Is that too much to ask for? A moment of sitting on the couch to read the paper or a book on a Saturday afternoon? Sometimes it feels like that is an impossible feat for me, especially today. I just had a huge fight with Tiara and my hands are bleeding in numerous spots from…

I forgot something rather important!
I don’t know about you but one of the things I hate the most in this world is sitting in a hot car. I feel totally claustrophobic and near suffocation if I don’t have enough cold air in a small space. As a result I am kinda weird in the summer about getting Tiara in…
Is Tiara a movie star?
Funny story. Monday I was in Mother’s Market grabbing Trinity and I a Synergy before I picked her up from her Musical Theater Camp and I ran into someone from high school. She looked exactly the same, so I recognized her right away and stopped to say Hi. She reads my blog so she knew…
The never ending holiday weekend…
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend even though I can’t quite claim the same. I feel as if I haven’t written a post in forever but nothing new or great has been happening around my home, just more of the same. Well that isn’t entirely true, but you can judge…
A small miracle has occurred!
As Tiara’s Mom there are a few things I stopped hoping for years ago. One, that she would learn to write her name, and two, she would some day be potty trained. She is the most stubborn person in the world, which is why she is still alive, but she refuses to even get near…
Could she be the one?
I received a call this morning from the company who is supposed to be providing a caretaker for Tiara. They said they had someone for Tiara and would be sending her over at 2 p.m. today? Really, are you sure? I was just complaining to Lou this morning that I hadn’t heard from them in…
Why are my muscles sore?
I have woken up everyday for the past week with really sore muscles and yet I haven’t exercised all week. HMMMM, I guess it is my nonstop gardening, manhandling Tiara in her current ongoing horrible mood and pushing her 185+ body in the wheelchair across grassy soccer fields for 5 days. Talk about weight training,…
Who turned off the water?
So Wednesday morning early I heard a knock on the door and when I opened it, there was the water man. He gave me a piece of paper and said the water would be turned off for a half an hour today and from 9:30 until 1:00 I think, on Thursday. I thanked him, shut…
A weekend without the computer or the hospital!
So you may have noticed I didn’t have a post on Monday, Memorial Day and that is because I decided to stay computer free Saturday and Sunday and just enjoy the weekend. I spent my time gardening! The great news is that Tiara made it through the weekend without a hospital visit. I took her…
Did I jinx myself?
So I may have jinxed myself after talking about how great Tiara has been doing this past week. Last night she was breathing funny during the night and kept tearing off her oxygen. I must have gotten up 4 times to put it back on, check her oxygen level and then feel her chest. She…
