2. I always heard that 3 was the new 2, I have no idea what everyone was talking about.
3. I think our handicap pass is a perk, tempted to use it when Avi is not in the car...BUT NEVER WOULD!!
4. I sometimes find it hard to go to parties, but force myself because I know it's best for all of us.
5. I feel pangs of sadness on a daily basis for the mom I was prior to the accident.
6. I won't allow myself, but for the first time in my life, I can fully understand how someone would turn to drugs or alcohol to numb the unrelenting pain from within.
7. I learned to be careful for what you wish for. I always wanted a baby that I could hold and love and now I have just that.
8. I always wanted to live "in the moment" and now am forced to. It is not at all over rated.
9. I wish I had a child who talked back to me.
10. I can't return phone calls, e-mails, etc. as quickly as I used to. It drives me insane!!
11. I don't have enough time to follow all of the blogs I wish to.
12. I want my friends to still come to me with their problems. I don't want them to think, that I think, that they think, that I think, they are trivial or unimportant. That was fun.
13. I think that pain is pain and don't like to get in the comparison game of who has more.
14. I have become a complete recluse because of the accident and therapy.
15. My new social life consists of my blog, doctors appointments, Facebook (holy crap, did I just say that?!) and a few face to face encounters with family and friends. Yep, it's a fact.
16. Asking for help is one of my biggest challenges to overcome. In now having to, I have been pushed so far out of my comfort zone. Thank you to everyone who helps us, especially my "patterning peeps!" You know who you are :o)
17. I wear the same outfit two days in a row, as it is one less thing to think about.
18. I think I have been amazingly lucky in life, but realize in the kid arena.....not so much! I have stumbled every single step of the way.
19. The way this blog formats itself drives me to want to gouge my eyes out with forks!!!
20. I don't want friends and family to feel funny or awkward around us.
21. This blog was and is the most unexpected blessing. No matter how overwhelmed, I do my best to take time out to write. It is as though I have found a hidden treasure buried under a rock. I have found this to be my favorite kind of therapy. I am so thankful for this little spot and all of you who care enough to read about our families journey!
