Wednesday night/ Thursday morning Tiara woke up at 1am again. She kept making her usual demands, ipod, movie, crayons, pictures but then she started coughing. Oh crap, I ran to the cabinet and grabbed a towel. When she coughs more than 2 times in a row it means she is going to vomit. …

How did she get to be so old?
With graduations, promotions and last days of school happening everywhere I am sure many of you are feeling how I felt today. How did my kid get to be so old? Well today, Trinity, the baby of our family rode her bike to school all by herself. She has been harassing us for months…
Tiara, soon to be a freshman….
I was just thinking about the end of the year activities for Trinity and realized that if Tiara was still attending school she would be graduating from 8th grade in a few weeks. How did that happen? Wow, I can’t believe that she is supposed to be going to high school in September. I…
And her new place to color is?
As you can see, Tiara has taken her art to a new canvas, my walls, my doors and my kitchen cabinets. Last night when Lou came home I said “Hey, did you see the walls? Look what she did!” His response, ” So what, didn’t you do that same thing at 3 years old?”…
You have to take your medicine!
If you are a parent, I am sure you have had to administer the dreaded oral antibiotics that taste disgusting once or twice to your child. As you know, it is not fun or pretty. Sometimes it takes bribery and serious coercion to get the medicine down. Well, Tiara has to take 17 pills…

Please stop talking before I go crazy….
So, as I am sure you can all imagine, I can talk. I can talk so much I can make Louie’s eyes roll into the back of his head, but you will never find me talking when someone else is addressing a crowd. Yet, I find it fascinating that every time I attend…
Who do these kids belong to?
I know this may seem a little weird posting pictures of some kids I don’t even know, but they are hilarious and made us laugh so much I had to share. Sunday after church, the girls and I all went to Fashion Island with my parents for lunch. We can never decide…
Why does everyone say worry about yourself first?
I am so over hearing “what are you doing for you?” Take care of yourself first, You need to worry more about yourself, Find some time for yourself, You need a break”, etc, etc. I know people are just trying to be nice and they have been given this advice themselves so they are passing…
Last year at this time….
As I have mentioned in previous blogs, I don’t usually dwell on the past. But because I have been trying to raise awareness for Tuberous Sclerosis this month, I keep thinking about this same time last year. It was during this same week after Mother’s Day that Tiara was supposed to be recovering from…
