Today I am losing it. Tiara won’t stop eating and it is driving me insane. Over the past 2 years she has steadily gained weight because of her medications. Sometimes she is insatiable and no matter what I feed her she wants more. She is in one of those phases and I feel like I…

TT and her new sleeping habits…
So it looks like my site is almost back to normal, after 2 days of being down and 8 hours of customer support. I wrote an email update on Monday so if you are on my email list you knew my site was broken. I suggest everyone sign up for my email list because then…
Enough is Enough …
Today I am posting about something that affects everyone in our society. This topic touches everyone who has a child, grandchild, niece or nephew. What am I talking about and why: The rising epidemic of drug overdoses among our children. Last week I received this email from a friend who is a Emergency room physician…
Do you decorate spooky or sweet?
Do you decorate scary for Halloween or make a cute fall display with hay, smiling jack-o-lanterns and gourds? I use to do the latter but a few years ago I got tired of the “perfect” Martha Stewart fall look with the stacked Cinderella pumpkins, and so I switched to scary decorations. The switch didn’t cost…
Where did I go?
I am sure you noticed I haven’t posted since Monday. Nothing amazing, terrible or too terrific has happened this week nor did I accomplish more than usual. I felt more isolated and alienated without all my readers sending me comments but I did have a little more free time. I missed you all more than…
It’s your choice, would you rather…
This is the question I posed to Lou on Thursday night : Would you rather clean the smeared poop out of the trampoline or give Tiara her bath? He looked at me and said, “Oh, you can choose honey, which would you rather do?” me: “clean the poop out of the trampoline.” lou: “Yes, I…
“Your daughter is so beautiful”…
The other day I walked into my favorite beauty supply to grab some quick dry for my nails. I was really in the mood to get a manicure and pedicure but knew I shouldn’t spend the money so instead I went and bought the quick dry drops, so I had a hope of nails lasting…
The picnic is this Sunday…
This Sunday is our annual Southern California Tuberous Sclerosis picnic so I spent all of Thursday getting ready. In the past we used the park BBQ’s and cooked hamburgers and hot dogs but last year I ordered Subway sandwiches. The sandwiches were way easier, but tasted boring. This year I decided that the BBQ stressed…
Where have I been?
If you are a regular reader you probably noticed I didn’t post Thursday or Friday last week. In the past if I skipped a post it was usually because I was beyond busy. This time I wasn’t over the top busy or on vacation, I just didn’t feel like posting. But Why? As much as…
She actually picked up a piece of trash
So a small miracle occurred today. Tiara went out to sit on her swing, which does many times throughout the day and as she went to sit down she noticed a granola bar wrapper on the ground. She stopped, bent over, picked up the wrapper and turned back towards the house. She then walked into…
