I’ve been blogging in this space — first Organizing Your Way and then Life…Your Way — for over three years now, and there are some great posts in the archives that don’t get much attention anymore. This week, I’ll be sharing some of my favorites. Whether you’ve been around since the beginning or are a new reader, I think you’ll enjoy them!
December of 2008 was one of the hardest months of my life. The end of the month found me curled up on the couch on Christmas day, emotionally and physically exhausted in the wake of three weeks of the stomach flu (including an ER trip for Sean), the death of a family friend and then Sean’s grandmother, my third miscarriage and this crazy scary experience with our third daughter.
Reading these words I wrote just after she was diagnosed with ITP brings all of the emotions I experienced flooding back, and I’m sure I will carry those with me for the rest of my life!
Yesterday morning, we spent several hours at Children’s Hospital in D.C. after what has been a stressful and scary 48 hours or so before that.
Let me start at the beginning.
Last Wednesday, Sweet Doodle (15 months old) conked her cheekbone on the picnic table bench in our kitchen. As you can imagine, she got a pretty good shiner, but I thought that was the extent of it.
