Reaching Out

March 22, 2019March 22, 2019 CrankygiraffeLeave a comment

Jenny Lawson, AKA The Bloggess, shared a post yesterday about how grateful she is that her followers sent her so much love and support at a time when she really needed it. If that's not awesome enough, her post encourages her readers to reach out to each other through her blog by either sending or… Continue reading Reaching Out

Assessment Continued

May 21, 2015May 21, 2015 Crankygiraffe2 Comments

We are here at day #2 of the Autism Assessment. I am feeling a heightened sense of stress and anxiety as I worry that A. won't get his ASD diagnosis. Each therapist keeps talking about how they can "recommend" services for us to help A. with his many challenges.  Services are great... If you're a… Continue reading Assessment Continued

Quick Goals Update

May 5, 2015May 5, 2015 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

I'm going to do this month's goals update a little differently - mostly for the sake of time and brevity.  My goals can be broadly categorized into Physical Wellbeing, Emotional/psychological Wellbeing, and Other (I guess).  I'll still use the same colour coding as before, but I'll just give a brief update for each category: Physical… Continue reading Quick Goals Update

April Showers…

April 21, 2015 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

What's that saying again? "April Showers Bring May Flowers?" I've been absent from the blogging world again lately, and mostly all because of these "April Showers." Quite literally, this past weekend was my sister's bridal shower, which I have been working at frantically over the past few weeks to get organized.  Of course, it was… Continue reading April Showers…

Expensive Therapy

March 12, 2015 Crankygiraffe13 Comments

Yesterday I did some therapeutic shopping. Not only did I spent a lot of money, but I spent it on stuff that I really didn't need. That's not to say that I won't use it... I just don't need it. I primarily bought workout clothes: a wind breaker, long sleeved running shirts, capri pants, sweaters, and… Continue reading Expensive Therapy

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
