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.

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day. It started Saturday. While I was a the Stake Women's Conference, Darin and the girls took my car to get the oil changed, and then washed it inside and out. (I won't tell them that it smells like spoiled milk now. Not sure what they used to clean it)

Then I walked in the house to find some beautiful flowers on the counter. Jadyn also brought me a really cute craft project where she had traced her hands to create leaves to glue on a tree trunk. Each leave had something that I do for the kids on it. I loved it. We often don't feel appreciated, but then things like that realize that the things we do maybe don't go unnoticed.

Then, on Sunday, they (Darin) made some hamburgers and potato salad (Ok, so I had to take over with the potato salad towards the end), and we had a picnic outside. After a walk around the block, it was finally time to get the kids to bed.

One of the best Mother's Days ever!
