Learning from my parenting mistakes

I like to think that I'm always learning. I've talked about this incredible personal growth journey I've been on the last couple of years. I feel as though I've been learning so much about myself and who I really am. Maybe that sounds a bit weird but we fully embrace the weird in my house, so it's okay. While growing on a personal level, I'm discovering things that I like, dislike, or want to change about myself. This is true in various parts of my life, but for the purposes of this post, I'm going to be focusing on my parenting. Actually, I'm going to be talking about my parenting mistakes, one in particular that I'm currently working to address. For the last few years, my kids have basically owned…

I took on the topic of inequity today on the podcast

If you have followed me on social media or have known me in real life, especially over the last four or five years, you are aware that I've become somewhat of a social activist. I'm involved in some groups that fight to bring about desperately needed social change. I don't talk about these groups or who's in them but these are smaller groups so we all know each other, and there are some pretty famous and powerful people in these groups with me. I feel quite lucky to be asked to take part. One of the things that I have wanted to do for quite some time was have a conversation about inequality on the podcast. It was something that I didn't know how to approach. It's also something that's…

Parenting serves up an array of daily challenges for us all. However, parents of children on the spectrum - or who need extra support for other reasons - may encounter more than most. On a brighter note, though, help is available. But you must be the one to reach out for it. Image  - Pixabay CC0 License Here are some of the best outlets to look for that support.

On a side note

Okay. I've decided to try and send the boys to school in the morning. The school instituted a mandatory mask mandate last week so everyone will be masked. If they need to come home, they will be sent home. I don't know what else to do at this point. There's no fevers, just drainage which makes them cough. My day is fairly open so if I need to retrieve them, I can. I'll drop them off and then go workout. As long as I can squeeze that in, I'll be off to a good start. ☺ I mentioned I was feeling a bit out of sorts eariler. I'm feeling a good deal better now. I made productive use of my anxious energy this afternoon. I washed and put two coats…

Feeling a bit out of sorts lately

I've been feeling a bit disconnected lately and it's got me in kind of a weird headspace. The kids have been sick for a week, which is stressful enough because they've missed a lot of school as a result. As I'm writing this, I can hear them both coughing in the living room and they're supposed to returning to school in the morning. It's nothing more than a cold or sinus thing but I know I would be upset if my kids came home from school as we're drowning in new COVID cases, telling me that there was a kid in their class coughing and hacking up a lung all day. I would be livid that this child was allowed to return to school. Ohio is back up to over…
