I have to get on my soapbox for a moment.I have a brother who is deaf. He's older than me by a year. He communicates 100% through sign language. He does have some limitations due to lack of understanding abstract things. He wasn't born deaf. He was born 3 months premature and acquired an infection that nearly took his life. The medicine to save his life is what took his hearing. Perhaps

Well... Things don't always go as we plan. Would it be weird to hold a funeral for a piece of exercise equipment?Tonight, while getting in my workout on the elliptical machine, it started making a very loud bump noise every time the wheel (in the back) was at the bottom of the rotation. I tried to baby it along while attempting to get some exercise... in the end it died anyway. It looked like

Today is Saturday October 8th. Lately I have had a LOT on my mind. In 41 days I will be 40. I've always had goals in my mind that I would achieve by the time that date arrived:1 - Be done having kids.2 - Get my body back into the best shape possible.3 - Be doing what I want to do for the rest of my life (job wise)4 - Be financially stable and able to start having fun.There are others but they

I find myself so wrapped up in the little here and there posts on facebook that I have all but forgotten my precious blog. My blog... where I get to project a little bit more of "me" than is possible on FB. While our lives continue to be plagued with financial stress - actually more so than I ever thought I would ever be able to endure - I do have some happy-ish developments. Since I quit

I love to see who does the voices behind some of my favorite cartoon charters. Here is a little treat for you. This is a video of Jodi Benson singing "Part of your World". She does the voice of Ariel in Disney's "The Little Mermaid".Here is a video of the original recording for the movie (in studio).

Ok.... I have to admit. I am very slow to warm up to new technology. I wait until something has been around a few years before I reluctantly join the throng. For example: When CD's first came on the scene. My brother came home after listening to a new tech thing called a Compact Disc on a friend's new stereo system. He raved on and on about how clear the sound was. He could even hear the

I co-teach a neighborhood preschool twice a week on rotating months. It's a small fun group of kids. I have noticed some pretty major improvements in several of the kids already. Not only are the kids learning their alphabets (reading and writing) but they are learning quite a bit about being social. Taking turns and realizing that the world simply does NOT revolve around them are some of the

I know I've been off the board for quite a while. Sometimes I get so wrapped up into my Facebook account that I forget about this one. We've been swamped being a family lately. My husband and I burned the midnight oil many nights making the twins their Halloween costumes. Then again the next week when they had big school projects due. They both decided to do 3D sculptures and we had to help

Ok, if you've read any of my blog over the years you may have read about how hard life is at my house. Between my husband and children's health problems and our severe lack of income, etc.. We have been at the greatest financial LOW of our married lives - "living" on less than what most of you pay for a single mortgage payment.Well, if you have ever wanted to make a real difference to someone..

I'm spending some time nurturing my relationship with my computer because reality sucks. Right now I'm getting about as much warmth and feedback from my computer as life is giving me. (Please take notice that I have 0 comments on my blog - FB is not much better).My computer doesn't ignore me. It will pop up a fun and stimulating game if that's what I want. It will just sit here and listen to

I've recently looked at pictures posted by family members who live far away. They're always pictures of them in exotic locations doing fun and different things. My first feeling is "Oh, I wish I could do that too." "I'll never have enough money to do something like that." Then I stop and think about things clearly. I realize that I am where I am the happiest.Ok.... I don't have nearly enough

I have the best husband in the world. He's kind, playful, smart, clever, fun, loving and handsome. He has helped me to become a much better person. He "gets me". He has helped me to deal with my anxiety disorder. He has a very good heart and wants to help out others. He's a very talented artist. He listens to people and helps come up with solutions. He's the person I want to grow old with

I am so excited!! My mom is only a couple of hours away from arriving at my house. I haven't seen her since my dad's funeral last year. She is the most amazing woman, great friend and simply a lot of fun to be around. I feel so privileged to be able to have her for about a week. My brother and a couple of my other brother's kids are also coming up. Great opportunity for a few of the cousins

Ok . . . I have always been plagued with the question of which to do first. Read the book that a movie was made about or watch the movie that was made from the book?I watched all the currently made Harry Potter films first (4). I was impatient to find out how it all ends so I read the entire series from the beginning. It was a nice refresher of the plot and subplots. I have now read all 5

It's been 1 year since I joked with my dad...Since I saw him smile at his last grandchild...(she was not quite 2 months old yet - his eyes lit up and danced as she laid on his chest... sharing each other's warmth. Dad always loved babies.)Since I helped him get a drink of water...Since I watched him laugh...This was the last week I saw my dad alive.........I miss you dad . . .

I LOVE Star Trek!!!!!When I was a kid I would have thought someone must have been severely delusional if they attached that statement to ME.You see.... I am the youngest kid (a girl) and I grew up with 2 brothers. We are very close in age. They are 1 and 2 years older than myself. When we would play (anything) together we were typically split up into "teams" - intentional or not we ended up

Just in a Star Trek mood....I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!(I've seen an AMAZING fan video verion that blew this one out of the water. I've been searching for over an hour and have given up to get this posted. This video is the best alternative I could find.)

10 years ago today our little family of just 2 doubled to a family of 4. This was a day I never thought I would see. After 4 years of trying, praying, hoping, doctor visits, lab tests and multiple miscarriages we were able to conceive not 1 but 2 little miracles.Just when we thought all was well - I had quit throwing up and was starting to feel a bit better - my body decided to evict these tiny

This is a GREAT example of what freelance work is like.The only thing they left out of the video is when a "client" (aka moocher) asks for a "freebie" this time "But I promise that I'll send all my friends to you the next time they or I have a project like this". "I'll send a lot of business your way."If it's business like what he's asking for, NO THANK YOU!!!!

