I woke up and used my nebulizer because I couldn’t breathe. Finished my treatment and tried to go back to sleep but now I am having a panic attack. It has been a log time since I’ve had one. My heart is racing, my mind is racing and I can’t breathe (but it is not asthma related – definitely panic)
I just want this to be over, and to sleep…
Please continue to pray for Fred and his sister as they will have to make a decision in the days to come.
They were looking through Annabelle’s photos and some of her paperwork last night. Fred came across this poem clipped from a “Dear Abby Column”
by Alice E. Chase
My hands were busy through the day,
I didn’t have much time to play
The little games you asked me to,
I didn’t have much time for you.
I’d wash your clothes; I’d sew and cook,
But when you’d bring your picture book
And ask me, please, to share your fun,
I’d say, “A little later, son.”
I’d tuck you in all safe at night,
And hear your prayers, turn out the light,
Then tiptoe softly to the door,
I wish I’d stayed a minute more.
For life is short, and years rush past,
A little boy grows up so fast,
No longer is he at your side,
His precious secrets to confide.
The picture books are put away,
There are no children’s games to play,
No goodnight kiss, no prayers to hear,
That all belongs to yesteryear.
My hands once busy, now lie still,
The days are long and hard to fill,
I wish I might go back and do,
The little things you asked me to.
We will be leaving FL and headed to NYC in a few hours. We got a call that my MIL is in a coma.

| Sigh, I guess this is as good a time as any to begin a new weblog. Today at my job of six and a half years, my boss brought me outside and told me that Wednesday will be my last day. I have been looking for jobs for a while, but I haven’t found anything as of yet. It was like when I was 16 years old, I was dating this guy and I decided to break up with him, but he did it first and like a big dope I cried all day. So after work, I had an interview, and then made an appointment for a manicure first thing Thursday morning. (A little treat for myself, besides the salon is right next to my “Old Job”) God it feels so weird saying that. Well, I better schedule a bunch of interviews because I need to find something to keep me busy. Since the age of 14, I have only been unemployed once, and that was when I was 17 – for two weeks…. Wish me luck!  |
Been busy, busy lately.

Lydia’s Early Intervention eval was pretty benign. They expect her at 2 to be able to say 50 words on her own. She says 5. She can say 10 others if you prompt her. The woman was nice she can tell Lydia is smart, she’s just for one reason or another delayed in her speech. She goes for a ST Eval on February 2nd.
Tomorrow she will be 2. I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT! I can not get over the fact that my baby girl will be TWO tomorrow! Nothing really planned as Fred doesn’t get paid until Friday. My parents got her a play kitchen that makes noises. I assembled it today. It was so cute, I “turned on the sink” and she ran over and but her mouth under the spigot. lol I wish I had caught it on video.
My beloved point and shoot digital camera is on the fritz. We paid $100 for it when Lydia was a few months old. (because I dropped the one I had before that when she was 2 months old) They say point and shoots are on their way out, since so many of the smart phones take exceptional pictures. The Canon PowerShot A590IS took awesome quality videos. The same camera NOW on Amazon sells for over $300. Ridiculous! I’m going to have to start saving my Amazon Cards from Swagbucks. Do you do Swagbucks? I’ve earned over $500 in FREE STUFF from Amazon! Sign up here. It is open to US Residents, UK and Canada.
Lydia will be 2 on Thursday, and I am freaking out at her vocabulary – or lack of it. She says 15 words. I know we are not supposed to compare kids… but there is a reason these guidelines and milestones are in place. I called to have Early Intervention come out and do an evaluation of her. She understands a TON more words than she says, but I am concerned about her verbal skills. The eval is at 10AM Central time today. I will surely post an update later.
GOD is in control regardless.
