We just got back from a fun-filled weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio at the 2016 Angelman Walk!! The Walk is a way to support all Angel's and the Foundation's research for a cure for Angelman Syndrome.
That night as I was walking down our loft steps, I slipped... didn't catch myself in time, and fell down the steps. When I did, my foot (with the help of body weight and gravity) smashed into a trim board that runs up the wall! I continued down the steps and hit my foot again on the stove at the bottom of the stairway. Before you ask yourself why our stove is at the bottom of the stairway, remember we live in a tiny house. I landed on all fours after the final foot smashing. Grimacing in pain, I hear THUMP THUMP THUMP, I don't think Jon ever made it across our loft that fast before!
When we talk about adventures, we often think of going to some majestic mountain-top cabin, or an exotic island.
I'm not sure about you, but this summer has been different for me. There have been years where the school was let out and it hit me like a ton of bricks! I do home school our girls, but Sky attends a school designed to serve special needs children. Adding a third child, all day every day, and adding the special attention he needs totally changes the dynamic of the day. I'm not complaining, just being transparent. It can be crazy hard at times! However, this summer, there was an excitement in the air. I honestly could not wait until Sky was out of school, and to no longer be confined to school schedules and bus pick-up and drop-offs.
Traveling to the grocery store with any children, in general, can be like a scene from the movie Braveheart... As you drive to the store, you're already mentally preparing yourself for what will or could unfold once arriving. That is, assuming the ride to the grocery was peaceful and filled with the sound of Veggie Tales, Paw Patrol, or something like that, and not a melt down. You find a parking space after driving up and down every isle to find the spot closest to the door, AND right beside a cart holder thingy (or whatever those are called). Inhale, exhale. Turn around and give the speech that will set the tone for the next 1-2 hours.
Another shuffle at the check out line, and more persuasive talk about the random toys long forgotten about in aisle 8, but is now the center of their world! You quickly put them on a nearby shelf and hustle the groceries out of the cart before a mysterious item finds it's way on the conveyor belt (happened to me more than once!).
Sleep plays a vital role in our short-term and long-term health. Our bodies rebel, in form of crankiness, pains, and aches, if we don’t get enough sleep. Lack of sleep also leads to compromised immune system and inability to focus among many other negative side effects.
