Today I can't stop listening to Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton and crying my eyes out.  I just keep replaying it.  I have always loved this song, one of my brothers hates it and thinks that it is one of the worst songs ever.  If my one brother thinks this, I'm sure that the other one does too.  This is almost exactly how I feel this year.  ( Read more... )

Just noticed a nice coincidence in the past entries of my journal. I wrote on the 25 of November a lot about thinking about the baby and my sister thinking a lot about the baby on the same day. From the reports that we got from the agency, that was the same day that he went in for all of his medical exams and got cleared as healthy.

Our baby is on his way!  He is healthy and cute and smart and perfect.  He is amazing.  We only have a few months left before he is home with us.  We have distributed emails and pictures and everyone is just so excited to have a little face to put with our dreamings.  He is amazing.  (I think that I said that already, but it is true)  He is also ( Read more... )

CDad had chemo today and they gave him 3 different bags this time which is different. He has started another drug that is one of the second line drugs. Although we don't have any hard numbers, I have a feeling that this isn't great news. But of course, look at how much further along we are today than we ever could have dreamed in June. Still ( Read more... )

When people complain about Monday, I have never been able to relate. I dislike Fridays and lately, Sundays, mostly Sunday evenings are just miserable ( Read more... )

This is my busy time of year at both jobs. HH's birthday is right after Thanksgiving. He is the most confusing birthday person I have ever known. Add this into the stress ( Read more... )

I found a website that allows me to draw my cards on line instead of dragging them off of the top of the armoire.  I keep them up there because HB loves to play with them and gets them all over the place.  Anyway the above are the cards that I picked tonight.

HH and I have finally found some sort of rhythm to our Thanksgiving holiday. This year we ( Read more... )

To get this out of the way first, someone should smack me.  After my healthy energy claiming crap on Saturday, I woke up on Sun early morn (330) to puke my guts out.  Didn't I actually write somewhere in here about desiring a common virus?  I can laugh today, but Sun. I was kicking myself.

ANYWAY

These past couple of days have had huge blessings ( Read more... )

I am healthy and full of energy,  I feel the bounce in my step.  I see my shining eyes.  The radiant me is right here.  I claim it now.

I am really happy to have drawn this card.  Still having the dizziness, but not so bad.  I have decided that my time away from the treadmill has got to come to an end.  While I was getting the dossier ready for the ( Read more... )

Little miss is singing to her dad as he is trying to get her to sleep.  He always seems to beat her to the shut eye though.  Many nights I have found him snoozing away long after she is already out.  Now I hear her trying to give him her Binky Binky, this means soon she will turn over onto her side and will be out for the night.

I've been back at ( Read more... )
