Yesterday was a terrible day, and it smacked me right in the face when I wasn’t expecting it. I was a school nurse on a trip, and on the bus ride home I decided to check social media. There it was, staring back at me: a friend reported they were doing CPR on his son. […]
So Harry is sick again. I feel like he just got over his last cold and was back to normal, but here we are again. Being a first time mom is challenging, but compound that with a special needs child and sometimes I feel so lost. Harry was last sick in January; it lasted only a […]
What did I do?? I had a couple of posts that I wrote about my awesome life, awesome new job, awesome prospect of a service dog for Harry, then it all came crumbling down! Don’t get me wrong, friends, life is good, but I jinxed myself a little and pieces have been falling in December […]
Even though we are in the middle of finding a company to train it, we are set on getting Harry a service dog. Any way we look at it, it will cost some money to train the dog, so we have a lot of work ahead. We’ve officially started our fundraising efforts to get Harry […]
Oye. What a week so far. I started on a high note, and it sort of went downhill from there. Add in getting sick, topped with preparations for our vacation on Sunday, and I am absolutely fried. I had to go in to school for a little on Wednesday while running a fever because some […]
Saturday was Halloween, and as my son is three years old this year, this was a good year where he actually understood what was going on. Weeks ago, I asked him what he wanted to dress up as but he couldn’t decide. I made an executive decision and got him the costume I really wanted […]
I AM A MARATHONER. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be able to say that I ran a marathon. I am part of 1% of the population. If you put your mind to it, you can do anything. Crazy! Here’s the best I can do with a recap. For those of you […]
On Sunday, my gym held a Punch-A-Thon for Harry’s Heroes, and I had such a great time! I have been a member at CKO Jackson for almost two years now, and have acquired a family from there. Many of you may remember that this gym came at a pivotal moment for me. I joined just […]
I can’t believe this day is finally here!! I have been dreading the first day of school for quite some time, and it really snuck up on me. Of course I couldn’t sleep the night before, then in the morning instead of pressing snooze I turned my alarm off, so we had to hustle a […]
This past week, Harry’s Heroes held a fundraiser at Orange Theory Fitness in Marlboro, New Jersey. One of our founding members, Liz, works out there and just loves the gym, so it was fitting to try and get their support. What started with her simply asking if they would be interested in helping us out, […]
