Today I was scared to death and given my life history that doesn't happen all the time.
This morning I decided to go meet Heather for coffee. Skylar offered to watch Kaden, so I wouldn't have to run around chasing the Beast. After making breakfast for Kaden I decided to slip out without the normal I love you's a million times. Of all mornings, I didn't give Kaden and the other two countless hugs and kisses.
I hopped in the van, still putting on my makeup. Yes, I was running late...no surprise there. I met up with Heather and we ordered our drinks. I pulled my phone out of my purse like normal, just incase the kids had a question or needed me to tell them to quit fighting, shut up and make up with one another.
It had to have been less then 5 minutes into our conversation when my phone rang. It was Skylar yelling and crying at me that Kaden had fallen and hit his head. That he wasn't moving and he was scared. Mahala was screaming in the back and saying that he needed to call 911. OMG!!!! I was so freaked out and scared that It took all I had to gather my purse and tell Heather I had to go that Kaden had fallen. People, I Ran out of the door and across the same parking lot that just 10 minutes prior I had hobbled in pain from my van. In the whole year Skylar has been allowed to baby-sit he has never had to call me about an injury. I had never heard him upset and scared like that before. He'll be 15 in a few weeks and he is very responsible. So, I knew that whatever happened could have happened with anyone watching him, not just him. Why are our precious babies so fragile? Life, it's self is precious and beautiful.
After getting out of the parking lot and onto the main road I called him again. He said that Kaden was sitting up now and I could hear him crying in the background. Crying is a good thing I told him. I had him explain his activity to me until I was pulling into the driveway. Thank the Lord our town is small and I was roughly 4-5 minutes away.
When I walked into the house Skylar just fell apart. I took a quick look at Kaden and then tried to calm Skylar down. Skylar explained that Kaden was coloring at the table and fell off the chair onto the tile. Skylar was overwhelmed with the thought that something serious could have happened while he was babysitting. I tried to calm him down while checking Kaden's head and there wasn't even a bruise, praise God. Actually at that point Kaden was organizing slips of paper by color and telling Mahala what color they were. We are going to keep an eye on him for the next few days, just incase. I told the kids today we should stay on the carpet. :-)
Thankfully he was ok and I made a promise to myself. I promised that I would never sneak out again without those million I Love Yous wuth hugs and kisses again!!!!!!

Grass!
I'm dyed up to here! I'm pointing above my forehead right now, you just can't see because I'm on the floor begging for the Easter Bunny to take me with him.
What a day we have had. Filled with food, dye, baskets, grass and more grass. P.S. I will NEVER bye grass again. Those shimmery plastic strands are everywhere in my house.
I hope the bunny will stop by and leave a goody or two for my little ones, but who knows. He might walk in and look at the mess and decide it's a little too messy, even by his standards.
Everything aside, Tomorrow is Easter!!!! I have many wonderful memories of this Holiday. After church we are celebrating Easter with new friends of ours. They are a wonderful family and we all look forward to being with them.
Well, I have a few more eggs to fill and bows to tie. Happy Easter!

Sleep with the Fishes!
A few weeks ago we had another hamster die in our family. Let me correct myself....It was "Hamster Homicide"! Mahala went to feed the hamsters a few weeks ago and she screamed like "Freddy" was in the room with her. Skylar and I both ran in to check on her and that's when we saw bits of fuzz all over the counter.
It was nasty and amazing at the same time. I could not believe that one of the hamsters could eat the other. I mean that’s like waking up and finding out that Skylar ate Mahala.
Skylar gathered up a few of its remains and some left over fur and put it all in a cream cheese box. Mahala was emotional beyond words. All I could do was hold her and reassure her that he wasn’t in any pain now.
Skylar, the pain in the ass hat he can be thought Shadow should go out in style. So, as Mahala, Kaden and I started to walk down our stairs to go outside we all of a sudden hear G-N-R’s November Rain blaring. I’m surprised the neighbors didn’t call the cops.

Skylar cleared a path beside Hammy’s plot. He died like just a few months ago. We lowered the cream cheese box into the ground. Mahala placed rocks around it & made a head stone. Even Kaden paid his respects.
As the music played on, Skylar talked about making caution tape to line the Hamster cage. I thought it was too much and of course was accused of being a party poooooper. WHATEVER!!!
Mahala has decided that her next pet after Bolt dies should be a fish. When they die we can just flush them!!!!

No School in the Manic House
Right now I am digesting 3 slices of good old cheese and pepperoni pizza. I'm trying to work on my figure so I pulled myself away from the fourth. Yeah me!! Thanh is looking for a movie to go rent because it is movie night. That means popcorn, water with lemons, maybe some chocolate and a movie that hopefully wont embarrass me or put the kids to sleep. Actually putting the kids to sleep is not half bad. HA HA
I love family time. but tonight we are one down. Skylar is over at a friends house. I don't want to say that I get lonely when he's not here, but I do sort of. He will always be my baby boy, even if he will be 15 in a month. The house is quieter and Mahala is right under foot, not having her brother to pester and all. The day just wasn't the same, what else can I say.
Mahala and I did some really cool art projects together. And God bless her she helped me accomplish all of the clothes that has needed to be folded and put away forever!!! Since it was just her and I plus Kaden, I let her have the day off, so no school for her. She was very Pleased!!! Not only did she lounge in her PJ's and watch T.V off and on all day, but picked corn dogs for lunch and pizza for dinner. There's noooooooo dieting going on around here. But, tomorrow will be another day with hopefully less calories.

