PSA for Team Challenge/Crohns & Colitis Foundation

Please help my friend Emily raise $5k for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America. Emily has to decide this week whether to make final commitment to the Team Challenge/Crohns & Colitis Foundation half marathon and fund-raising. If she can raise the remainder of the money she needs to make her goal of $5k, she [...]

Blah.

I have a cold and I feel rotten. I woke up in the night with a runny nose and that has since escalated. My eyes are watery, my  nose is pouring buckets, my sinuses are like pressure chambers, my head aches, my body aches, I’m feverish and…just…UGH. This came out of nowhere too. I did [...]

Is it naptime yet?!

{{{Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn}}
Well, Mariana didn’t have a great night last night. That, of course, means neither did I. Not sure what was exactly wrong, but she didn’t sleep well. She woke up fussing/crying quite a few times through the night. She was a touch more congested than she had been, so maybe that was it.  I seem [...]

Saturday Morning Update…

Good morning!
It is now around 7:40am on this gray Saturday and our household has been stirring for about an hour and a half. {{{YAWN}}} When do kids learn to sleep late anyway?!
I am happy to report that Mariana is doing very well. She is of great spirit and has regained I’d say about [...]

Update on Mariana…

Mariana’s surgery was this morning. I am happy to report that she has been home since around 12:45pm (EST) today and is really doing quite well.
Mariana was such a little trooper today. Seriously, a rock star patient! She couldn’t eat anything this morning and she only had a little bit of apple juice prior to [...]

A Rainy Day in Georgia…

Check this out – it’s our current weather radar:

Looks like we’re in for some unpredictable, but WET, weather today. We really need the rain (always!), but hopefully it won’t get too bad as far as storms. We’ll see. It’s actually supposed to rain through Saturday, I believe. Maybe it’s time I invested in some rain [...]

Our Recent Happenings…

Before I post about what is going on in our family lately, I am once again going to point readers over to MckMama’s blog called My Charming Kids. Sweet baby Stellan (aka MckMuffin) is still in need of prayer. So is his family. Please lift up this precious baby boy and those that love him.
In [...]

Need…coffee…NOW!

Ugh. Woke up with a headache this morning. Not a full blown headache, but just enough of one to take a little bit out of me today. The weather is changing again, so the barometric pressure is doing a number on my sinuses. Fun times. Blurgh. Once again I suppose I should not complain because, [...]

Early Release Day

It’s early release day for our public schools. That means Miss Macey will be coming home early today. Yay!! Actually, I plan to pick her up even before the regular release time so that we can have lunch together as a family. On early release days, they still feed the students lunch, only they move [...]

More sickies…

Macey is just getting over a bout with “the crud.” Last week she didn’t feel well and the pediatrician diagnosed her with an ear infection and sinus infection. She missed two days of school and just felt terrible. Well, instead of getting better once she was on medication, she progressively got worse. Both ears were [...]
