Thank you everyone for your wonderful and thoughtful comments. We are home from the hospital and Matthew is doing great. We got there about 6:15am, Matthew went in for pre-op at 6:30am. I went with him. They gave him some drugs to make him loopy, they said it would help with separation anxiety, which...
When this posts we should be in the van headed for the hospital. Within an hour of this post Matthew should be in surgery, or at least getting prepped for surgery. Please keep us in your prayers. All of you: Christians, Pagans, whatever you might be, please pray that my son won’t have any...
Sorry! I try not to post more than once a day, but sometimes it’s necessary I guess. We met with the anesthesiologist this morning. I was happy to hear that I will be able to stay with Matthew right up until they take him into the operating room, and as soon as he is...
I was reading this post and it got me thinking. How do you know when to forgive someone, or stop being angry? When do you decide to let go? No, I’m not talking about the kids’ father. I know I’m not ready for that. Matthew’s surgery is tomorrow and his father still has not...
What exactly is a Theta mom? Well the ultimate Theta mom explains it best here, when she says: We are Theta Moms, The True, Authentic Moms. We are authentic because we live authentic lives. Life isn’t perfect and neither are our kids. Her blogoversary is today and she’s asking all Theta moms to...
I think about some of the strangest things sometimes. I decided I’m going to start posting those strange things I wonder about, right here on the blog, every Sunday. Because not too many people read my blog on a Sunday, and because it’s just one of those things that I want to do. This...
Haha. Just kidding. Dee from Free2bMommy (you will find her always in my sidebar on the homepage, for future reference) gave me my very first blog award for this blog! I can honestly say I have never seen the “Blog with Substance” award before. I’m kind of excited that someone out there thinks my...
I was 13 years old the first time I made a prank phone call. It started a whole this-is-so-much-fun let’s-do-that-again rollercoaster ride. The first ever prank phone call I made, I was talked into doing it by my cousin’s Melissa and Sherry. They convinced me it would be a great idea to prank call...
Summer’s in our family apparently now means: TRAVEL. Last summer we traveled 907 miles in three days with two vehicles and three children to what the Army says is our new home. This summer, we will again be traveling those 907 miles, this time with one vehicle. This time we’re driving straight thru, no...
We talked to Matthew about what’s going to happen. We said that the doctor’s are going to help him go to sleep and then while he’s sleeping they will fix what’s wrong. Then when he wakes up he’ll be spoiled rotten for two weeks. He had a lot of questions and we answered them...
