Mommy Day 2014

July 21, 2014

At the risk of sounding like a complete ass, I will demonstrate this day with two perspectives (this also shows that I DO in fact know how the others involved see the events- I just don't get how these events were allowed to go on...) I don't really recall Mother's Day 2013. I am sure I could go back and read about it, I do recall getting flowers (EXACT same ones as the in-law << Big NO-NO) , but I know the day wasn't anything special- enough that the husband even noted this year that he knew he had been slacking. (Expectant) Mother's Day 2012- I had date day with my dad and Uncle T sent me flowers from his stint in the Marines. The response from the husband, "well you aren't a mom yet so why would I do anything for Mother's Day? " So we can all see that this day had a reputation already, and it wasn't the Hallmark commercial one... 7:00am- ZZZZZZ "ATTENTION FIRE DEPARTMENT!!!!!" yes that was my wake-up call. Out the door th...

The results... Part I

October 23, 2014

So our big adventure is over, and yet it has really opened up another big chapter of unknowns! We discovered that Caden does in fact have a Posterior Cleft, a slight one, and he had the gel film injection and we stayed over night after his scope. Everything went well and after a cranky awakening from anesthesia he inhaled (and that isn't even he correct term) noodles and ice cream and enjoyed the play room on the children's floor. The amount of questions I have are enough to fill several volumes of encyclopedias, I may be dating myself there as generations these days have no idea what I am referring to! But here is what I DO know: - The cleft is rare, as I said before 1 in 10-20,000 kids are estimated to have it and boys tend to show more than girls at a ratio of 5:3 - There is very little research that I can find, and the research I CAN find is medical journals that were forged in the cold, dark depths of Hell where the Spice Girls wrote their most famous ballads and t...

A New Year

January 02, 2014

Wow, it has been almost two years that I have been spilling my frustrations and overfill into this piddly little vent-hole blog, and nearing 3,000 views- all of my one follower must have a sore finger from clicking that much! I am not one for New Years resolutions, they are a good idea, and they end at that. Lose weight, be more positive, eat better, spend more time with family- yadda yadda. I suppose that this year, if I were to resolve, it would be to be selfish. I am going to focus on myself and be happy. This is going to be a painful and hard path to begin, and I know even the middle will hurt, and the end will still have some thorns and splinters I am sure- but I have to do it, I need to make a change for me. When I started posting, it was to follow my adventures through pregnancy and motherhood, to vent about what I was going through. I used this as a tool to keep in tough with family that couldn't be here to witness all the good and not so good moments themselves (Uncle ...
