Repeat after me....I am a Power Ranger Addict.

I think I need to get him in a 12 step program.

Seriously, though we hit the mega load at the thrift store.

I love him no matter what.....

Just wanted to let everyone know why I have and will be hit or miss, Houston is about to be tested for a few things. He still has some delays and isn't progressing like we would all like. We are also having some attention span problems. One of the things he is about to be tested for is Autism.

I hate that it is only at three they really start to address your concerns...when everything you read tells you that it is better to address things early....WTH?

Anyways, I have been trying to spend as much time with my little man as possible.

Nothing will bond you to a new friend like a good case of food poisioning.....

Well, my best bud here in town moved to Plymouth, Mass. this last week. I am still super bummed about it. We are in touch constantly though and we are going to visit in Feb. :)

Anyway, through Houston's speech "preschool" I met another mommy who I hit it off with. Yay, us :) Anyway, after speech today we took the kiddos to Mickey D's. Neither of us ever eats there unless it is for something like a playdate. So we get the kiddos Happy Meals and we both got a little thing of nuggets....well well well. Both our stomachs start hurting at McDonalds but neither of us say anything because it is akward and we both are thinking it is because both us hardly ever eat fast food......well we decide to take the kiddos to B & N in a snazzy new shopping area....well wouldn't you know.....we get in there and it hits us. ALL modesty was set aside as we were rangling the kiddos and running to the bathroom. No sooner do we get out to the car...and the kiddos are getting sick :P

Yeah, I think we have forged a bond now...you can't almost poop your pants somebody and it not happen...LOL

Sorry if this grossed ya out. I am still feeling bad....poor Houston is doing better. He only had 2 nuggets. :(


I will write more later.....going to go force pedilyte down ds's throat :P

Just a pic post :)

Pumkin Patchery....

Smooching his "Biss Ciss"

Halloween..Tick A Treating...LOL

With his "Biss Ciss" before she left for MA.

First things first.

We took Houston to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. He loved it. I would love to take him back but it is about an hour and a half a way :(

He was so cute picking out his pumpkin I totally forgot to get a pic of it :P
I did get some other pics though.

Which I will post ;) When blogger will let me ;(

Houston is killing me with this Power Ranger obession. He even has a power ranger "voice"..lol. The SLP he mets with twice a week thinks it is the funniest thing ever.

The hubby took a few days off this week so we are doing so family stuff...the hubster is also giving me a break from things...yay, Hubby!!!!!

I will post some very witty and great to read later :P

Man, I have been busy.

I am wondering when things will start to slow down. This time of year is so freaking busy.

I feel like I run around all day. At least I get a little reprieve Houston doesn't have preschool tomorrow. Yay!

I need to take some pics of Houston and upload them. I haven't taken many lately. I am a bad mommy :(

I need to go and cook but don't want to. It will be something quick and easy....for sure.

I am kinda in a funk and not even sure why.

One thing that depresses me some is Houston is getting bigger and I know I will never have this moments with him again. I also know there is a 99 % chance I will never have another....sad sad. He would have made a good brother.

Houston is talking out the side of his mouth as a power ranger as we speak. He kills me. I better ger back down in the floor and play. It could get ugly fast :)

My child is a breed all his own.

I am sitting here watching Houston and three of my friends sons. It is fall break here.
In the last few minutes I have seen Houston act like a power ranger,a dog, and countless other things.

My child may be slightly strange but I wouldn't change anything about him. He is if nothing else one of the funniest newly 3 year olds I know. He makes me laugh all day long.

I am watching him with my friend's sons and I feel a little bad for him. He loves them so much and yet he annoys them so they aren't real thrilled with him being all up in their grills. Makes my heart hurt a little.

Houston is under the impression that he is in fact the Red Power Ranger. He will tell everyone, " Houston, power ranger." I red ranger." He is going to be so sad when he finds out he is just a little boy from Alabama. ;)

Houston is doing better in speech. He really likes Speech Preschool. I am homeschooling him on MWF and he loves that.

All in all we have been BUSY but things are finally looking up some.

Updates and Eye Candy ;0)

Our little skater boy. Only kid there wearing a helmet. Overprotective much???

All is good on the homefront.

