  • Once again, adjustments . . .

    Okey Dokey. After the trauma of the last post, things have looked up a bit. We have had a shift not only in our behaviors, but Dustin's as well. He is significantly trying. It is obvious.

    We have tried really hard to turn this last runaway incident around and [...]

  • Happy f&#(*@ng birthday to me. . .

    Okay, so I am pushing 40, officially 39 today. I am feeling terribly sorry for myself. Not about the age, I couldn't care less how old I am, but right now my life seems to be spiraling out of control.

    Robert is down for the count. He has necrosis' [...]

  • Busy and productive day . . .

    This morning I woke up and decided I needed to be creative. I recently received my free quart of paint from Glidden. My brother and my neighbor so graciously gave me their quarts that were ordered by yours truly and sent to their addresses randomly showed up at their houses [...]

  • Fine tuning . . .

    Okay, well some changes made to help with the food issues helped but mostly a change in my attitude. I have decided not to stress about it and go with the flow. I suck really bad at that mostly. I went to the grocery last night when the kids were [...]

  • Maybe I am extra sensitive right now . . .

    MRI update first, I am by no means a radiologist, but I took a peek and the MRI films that they gave us to take to the doctor and Robert's left hip looks strangely like the right one did on the MRI from February. If I was a betting woman [...]

  • Dustin, o Dustin . . .

    Holy mercy. He is driving me bonkers. I am thrilled that he is going to special needs VBS 4 nights this week, but a change in schedule and an exciting one makes for a nutty boy! Don't get me wrong, I LURVE the fact that he is enjoying himself for' [...]

  • Is this week almost over ? . . .

    It's only Tuesday? Ugh. I have been avoiding posting about Robert's issues because I figure if I type them out, they may actually be real. Remember back in January when Robert had issues with his hip? He had transient osteoporosis and it cleared up with 6 weeks of total bed [...]

    Harrison and Robert got up nice and early this morning for a visit to Lowes for a kid workshop. He made a little treasure chest and enjoyed every minute of it. They are headed back in 2 weeks for another [...]

    There is a city pool right near my house that offers a free swim for special needs kids each week. On Monday evenings we get to swim for free with other families of special needs kids. It is fabulous for us because there are only about dozen people there so [...]

    Okay, every time I post one of these people always ask how I did it. I have NO IDEA. The hubby is the producer and the videographer and the special effects manager . . . .

    So very easy, and could be boring, but you can do some really interesting and fabulous combos if you just think outside of the box.

    I hadn't made covered pretzels in years. I was in the grocery and found these adorable honey wheat mini pretzel twist rods. I thought' [...]

    Let's just say I know this family. This family is receiving government assistance for a variety of things. That in itself I have no issue with. I would not even have an issue if in fact this family happened to be new to this country. I might even know that' [...]

    There are times I am at awe over "my friends" and their ability to share pieces of themselves and their insights all over this blogosphere. There are times I feel so honored to be a part of people's lives that I can't hardly stand it. There are also those times' [...]

    So, as far as my ablation goes. . . it is heavenly! I have had no pain, no spotting, no discharge (lord, I hate that word). I would do it 100 times over! If you have been offered this procedure, RUN to your nearest GYN and schedule it now! If [...]
