Poor little Brit realized something today. No running on travertine tiled floors. OUCH!

Wow! Time flies. Life's been busy around here. As you can see blogging has slipped down on my priority list (I've got lots of catching up to do). I've been out for a while due to health issues. These UTI's started coming around every two weeks. This has been a true test for me. My sweet husband started doing research. At one point he said, "I'll fly you to the other side of the world if I have to, to find a Doctor that can help treat this problem." He loves me! This last year I've had every kind of test known to man done on me and everything turns out "looking good" as the Doctors would say. This has been great news but frustrating at the same time because I continued to be in constant pain. Through my husbands dedication and research he found a Vulvar clinic (who knew there was such a thing) These specialists are very knowledgeable with issues that quite frankly, gyno's have no clue about. These specialists are few in number. No...

Yesterday the school nurse called to say that my daughter was complaining of a belly ache but had no fever or other signs of sickness. After speaking to Bree I felt that she could make the last hour of school. I assured her that I would be there early, waiting in the parking lot just in case she got any worse. I didn't receive another call and she didn't come out early. But as soon as I saw her I knew she wasn't her normal self. This youngster gets super cranky when she's not feeling well. And I made myself available to listen to everyone of her complaints. Later that evening when I expressed that I wasn't feeling so good and might be coming down with something myself, this same little girl threw her arms around me and said, "I'm so sorry that I was whining to you about everything. If I knew you were sick I wouldn't have. If you need someone to complain to, I'll listen!" I felt honored that she was so willing to be there for her mother. And wa...

After spending several hours past midnight in a nearby ER room, suffering from a UTI AGAIN and feeling pain that was so awful I can only describe it as “bone-chilling” I was extremely uncomfortable and exhausted. When I returned home I took a dose of medication and tried to get some sleep, despite the constant trips to the bathroom, and what seemed to be hours of nausea. By morning, word had quickly spread that MOM WASN'T FEELING WELL and my darling troops went right to work. What a surprise when I walked out of my bedroom to find that… My oldest son Nathan had made pancakes for the family The girls were in the middle of washing the breakfast dishes Wesley had already folded all the laundry And my wonderful husband had just returned from getting my prescriptions filled. After a full day of my family serving me, I feel so taken care of and so loved that I believe my heart has tripled in size. How lucky I am to have 6 special someone’s in my life. So a BIG thank you to such a w...