Houston is doing speech "preschool" two days a week. He loves it! He is the youngest one by a year or so but seems to fit in fine. On MWF we have been doing "Homeschool." He is all about it. He loves crafts,stories and flashcards. I did too though so he comes by it honest. We learned about cowboys, the body, and Native Americans this month. I am going to take him to a Native American festival they are having at the burial grounds.....less than a minute down the road. I think he will like it!

This past weekend I watched my friends 3 boys. Managing four little boys was tough but totally fun! I have to say I think Houston was even better behaved than usual because he had constant entertainment. We went roller skating, to Chuck E Cheese and lots of other fun stuff. Houston was suprisingly good on the skates! I will post pics.

The hubby and I were going to to to the AL vs. FSU game but lack of funds nipped that in the bud :P LOL

Sadly, all of Houston's fish died this week. It looks like Hannah Montana passed on an illness to Cory Baxter, Nemo and Thomas....We will have to start all over :( Oh well, we told ds we were flushing them to Nemo's daddy in the ocean :P

Lately, I have been looking like quasimoto. My allergies are in high gear. I can't wait until it cools off. I love the fall.

I will update more later I promise :)

I can't believe my little man is three.

Sorry I have been so busy and have not updated :( Bad Jade!

We have been all over the place! Houston started his speech preschool. He loves it. He never mets a stranger!

We have had a bunch of doc appts which hopefully will settle down soon!

You name it has happened!

I swear Houston gets cuter and cuter everyday. I love him a little bit more everyday.

He is getting more verbal and he breaks my heart with his cuteness. He loves Babies, Nemo,HSM, Jeremy ( his dad),Mama,Thomas,his fish, MeMan ( Spiderman),Dora and lots more.

I am so proud of him. Just like every mother is ;P

We didn't have a big party this year. Just a few little celebrations. It was like the Week of Houston's Celebrations. He had fun! I will post some pics which I am sure that post at the top of the entry. Gotta love blogger!

Things have been good here.The hubby suprised me and we are going to the Alabama and FL state away game:) Yay, him. I think we will have fun.

I will post more later. Jeremy had a work party on a local boat last night and I am still tired! LOL

I am raising a nudist

Little man wants to be nude at all times. Today while I was loading the dishwasher he stripped for like the third time and somehow managed to get 3 pullups on which I didn't realize until I changed him :P

Sorry I haven't blogged much. Had alot on my plate. Houston has lots of appointments :P

My little dog Lucy died last week so I have been in a sad mood :( She was so sweet.

I will share more Cheesy goodness later tonight!

Holy Mother of God

Houston has been a wild little beast the last few days. He isn't bad...just into everything. He soaks everything he sees in. The other day I had to pop a door look that he had locked with a knife. The next day he locks it on purpose and runs to the silverware drawer :O I about died!

In the last few days he has peed in my kitchen,pulled the drapes down,colored on walls,dumped his drink over his head just to name a few things.

He is doing super cute things though. Acting out his favorite movies. He is so cute,if I say so myself ;)

Today, I was going to take him to the Children's museum and guess what the car I bought 34 days ago wouldn't crank. A mecanic friend looked at it and had fixed it in 30 seconds.The part is only like 40 big ones....but it screwed up the whole day....so any cleaning I got done was shot. So I will have to wake up at like 6 to clean before the EI lady comes.....ugh ugh ugh.

Good news was I got the cash from the guy who rearended me in the above said car 2 or so weeks ago. Praise God.

I have been trying to organize more lately. I managed to get the walk in closet and another closet done on Monday....Yay me. I still got lots of things to do. I am a flawed perfectist. I would love it organized but the organizers are expensive.

Anyway, I will write more tomorrow. I just took a Lunesta so I am getting tired and loopy :P

Update...

Things have been crazy here. My grandparents have both been in a out of the hospital so I have been heavy hearted. Things are looking up a little bit though.

Houston is still having seizures :*( I wish they would just simmer down already. It is hard not to get overwhelmed. Seizures aren't something I thought I would ever have to deal with.

I am also a little sad because my one friend here in town is outta here and heading to MA in a few weeks. Houston loves here little ones so he will be so sad :(

Sorry to be such a downer today....I am not sure what my problems is....just slap me!

Kind of sad...

Took Houston to the doc yesterday and he said the weird eye blinking thing he has been doing is another type of seizure so now he is on another med :(

Hopefully it works.

I actually have plans tonight for a little me time so I will write more later!

