Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Laundry Overload!

Today has been interesting. The moment conference started, Devin threw up. And she's been throwing up just about every hour since, in between nibbling on crackers and drinking some water.

Darin has started framing the basement today, so I've spent the day running down to the basement to see his progress and chat with him, then running upstairs to a screaming kid, "Mom!" Devin decided she was more comfortable on my bed, plus there is a TV in there, so that's where she's been for much of the day.

During all of this, I've been putting new loads of laundry in to wash. The thought occurred to me, "Poor Darin's mom. She had so many kids, the laundry must have been unending!"
