Sassy Mom

My definition of Sassy: pert; boldly smart; nervy; saucy.

This is a new anonymous blog to replace a previous one that was not. I wrote about my children exclusively before. Medical stuff was a major category and not by choice. The first blog started out documenting some of our life, but our life quickly kept getting deeper and deeper into the medical world. That medical world included myself, but I left me out of it.

There are many problems with having a blog and having kids in public school. 1) They grow up. 2)They learn how to get on the Internet and read. 3) Their friends can find it and read it too. So, I made the old one private and plan to keep people posted about our lives via this one. The good, the bad and the ugly.

Why Sassy Mom? Because, quite simply,  I CAN become quite Sassy. Especially when it comes to advocating for my kids. I can be a fun Sassy or a pain in the butt Sassy. I prefer to be the fun Sassy, but will be a pain in your side until my children are taken care of. Or, if I am in an infrequent bad mood. Ironically, I have no ability to become Sassy when it comes to myself. I learned this the other day (once again) when I went to the MD and came away sobbing. This is something I need to work. Advocating for myself and taking better care of myself.

So here it goes: I do plan to write good things, but you will also hear about
Autism, Epilepsy, Type 1 Diabetes, G-tubes, DVT's, Pulmonary Embolism's, Back problems and everything else medical. God knows I have a lot on my plate. I hope he does not hand me anything else, but I am ready if he does.

Off to check a 3am blood sugar number and then to bed.