Prayers for Cheese please :)

Life in the House of Big Cheese

We have been fairly busy. This time of year is so hectic. Lots of appointments. At least I once again have a car so I am not being hauled around. Praise god!

Houston's talking is getting better everyday or at least it seems so to me. He is still behind but not horribly bad or so I think :P He has started to call people by their first names with no prompting etc. ,so he is getting better with his expressive speech.

It finally rained last night. We had not had rain in so long! I am now majorally freaked to go outside though because we have had a lot of snakes in the neighborhood this week ....UGH

The hubby is having to work alot which bites but what can you do.

I am getting sad, our best friends here,really only good friends are moving to Boston in a few months ...**Sniff. I guess I will have to make a road trip!

Well I will write more later. I just had a sec and thought I would let you know I was alive.

Big updates...

Miss Fifth Grade

Mr. Laugh a minute

Lets see I got a car. It's an older Durango. It fits the bill and is in great shape. I will love having no payments for sure!

My grandad has been very sick but is doing better now. I have been kinda hit or miss lately though. He is out of the hospital now. Yay.

Houston's talking is getting better everyday. He is a laugh a minute.

I went to my little sister's school bauty contest. She won :) She is Miss 5th grade.

My computer is still not fixed. It is low on the list right now...LOL

Can't wait till Dancing with the Stars tonight. I am still amazed I got sucked in. I have never had the urge to watch it before this year. I am addicted now...LOL

I will update more and post some cutie pootie pics later tonight.

Still no Computer and an Update...

I still am bumming the hubby's computer :( Hopefully, soon I will get mine fixed.

The update is my car did sale. So we are taking the profit and buying me a used car. Hubby gets free gas and a brand new 2007 van from work so we always drive it. I just gotta get from point a to point b.

It may be scary what the hubby insists I buy.

Man, I have been out f touch

Sorry, I have been having to bum the hubby's computer. I broke the LCD on mine.

It's been a long week in general. I am with out a car this week. Yuck. Houston had Scarlet Fever again this past week. I haven't slept well either. I know excuses...excuses.

I am kind of at a loss for what to say. Houston and I have been best buds. We have had fun the last week or so. Houston's dad and I got him a power wheels 4 wheeler for Easter so he has been riding that every chance he gets. He is way to brave on that thing!

We had a great Easter. I will post some pics later!

I hate to run after writing the most boring entry ever but I hear Houston rumbling in the other room. Just when I thought he was down for the night ;P

Sorry I have been MIA.

It's been busy. I swear I have more places to be now that I am home.

We are doing well. Just busy. Houston and I had the stomach flu this past week so it was a long one!

Houston qualified for speech:) So that was good. It eases our minds some.

Hubby and I went to see my brother play on Friday. Fun times. We got to see lots of old friends. I felt a little under the weather the next day. We don't usually stay out so late. It was fun though!

I will write more a little later. I am pooped!

Poor Houston can't win for losing.

I was in the powder room today and Houston came and knocked on the door as I was washing my hands. He said " Ow, my face." It was really red. I knew I had no heard him fall so I asked what did you hit it on? Did you fall etc. He told me " No, fall!" I was inspecting checking his pupils thinking maybe he had a a small seizure and whacked himself...I wasn't sure.It was already a little swollen.

Until I came into the living room and found a yellow jacket. Gave him his high dose antihistimine and all is good again. I feel so bad for him though. Talk about a bad week.

Bathtime fun!Few pics nothing special!

Poor Lip!!!

Green water from a dino egg!
Looking a wee bit nuts!
This is what comes in the egg...a little disappointing to say the least!
Bucket Head.

Day that lasted forever.

You can see his sad little lip ;(

Goodness today was lonnnnnngggg. I had to price things for our garage sale tomorrow. I will be glad to have it over and I think because I have the closure of knowing I can't get preggo without help, I know it will be years so I can purge some...KWIM?

I will give you the grand total tomorrow. 99% of it is baby and maternity stuff. Stroller,swing,carseat,riding toy, maternity clothes and tons tons tons tons like hundreds of pieces of boys clothes up to about a 2 or 3T. So we shall see!

I am also going to try to sell on of my die cutting machine. Everything I got is worth about 300. I would take 50 for it all ;P Hoping for 60-75. Who kn0ws??

