Introductions

Although I believe my first blog has done more to introduce my mindset, here is some important stuff you should probably know about me.

It took my forever to embrace the realm of blogging and am still quite leery of my forays. I hate to put too much of myself and my family out there. But, as the disabled mom of a inquisitive four year old and wife to a stressed out nuclear engineer, I feel that our situation provides unique perspectives. And whose lives don't?  I want others in a similar position to be able to look at our challenges and breath a sigh of relief.

Today, I am a stay-at-home mom to my daughter, Maia. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and was recently diagnosed with Lupus. At times, I become crestfallen by my trials and tribulations, but- I like to think, that I mostly just laugh it off.  I am a firm believer in laughing at one's self.And I often give myself cause to.

Maia is a mini-me: stubborn and inquisitive. Like most moms, I marvel everyday at her achievements and I appreciate the blind eye she has turned to any faults I may have. Truly, this little girl has become my crutch.
