Mommy Writer: ADHD in the House
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2015/04/adhd-in-house.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. ADHD in the House. When I graduated from college and moved to Atlanta, I got a job at a school that specialized in individualized education for students with ADD/ADHD. From the get-go, it felt pre-destined. I've never worked anywhere that felt quite so much like where I was meant to be. (Although where I work now for sure comes close.). I'm a believer that everything, or at least the big stuff, happens for a reason. And I'm discovering the reason for my teaching experience.

Mommy Writer: October 2014
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Forty eight years ago today, a 23 year old man and a 21 year old woman got married. They went on to have five children and a marriage full of ups, downs, and an abundance of love. From a pretty early age, I dreamed of finding a man who would look at me the way my Dad looked at my Mom. Through their entire forty seven year marriage, he would look at her, and then look at you, like, "Seriously, though, can you believe I landed her? Over the past year, as she's mourned him, I've...

Mommy Writer: March 2015
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. It's been a year and a half since my Dad died. These days, I go whole stretches when I feel pretty ok about the whole thing. Of course I miss him. I'll always miss him. But the grief doesn't feel quite so raw, and I go stretches of time when I feel like it's all relatively ok. And then. In these moments, it just hits me all over again, that I can't go to see him, get one of his renowned hugs, hear his voice somewhere other than inside my own head. Monday, March 2, 2015. So, the fa...

Mommy Writer: Fear and Friendship
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2015/06/fear-and-friendship.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2015. After a pretty decent hiatus, my anxiety has been back lately. The good news about that is that I think the hiatus can be mainly credited to regular acupuncture, which I've had to miss the last few weeks due to scheduling craziness. So, acupuncture seems to be helping my anxiety a lot. Which, yay. Amazing. They're far from perfect, mind you, but their perfect in their lack of perfection. I was B's age when we became best friends. Seven. At seven, we chose each other....Well When...

Mommy Writer: November 2014
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 6, 2014. A Room of One's Own. I wrote my thesis in that room. I wrote prolific, if not very good, poetry. I read more books than I could count. Books that changed my life. And through much of it, I listened to the advance copy of Ani DiFranco's Little Plastic Castle. What got me thinking about all of this? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mommy Writer: May 2014
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2014. I miss my Dad all the time. All the time. But there are times when his absence feels particularly sharp. Today is one of those days. There were two things going on today that I could really have benefitted from discussing with him. And while I know he's watching over me, and while I do communicate with him, after a fashion, a nice, old-fashioned phone chat would've been super reassuring. How do I communicate with him? Well, let's see. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mommy Writer: August 2015
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. I'm grateful that I had such an amazing father in the first place. Not everyone does. And I did. How lucky. He was awesome and funny and kind and loving and myriad other things. He offered guidance and support and was the best cheerleader any of his five kids could've asked for. He was literally Santa Claus. We were really lucky. So, yea. In short, two years later, life still sucks more without him than it did with him. But I'm also just so damn grateful for the life I hav...

Mommy Writer: July 2014
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. But that fear of too much good persists. When Tiny E was born, the joy of TWO beautiful babies was so unbearable that I was convinced I didn't deserve it, and that something would shatter it. I was suffocating on terror, as is pretty well documented in this space. So, maybe that's why I'm so terrified these days. We are finally planning a move into a home in the town we've wanted to move to for years, and I finally have a job I really care about. Soon, it'll be a year that my Dad'...

Mommy Writer: Stuff
http://lwa-mommywriter.blogspot.com/2015/05/stuff.html
Monday, May 18, 2015. It's been an insanely busy spring around here. This weekend, E1 graduated from Babson with an MBA. I'm so unbelievably proud of him. He worked his butt off to go to school while working full time and being a present husband and father. He's amazing, you guys. We've been dealing with the official ADHD diagnosis for B, and what that means. There is a lot to it, and it's hard, but it's not really a surprise, and I think knowing what we're dealing with is a sizable part of the battle.