Poor Houstini

Yesterday, after his sprint to the ice cream truck he ran into one of the bigger kids...think about 5'5 145lbs big and busted his nose and bit his lip bad. He still looks pitiful. Poor little man.

He just cried for a sec and then he was wanting to play again crazy boy.

Gotta love it.

You know you want one......All the cool kids are doing I stole the idea from another cool lady! Miss Nitty. Gritty herself, Jody.

When you have nothing exciting to say.....

Picking me a flower..

Looking cool....
Taking a pic of mom.
Enjoying his sucker.
Checking his camera settings ;P

Post pics ;)Took these outside today. I so wish I

had a DSLR. I have my film one which I never use...LOL

Houston apparently thinks he is a photgraper. Today he told me " You Camera falled." I asked who falled it ( dropped it) he said "Jeremy...camera...falled." I then asked him Daddy dropped your camera...He said " No, Jade's." LOL

I think he is spinning another tale if he isn't I wish hubby would drop it hard enough to get a DSLR...lol

Have a busy day tomorrow.

For your enjoyment! From Easters Past. Visting the bunny!
Me and my Pappaw.
First Easter! At the beach.
Mommy Daddy and Houston at Nana's dying eggs!


Gotta to drive a few hours with a 2 yr old always fun ;)





This weekend we are having a yard sale. I will be getting rid of Houston's swing,etc..**Sniff*Sniff. I know it will be years before I can have another if I even can. I figure it will all be outdated by then. It will still be way sad though :(





I am trying to get some money out of a seller on ebay. It seems like it is harder and harder to make anything on ebay. I think the fees and the new format are part of the reason.





I am excited I have 50 free pics coming from Winkflash. Just had to pay .99 in shipping can't beat that. There was a special for new customers. I usually use snapfish but for free I am willing to try anybody. I go through soooo many pics scrap booking. Alot of the ones I ordered are older ones. It makes me sad that so many of his "firsts"pics got lost when the computer crashed.





I will write more tomorrow. I promise. I still have a little of the stomach flu so I am hitting the hay!



Hope you enjoyed the Easter pics...it is almost here again! Trying to get in the spirt!

For your viewing pleasure...

Nothing. The picture function doesn't seem to be working. I will add some pics later.

Sorry I have been MIA

It's been a crazy week. We have to met with Houston's Neuro. We had 3 speech related things..I think..LOL Then Houston and I caught a lovely stomach flu. Fun fun. So needless to say the sleepover was canceled until next week.

It's not going to be a fun week. Funds are tight due to lots of prescrips and a huge car insurance payment. Not fun. We hope to sell my car and get rid of that monster payment and get me a nice used car. The car is 4 this month ;) and only has something like 35,000 on it. So to say I don't drive it much is an understatement...lol

I haven't got to get on the internet as much because our wireless router broke so I have to sit at the desk and hook it into the modem. Not my cup of tea and not near as easy. So until we get a new Linkis (sp) thing I may be AWOL.

Houston talking has gotten better since I have been home with him, gotta kill the hubby,LOL. He is actually saying a few very funny sentences. He is such a card. He is still kinda hard to understand though.

He is so funny because he will pick up on stuff on commericals like .com and have to sing it out constantly. I guess he loves anything catchy.

I will write more substance later. Hopefully!

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry I have been MIA. I have been feeling a wee bit like I have been hit by a train after getting my treatment. I feel like a new woman now though:)

Houston is good. He got approved for speech...yay. They say he will probably not qualify for long but we can hope;) Another gal is coming by the house tomorrow...

Houston was supposed to have his little buddy Loren come and spend the night on Friday. Instead she is coming Tuesday so I will have some good pics I am sure. I have some cute ones from the other day. I will post them in a sec.

Poor hubby has had to work his tush off this weekend. I feel bad for him.

I will write more when Houston Chancey Chance goes down for a nap.

How is it possible ...

That I am way more busy being at home then when I was working...I guess I forgot.

I am waiting on Jeremy to call and let me know when to drop the dog of at the vet. Did I metion I hate living so far out of town. I would never buy this far out again.

The little neighbor girl who turns 7 today is going to spend the night this weekend with Houston. They are buds so they are excited.

I need to get motivated to do something. I didn't sleep good at all last night. The house is semi cleaned. Everything is picked up just a little deep cleaning. I think I will wait until tomorrow morning due to the fact that EI is coming tomorrow at 3:00. If I do it now then Houston will have trashed whatever I do by then...lol

I will write more later. I am just feeling a little worn out and am driving all over town running errands...lol

Well my treatment got canceled.

