Parenting one healthy child and one sick, each day looms like an emotional obstacle course. And yet I have extraordinary expectations for myself, like I need to be actively happy and serene and grateful, and I have to mean it more than anyone else.
This afternoon, without the nap I hoped for and without even trying, I was and I did.

Also, if you are not a dog person, it may appear that Colby is sharing too much tongue.  He is always happy, but not so much serene.

  1. Jenni Baby,
    You "juggle" your life better than any mom I know. Ask Colby.

    P.S. Grandma Sandy DID take a nap yesterday. While she was sleeping, I gave her a "surprise haircut". She was surprised.

    You are a wonderful mother, caregiver, supporter, nurturer, and person. Your strength is only surpassed by the capacity of love you possess!
