Welcome

This blog is first and foremost for me...
(I'm a Mom, there's not a lot in my life that's just for me anymore!). I also wanted to create a healthier way to share and vent my feelings about being physically limited... the other option was to scream and curse a lot, not so productive or healthy :o)


Second, I wanted to create a blog that other disabled and/or physically challenged parents could check out from time to time. Being a parent is extremely rewarding, but it's also a really tough job. Add pain and not-so-functional body parts and calling it a challenge doesn't even come close.

Thank you for reading.
I hope you find something helpful here. Sometimes it's nice just to know there are others out there, floating in the same waters, keeping a leaky boat afloat...

olympic shaving

Back in the day (a few years ago) shaving my legs wasn't an olympic event. Not anymore! Now, I have to give myself a pep talk and gather my strength to hoist my leg up onto the shelf in my shower so I can reach down to shave it. It's really freakin hot here, over a 100 degrees most of the summer. Pants are not an option in this weather and my husband's not really one for the "granola-european unshaven look". So at least twice a week I muster my energy, take some ibuprofen and shave that ugly stubble. I'm definitely asking Santa for laser hair removal for Christmas this year!
