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! Let's talk and learn how a blog can expand your business.

Ice

 After several years of being completely unimpaired by the decisions, yesterday Scott and I were glued to our devices waiting to learn if the school system would delay or close due to the anticipated weather. To our collective delight, a 2 hour delay was issued early enough in the evening for us to stay up later and turn off the alarm. Thankfully it appears that the freezing rain is already melting away, so hopefully we will just be dealing with wet roads by the time schools open up.

I love my job, but I am not looking forward to performing my job during inclement weather. I abhor ice, but I know that navigating slippery sidewalks and stairs is part of the gig. I'm sure I'll figure it out, but I do miss my work from home attitude during winter storms. 

 Of course, it would probably be easier if I was transparent about my ice and snow walking worries. At this point, I've been working for nearly three months and, so far, none of my coworkers know that I'm an amputee. After living my life so publicly, it is oddly empowering to completely and totally blend in with everybody else. 

Start baking your cupcakes today. Tomorrow is International Day of Persons with Disabilities!
