Yes, I know this is where I’m supposed to write about writing and editing and stuff like that, but… if you haven’t noticed, I’m including a lot more life stuff. Trying to remember what goes on which blog is starting to make me crazy (er, crazi-er).
Anyway, I was over at Michele Lee’s blog this morning. I’ve been given a spark of inspiration from her post, as a supporting post, perhaps. See, Michele’s son is autistic. My oldest has cerebral palsy. Our children have disabilities, which they tackle head on and …

Care is home sick, we’re waiting to get the call to go into the clinic. This has got to stop – neither of us slept last night with her coughing and wheezing and wandering around. Well, I wouldn’t have slept either, but she’s 14. She needs sleep. But, as I wait, I began some research on quilts, and the interweb gave me a gift.

Now, after months and months of being relatively silent, now she goes “hey, let’s play!” There are days (HA nights, more like) I’d like to trap her, stick her in a cage and poke her with sharp sticks.

Shamelessly ganked from Bob Freeman’s blog at Myspace:

“Endorsed by Softball Canada” logo.
Not nearly as interesting as Bob’s, but probably just as odd. I suppose ya’ll didn’t think I had a Softball Canada rulebook within spittin’ distance.