Due to the bad tornados and junk we are expecting later.

Houston has a dentist appt. for Monday. I hope to hear back from the EI people today too. Keep fingers crossed!

I will write more later.

Pass me a Xanax.

Man, my nerves are about shot. Still playing phone tag with the EI. I left her a message. Hopefully, we can set something up for next week.

I was inspecting Cheese's teeth today. Yes, I inspect them..LOL and I noticed a tiny little darker area that looks like the enamel may have chipped right between his two front teeth. He has banged those chompers so many times no telling when he did it. It has just darked in like the last day though. So I am trying to get him an appt with a pedi dentist. Did I mention the dentist is like my worst fear. I hate going. I am 25 years old and still have to get them put a mask over my face. This is the reason I am the teeth inspector and have only had one cavity.UGH

I have my treatment Thursday. It's with a new nurse this time and I really really dread it. I have a port in my chest and they have to put a blunt needle in it and I am infused over like 5 hours. Well I can't use the numbing cream...so imagine a blunt fish hook going in you...not fun...well everyone is positioned differently and the new nurses always miss or break the needle on the metal in the port...ugh. I am dreading it bad. My regular nurse will be on Mat. leave for a while.

I feel so bad and so achy I don't want to do anything.Houston is being terrific though so that is great. We are having fun at home.

Oh well keep your fingers crossed for my sanity. I feel slightly overwhelmed...lol

Still not had the EI evaluation...

It has me so freaked out. In order to qualify the test all areas of lanuage. Ds's only real delay is in expressive lanuage. I would hate the fact that he understands keep him from getting speech therpy.

I am just so worked up and down about the whole thing.

Eye Candy

I am still ticking.

Just getting into the swing of this stay at home mom thing. Listing things on ebay, getting a schedule you know the drill.

I will be out of commission towards the end of the week. I have my monthly treatment...yuck. I may stay up a day or so to visit the family some.

I will write a longer post a little later...Houston keeps getting up and not wanting to take a nap.

Does anyone read this thing???

I think I may be writing all this for my own benefit......I know it is boring....sorry.

I am watching Menopause at 22.It is pretty interesting,it is really depressing me though....I am scared that will be me in a few years. I am already well on my way. I wish I could afford lots of fertility drugs....God will provide I guess if it's meant to be. No one is guaranteed anything I guess.

Way OT but I watched SAW III and man was it gory. I wish I hadn't watched it. I do think it had a good message....as weird as that is to say. The message was not to leave a vengefull life. Words to live by if you me.

Crap on a cracker.....

Sorry for the vulgarity but I am more than a little p.o.ed.

For the third day in a row in water for the majority of the day.They are doing work...man it is fun to PT with no running water....

**Sigh**

Still no cable man.

I hate when they say between 8-10 and then they come at like 10:30. It throws our whole schedule off...ugh. Now Houston will be all up in their business...too bad for them. They should have came earlier;)

I have so much I need to do. Clean out my car, it is bad! Go to the post office. Those are just a few of the things...to bad everywhere I got to go isn't in the same direction. At least it's not cold,cold. Houston is a bear to get out of the car when it is really windy and cold. I can't say I blame him.

I have also got to deep clean some today. I am good about being able to keep it straight...but Houston is the master at foiling my plan on really scrubbing. I at least want to be able to get the front bath due to the fact that the EI will be coming sometime this week...hopefully. We shall see.

I guess I will call if there is still no cable man at 10. Man, I could have slept about 30 min later...instead of getting up to get an earlier show...I wanted to be ready and stuff by the time he got here. Crap,crap,crap. Oh well, I may have to partake in a power nap when Houston does....LOL

Man, oh man.

It's been a long one. Houston has been great during the day a holy terror at night. Hubby has had to work very late both nights, so I think that had alot to do with it. He is up and running around again...ugh..He will go down for a while and then pop back up.

I think all his meds are keeping him wired too. The cable man is coming by at 8 tomorrow...so he will be getting up early whether he likes it or not. This doing anything he can to stay a wake thing is OLD NEWS.

I took a Tylenol PM. I wish that dang thing would kick in. I can tell I will get zero sleep if it doesn't kick in. Keep your fingers crossed.

