Lately some of my conversations with Tyler have resembled that famous Abbott and Costello routine Who’s on First?
This usually will go on doing dinner.
Tyler: Is this (taco) mine?
Me: Yes, honey it’s yours.
Tyler: No, it’s mines!
Me: Yes, it is yours.
Tyler: You said it is mines!
Me: Honey, when I say that something is for you I say that it is YOURS. When YOU want to talk about it YOU say that it is MINE.
Tyler: (tearful) Is this mines?
Me: Yes! Yes! Yes!
Someday he’ll get it. Right now I will just try to keep from pulling out my hair and thinking how cute it is.

About mamasick
Emily Cullen is a pen-name.
I suffer from chronic illnesses and diseases which include Bipolar Disorder, Asthma, Diabetes and Fibromyalgia. I had battled Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis but there is no longer evidence of me having these diseases and my Rheumatologist has declared them to be "burnt out" of my system.
I am separated from my husband, “Grant”. Our son, “Tyler” was born in September of 2006 and suffers from tics and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and is delayed in fine and gross motor skills.
In my blog I seek to let sick moms know that they are not the only ones going through this, and to educate people about what can happens when one becomes catastrophically ill. I also strive to break down stereotypes of what a “Welfare Mom” is like. Anything that I have gone through due to being sick, is written on the pages of Mama Sick.
