ahh the wonders of social media - Captain Jack was going to see him. Which got me thinking. Nk Oh, and go to Paris! Nk got pushed to the side. Until today. So, here's my open letter to P! She lo...