Sorry I have nothing super exciting or witty to say today. I am just too dang tired...LOL

Tomorrow ....

Tomorrow is my first day as a SAHM...well since May. We will see how it goes. Today Houston colored himself a beard with his crayola markers...so it should be pretty fun ;)

He is a great kid. I am so lucky to have him! He makes me laugh constantly. He is such a ham.

We should have the meeting with the EI person in our home this week. I will keep everyone posted. I do dread cleaning the house though;) LOL

Not much to talk about today...sorry for the dullness.

Guess who has scarlet fever again...

I bet you can't guess...... okay, I will tell you...Houston. Big suprise there...huh?

**Insert scream here**

So my first day back home with him will probably be spent at the peds office and of course it is a long weekend this week...nice.

I feel so guilty...

I feel like I am depriving Houston of friends. If I was still working he could still go to school with his friends. I feel like a failure. I am going to try to make things as school like as possible. Lot of play dates hopefully.

Hubby has been out with one his fellow history lovers. They have panned for gold, look at revoultary graves you name it. He should be in a good mood. I am a little jealous. I love anything historical myself. We are such nerds. Houston will grow up knowing tons of useless facts and be a great trival pursuit player. LOL

Houston has been my little buddy today. A little whiney though. I think alot of it is frustration about not being able to communicate 100% with us. His talking has gotten better but we still have a ways to go because I can already tell articulation is going to be a problem too. Oh well, he tries so hard. I just think people tend to judge him a little unfairly due to his size too..kwim?

Man, I don't want to deep clean,cook, or anything. I have been putting off going out and running to the store...for two reasons....it's cold and because Houston insisted on dressing himself and is wearing sandals.

Write more later.

Houston's last day at school

He was a hugging fool!

Withdrawls

Our internet just came back up after being down for a few days....it was not fun ;)

A few new things....first off we met with the E.I. people today. We are doing the in home evaulation next week. It seems his delay is in his expressive lanuage. I will keep everyone posted on that.

Thursday was my last day at work. Kinda sad. Today was Houston's last day of school. It broke my heart. He loves his buddies. He will be so confused next week. He seems kinda sad, I think he realizes something is up....poor little man.

Little more eye Candy....

More pics of Houston wearing his funny hat at his EEG....no seizures since we increased his meds!!!YAY!He looks so sad:(

Blogger is giving me fits!

Doing his best Corbin or as he as "Cordon" Bleu impression. He loves that double dutch movie...lol

Eye Candy

The poop face....you can't tell he insisted on wearing his Crocs!

Well I am about to be a stay at home mom again.

I am so glad to stay at home and have fun with my little guy but so worried about money. We could swing me staying at home if it weren't for all the darn medical bills. Oh well, God will provide. Pray for me.

I feel sorry for Houston he loves his buddy Addison,luckily though Hubby works with her Grandma so maybe they can still "date."

Houston is so funny. We are attempting to potty train. He is sooooo dang funny.
I will post a pic of his "Poop" face later.

He is having a V-day party at school tomorrow, his last day will be Thursday. I think he will be sad that he isn't going to school any more but hopefully mommy's love can cure it.

Please Keep the Gilley family in your prayers.He was a friend of mine and is married to a distant cousin of mine. He passed away and his funeral was today.He leaves behind a small daughter.

I could beat someone with a stick.....seriously.

Man, we thought are our taxes went through fine...no just luck. So now do to the fact that we had already E-Filed we get to wait for 7 more weeks...Lovely!

Few pics

At his EEG and playing the guitar with Daddy.

I think Blogger just ate my massive post...

ugh!

Hope I am not jinxing us!

But since we have started the new dosage of meds....no seizures...Praise God!

He has another appointment on Thursday with Dr.Syed the Neurologist. Maybe the EEG we had done last week will shed some light on the whole situation. Maybe not?

Houston is such a little blessing. He is such a little ham. Talk about a sense of comedic timing...He has it for sure!

He is still in love with a little girl at school. He even sings sounds about her on his "Otar", that's guitar in Big Cheese....So far we can only make out my friend Addison, something sweet. He cracked us up the other day. He started singing... Jacop (Jacob) my friend is cooooooollllll. He was so proud.

Man, I dread going into work tomorrow. Lately I have been doing lots of data entry and man is it the pitts! I am so not a clerical type work.... Paralegal yes, asst. nope.

