Last month, Tiara’s neurologist prescribed her a new seizure medication that just came on the market, called Potiga. Even though Tiara is only having a few seizures each day, which is super fabulous for her, she is so sedated she can’t do much until the afternoon each day. Our plan was to add this…
Are your pupils the same size?
I am just going to say it straight out, I hate going to the eye doctor. I would rather have a pap smear than get my eyes checked. Crazy but true. On Monday, I realized that I only had 3 days of my contacts left and from past experience I know you need a…
A crayon fundraiser for Tiara!!!
This past Saturday morning Tiara had a big surprise. Avalon, a 6th grader at Newport Heights Elementary, my Alma mater, came over to our house with her Mom, Gina and brought with them boxes and boxes and boxes of crayons. WOW! Tiara was so excited she kept saying “thank you, thank you, your welcome,…
Do you think it is rude to send a thank you note via email or text?
Now that my birthday is over, I have a few thank you notes to write and I am contemplating how to get them done. I grew up super old school, where a written thank you note was to be sent within 2 days of receiving any gift. I tried to teach my children the…
I had quite the scare today!
Today was one of those days where everything didn’t go exactly wrong, but just different than I planned. Tiara and I usually walk with a friend on Wednesdays but this morning I had an early auction meeting for the school at 8:15am. My plan was to do Tiara’s medicine a little early and bring…
Who do you look like?
My whole life, everyone has told me I looked like my Dad. We both had blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin as opposed to my Mom and sister’s big brown eyes and darker complexion. Funny enough about 7 years ago, I had to start wearing glasses to read and realized I didn’t look…
My year long hair color adventure starts today!
As you know I have been leaving hints as to the big change I was going to do for my 43rd birthday today and as you can see from the picture, I dyed my hair red. I have had blonde hair my entire life and wanted to do something fun and dramatic for my…
Where to get the best stuff for super cheap!
This is such a random post for me, but I thought I would share where I purchased all my current set of dishes, my glasses and few other things. First of all you must know, that all the dishes we received as wedding presents 20 years ago were broken within a few years. I…
I hate feeling like this!!!
I hate when I feel just blah. I am pretty sure it is hormonally related because now that I am on my 7th month of blogging I am noticing a pattern with my moods. Maybe it is the weather? I mean how muggy and gross can it get? Trinity got out of school at noon…
Just when I thought it was getting better, everything went back to normal
So, I have to say this weekend, which I was dreading, turned out to have some really surprising high points. Trinity and I took Tiara to Target and the market on Friday, two public places in one day, is really pushing it, and at both places, she actually walked, wasn’t in her wheelchair, and…