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.2) Wrinkles don't hurt.3) Families are like fudge..mostly sweet, with a few nuts.4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the

I truely LOVE talking with my mom on the phone. We have some of the best conversations. She has been my best friend for a long time.Now that I'm a mom with a few years of experience under my belt our conversations have changed and become even more colorful. I think I have helped her come out of her shell a bit. Very few topics are off limits. I think I have single handedly taught her to

Gravity - you can't touch it, taste it, smell it, or hear it rustling in the trees. Some say it's HUGE while others make claims that it is nothing.Most people feel it's effects in the same way while others seem to live outside the "laws" that scientists claim are connected to it. Take Shaun White's recent performance in the half-pipe at the 2010 Olympics. Shaun seems to be able to pick and

Valentines Day.... 1994.... Hubby and I got engaged... on a small iceburg.When he proposed he gave me a beautiful ring that I (of course) forced on my finger. It wasn't too extremely difficult to do so... I was completely frozen and forgot that things tend to shrink when at that level of cold.When I got back to my apartment I felt a painful throbbing in my finger. I looked down and noticed

Squeaky (the baby) is napping, Daddy is in his office working, 3 older siblings are at school. It's alone time for Tinkerbell and mommy for lunch. Normally Tinkerbell asks Mommy to say the prayer.

If that's the case... we have a flood at our house. My husband has worked for a local company for 7 or 8 years now. My husband gets hired as contract labor. He typically has 2 projects a month with them and works for other clients the rest of the time. They have always paid the work invoices within 2 or 3 weeks after submitting.

I need to be more positive. There are days where I find it easier to cut myself down rather than find the better side of things. I need to keep days like this in check.A year ago my husband finally introduced me to an actor (that he works with for a week every year) that I had a crush on since I was a young teenager. He was just being nice and asking me how my husband was able to snag me. My

Last week, while sitting around the table for dinner we started to share stories of our earliest memories. I have 2 very early ones. What I find interesting is that those memories are more surrounded by how I felt rather than so much of what happened.One of my earlier memories was of when I was still in diapers. I remember running down the hallway, trying to catch up with my brother when I

Having my mom around is very therapeutic. When I saw her this summer it was under some pretty stressful circumstances. (Dad's illness and passing).I can feel a piece of my heart relax and I swear it grows when she's around.Last night I gave my mom a perm and a haircut. I have been privlidged to do this since I was a teenager. I REALLY enjoy having my mom "captive" - all to myself for several

Ok... tonight I got bamboozled in a good way. I was under the assumption that I was heading out with a friend Annette and another friend for ice-cream to celebrate our recent birthdays.....I walk in to our friend's house and much to my surprise they say surprise to me. I'm so dang literal that I'm still concerned about our friend's supposed hurt leg it takes my brain more than a few beats to

I recently joined the ranks of Facebook. I never thought I would. I thought I would never have a facebook, myspace or twitter account. I thought they were pointless.... then again... I thought online blogging was pointless. Here I am still nearly 2 years later. I caved and joined facebook simply so I could follow the changes in family size some friends of ours were going through.Our friends

If you're looking for some gadget for Christmas but don't want to spend full retail price.. head over to woot.com and see what their deal of the day is. They sell ONE item a day. LOTS of it but only ONE item per day. Several items are refurbished so steer clear if that is not your cup-o-T others are brand new. Tuesdays are 2for days... you get 2 for the price of 1.Every so often they have a

I just met this morning with the special needs coordinator at my kid's school. Recently Dragon Girl was retested to see where she is in her abilities. WHAT A SHOCKER!!! Yes, there are some areas where she is a tiny bit behind. They score by age level. She was tested at 9 years 7 months old. A small handful of the items they tested she was a tad behind by as much as 6 months delayed. No

I worked all night on Jabber Box's costume so he could wear it to school. He walked into the room where I was working and stated that he had just thrown up in the bathroom... then he proceeded to demonstrate the process while standing in the doorway. Oh Joy!!!Dragon Girl has progressively gotten better. YAY!!!!Now I'm off to get something sewn for her. There is NO way I can get done what

Here we are... almost Halloween and Dragon Girl has not let me down. Yup! She will once again miss out on Halloween due to illness. Last year she was sick and stayed home from almost everything. The year before last she was in the hospital. She got to trick-or-treat from a wheelchair in a special enviroment they made just for the pediatric wing.Currently I'm on the fence about taking her to

I recently joined the HUGE world of Facebook. I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Trying to find family and friends. I'm soooo confused over there.I seriously feel like the last person on earth to join facebook. When I look at people's friend list and there's over 100 names on it I feel like such a dweeb. I've actually hit double digits - most of them my husband's family members.If anyone

Yesterday my husband scared me more than I have been in a long time. He has something wrong with his health. Doc's still don't know what. Probably never will... but we'll keep pumping cash into their pockets so they can afford their cars/houses/vacations.Anyway... He hit what I would consider rock bottom. When he's not doing well he can't work, can't watch or help with the kids, can't totally

I'm beginning to think I'm never going to get on a regular schedule. A couple of days ago I announced that I was tired and going to bed - It was 9:30pm. By 10:01pm I was in bed nursing Peanut for the last time. My head hit the pillow by 10:28pm and I was out cold.....11:45pm Peanut woke up dying for some more food. She pretty much fell asleep during the 10pm feeding and didn't get much. I

This is a typical night at our house.....(FYI - I don't list hubby here because nothing's typical with him.

I haven't updated any posts here because I don't like posting negative thoughts.... Well... that's all I have still to post about. My husband has something wrong with his general health. We don't know what it is. It has caused him a LOT of problems since he was about 7 years old. When everything is working right he looks and acts like a "regular person". Nothing out of the ordinary.