Hubby and I are trying our dramatic to stay to a budget...We need to pay off some of our massive medical bills. I feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. It is hard not to feel stuck in a job, when you know that when everyone in our family has major medical issues that keep you from getting immediate insurance. It really bites....In the worst way. We don't do a lot of things that cost money...Don't have expensive hobbies but still don't have a lot of disposable income. Mighty frustrating....But such is life. It could always be worse.

Oh on a brighter note. I don't know how many of you know that I have a brother that is truly a miracle. He has DiGeorge syndrome, which is an abnormality of the 22 Chromosome. He has a lot of serious medical problems...Including a heart defect he wasn't suppose to ever survive. My parents went with an experimental surgery and a few surgeries later here he is. Well he just turned 18 which is a huge milestone. He suffers from severe dyslexia due to the DiGeorge. He has a hard time reading etc. So it has always been a hard ordeal for him. He also has a speech impediment do to his medical condition.

Well my parents prayed for years that God would give him something that would make him feel special. Well God sure came through! My brother is moving to LA in June and is pursuing a music career! He is honestly the best guitar I have ever heard and is a great singer too and get this sings with no lisp. How is that possible....Anyway I just want to share some of my excitement for my baby brother who has achieved so much and is truly one of my heroes....

I know I am rambling but I haven't updated in a while.

Where oh where is my brain....

I swear alot of days I don't think I have one....LOL

I am having to hang out a work late because I left my purse with my house keys and garage door opener in it...on the coat rack...ugh.

I promise I will update more later tonight.

Oh and Houston is going to be starting speech soon!**Doing the cabbage patch!**

So much to do..so little time.

I have so much I needed to do tonight but no energy this no sleep thing is kicking my booty. I also think I am more tired because I am due for my immune system treatment and also because I haven't gotten to go to the Y this week :( I have worked out at home but with Hubby working late and ds sick it wasn't in the cards. I will hit the Y a few times this weekend though.

Praise God tomorrow is Friday. I can't wait to the weekend.. I would love to actually get to relax some....we will see how that goes.

Houston was a little ham tonight.He is beyond obsessed with anything musical. He played a Kazoo and his real little guitar for us all night. I think he needs to release a record;)

This not being able to sleep stuff...is the pitts....

Man, I wish I could just lay down and sleep. Insomnia is the pitts I tell you, the pitts.

Houston was being a ham tonight....he is loving the bad contestants on A I. He laughs and tries to mimic them.

Something I have noticed with ds speech...is besides his weird pronuncating,he subsitutes letters sometimes. Like the kid can't make a T sound...they become a C sound. We were a "hac" when it's cold. He loves "Cacs" not cats...you get the idea....very strange indeed.

I need to remember to take some snapshots of Houston tomorrow.It has been about a week...which is unheard of. Honestly, with him being sick I am in like Zombie mode.

Anyway, I will right more tomorrow when I can think clearly. Sorry in advance for the horrible spelling and grammar errors....For same!

Been a crazy couple of days...

Houston is getting over the "fever" ;P He had a mild little seizure the other night the best we could tell. We realized he was being quiet and then noticed he was making weird movements and his eyes were fixed and dilated.

I hope this higher dose of meds helps. I can't wait until these things are a distant memory.

I have been so freaking tired the last few days because I am watching him like a hawk at night. I can't wait till he is well again.

I need to clean when I get home but we will see how that pans out. Houston is such the weapon of mass destruction anyway. You clean it he trashes it.

Houston should be starting speech soon. Yay! He has gotten better with his talking but he is still behind.He couldn't hear for about a yr...lots of catching up. The seizures have slowed things down too. I can't wait until he is right where he needs to be.

I have been down about thing lately. I need to try to turn over a new leaf. I have tried just to turn if all over to God but hey I am still a work in progress.

I will write more tonight.

Here is the linky to my other now washed out blog.

Scarlet fever has me seeing red!

Poor Houston managed to catch it again. Thank God it seems to be a milder case each time.

We also had our neuro appt yesterday. They upped his dosage for now until they get the results of his eeg. So I will keep you all posted.

I will write more later.

Okay, Don't laugh

I had started another blog and was doing well keeping it updated and I'll be dang I totally spaced on the PW and can't remember which of my emails I registered with....can we say Dummy!?
