About Me

I am a below knee amputee. More importantly, I am also Mommy to two boys, a very active 10 year old (Robby) and an mischievous toddler (Timmy). I have learned that being a parent with a disability can create some unusual and sometimes humorous situations. This blogger is available for hire!

Flexy Weekend

I spent the majority of my weekend at flea markets, chatting up new friends and selling FlexyFriends. It was hotter than I anticipated, especially on Sunday, but it was still more comfortable than our weekend in Gettysburg. (That experience has become our family yardstick for misery.) I am glad that flea markets are primarily morning activities. I am required to wake early (again), but at least I am home by 2 to salvage the rest of the day.

On Saturday Robby went to sell with me, allowing Scott to sleep in with Timmy. I have to admit that it was really nice to spend some quality alone time with my Koopa. He is growing up so quickly and soon he will be leaving for college. I really want to focus on spending as much time as possible- or as much as he will tolerate- before he leaves. After spending a few hours selling, Robby and I packed up early and headed to his favorite restaurant (which happened to be very close by) for lunch. We probably could have made a little more money if we had stayed, but I was glad to pack up and retreat to the joys of air conditioning and milkshakes. 

Sunday was Scott's turn to rise early to sell with me. Robby stayed home to work on a school project and to take care of Timmy, allowing Scott and I the ability to just sell without worrying about the kids. Scott, who just realized the true cost of college, was not nearly as eager to pack up to leave for fear of missing a sale. 

Today everybody is returning to school. It will begin the second week, which means that everything should start to settle soon. I am craving normalcy right now!
