Disability caregiver care

Friday, November 7th, 2008 | Caregivers and providers

My intention with this blog is to be as consistent as possible with my writing. My plan has been to write at least three times a week, preferably on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays. However, I missed yesterday and I have such a lame excuse…it was the first day of the Nordstroms Half-Yearly Sale. Yep…I am that shallow. I have been a die-hard Nordstroms shopper since I was old enough to shop. This year, with a tough economy and a much tighter budget, I am happy to report that I didn’t spend much. But, it’s just the pure pleasure of walking around, checking out beautiful new clothes, smelling new fragrances and touching the leather of the new purses that makes me happy. I am actually a fairly economical woman, with most of my purchases coming from Target, Costco, and Wal-Mart but deep down this Alaskan chick appreciates the finer things in life. Rubysoup is about my experiences raising Quincy, but it is about me, too. Maybe if I share little pieces of me from time to time then my readers will feel like they know me…maybe can even relate to me a little better. Because, although my life is exceptionally different from most because of all the responsibility and challenges that I face with Quincy, there is a lot about my life that’s quite regular. Tomorrow I will get back to my mission of sharing my knowledge about disabilities with you…but today was my escape and we all need to escape every now and then so we can appreciate all that we have. So, splurge on a pair of shoes, buy a mocha and or sing at the top of your lungs when you are alone in your car…it will make all the diaper changes, medical bills and health issues seem just a little less easier to handle.