Sick of Sick
It's been a long week. Just FYI I am going to be all Blaaaaah, so please know that I have to go somewhere and let it all out. I try to be so strong for my kids. But, when the pain just wont stop and I feel so weak that I have to just lay on the floor it sucks. It doesn't just suck, it embarrasses me. Yesterday I couldn't go up the stairs, so I laid on the floor. I was just so weak, it was like someone had pulled the cord from the wall. Skylar asked what I needed him to do. I told him the floor made my back feel better. I could tell he knew better, but he just let me be. Days like today I move like I'm 80 with osteoporosis. I'm 33 and my mind tells me I'm 28.
I've been reading my second issue of Lupus Now Magazine the past few days. I love this magazine, I wish that I would have known it existed a long time ago. This issue talks a lot about having a full and rewarding life. Full and rewarding, those words today bring tears to my eyes. Because today all that I had to do for my family almost killed me. It sucks that I try so hard to be normal and do the things that are in my head that I want to do. but, my body stops me from living the way I want to live. I get so frustrated with myself for not having control.
Please just bare with me here because today I went to Sams and I made it in the store, but when we were walking back to the car I almost lost it. The pain wrapped it's tight, sharp hands around my knees and ankles. My elbows and hands were on fire and my head was full of black, hot sand. I was praying that I could just make it, God just get me to the car and then we'll go from there. My legs practically gave out from underneath me as I approached the van and leaned on it to catch my breath. And people I can't even get a handicap pass.
I know this is all in bits and pieces, because it is all just stuffed inside my little head. And even though I'm trying to vent I feel myself pushing the cork back in as I'm typing. Because no one could truly handle what I'm feeling right now. I can't, so the fire is just going to burn inside along with the pain and humility that I feel.
I'm going to try and finish dinner now. It's that bad today, I honestly do not know if I will be able to finish cooking alone. Thankfully Skylar and Mahala are so helpful to me. They are a blessing to me in so many ways. Tonight was casserole night, so they just need to make a salad and set the table. Thank goodness for casseroles and crock pots. Hugs to All

Emotions & Hormones
We are all crafted out and full of.....burgers. :-) Mahala ans the girls had a great time today, now they are trying to settle in for the night. Well, at least after they figure out how to clean up the broken glow sticks. Yes, the downstairs bathroom looks like a night club when the lights are out. We needed to fix it up a little any way.
Watching them together reminded me of my younger, Innocent years. I remember emotions would go up and down. One second we were friends talking about everything from pink toenails to science projects. Then the next we were threatening one another with ending the sleep over early. Emotions and hormones what a hurricane of craziness.
Parents would pop their heads in to check on us. On the surface it looked like we were just hanging out listening to tapes and flipping though Bop magazines. But, what was really going on was so much more. Hearing certain songs would bring us painfully through break ups. Hearing that he wasn't really that hot and that you are better off with out him would cause our emotions to flip flop and we would be off on a high.
When we were depressed we leaned on each other and would be able to fix problems that then seemed astronomical. Nothing else mattered just your circle of people. For me it was even more so, without having family. I had no ties to anyone or any place.

This & That
Right now I'm sitting here having breakfast between two squabbling siblings. I want to pop both of their heads off and enjoy the silence. But, instead I'm going to let them work it out on there own.
This morning has been a slow process. I'm swollen like a puffer fish and as weak as dollar store coffee. Late night with Kaden. And yesterday I started cleaning some old books in our garage which turned into Skylar and I cleaning out the garage. After the garage we decided to clean the van out. Thanh came home and was shocked! What got into the both of you. I told him that I had a burst of energy. And when the energy graces my body I take advantage of it.
With every roller coaster you go uuuuuuup and then dooooooooooown. So, to prepare for the down I took a few extra pills, had a healthy dinner with lots of water and went to bed early. I woke up feeling better then most days after heavy activity. So, that just confirms to me that I'm learning how to read my ever changing body signals. Go Me!
Today we need to finish up our school work and then get ready for the weekend. Mahala is having two friends over tomorrow. Of course I have a whole day of activities planned. We are going to have a cooking lesson, 2 craft activities and a scavenger hunt. Then one of her friends will be sleeping over and we are going to do facials and pedicures. Fun, fun, fun!!!!!!
Well, the heat between thing 1 and thing 2 has went from boiling to simmer. So, I think it's safe to mingle with the locals now. Write more soon.

Help Me find a Cure for My Disease...Please.
Most of you all know that I suffer from Lupus. I hate to say suffer, but I do. My whole family suffers.
Basically Lupus is when your immune system attacks your organs and body instead of all the bad viruses, bacterias and such that a healthy person's immune system would.
I'm in constant pain and most days I find myself thankful for just getting a bath ans my family fed on any givin' day. My joints swell sometimes to the point that I can't put on jeans or write because I can't hold a pencil. I have sores in my mouth from the methotrexate I have to take ( it's a form of Chemo). This is what suppresses my immune system, which also means I catch everyday illnesses easily. Mahala can get a cold and I will catch it. But it will turn into pneumonia and I may also develop a UTI or other sicknesses.
I have several autoimmune diseases as a result of my lupus. Rheumatoid arthritis is one of them. I take around 40 pills a day and some days I am so nauseous and tired that I home school from the couch or bed. I am very thankful for my good days, every morning when I open my eyes I slowly draw in my first conscious breath. I pray that I can move and get through the day. I pray to be able to have a "normal" day with my children. And when I can't and Thanh has to help me to the bathroom or when I just can't make it at all, I pray for another chance. Another chance for my body to get it right the next time.
Did you know that it has been over 50 years since there has been any advancements in the medical world regarding Lupus? No new treatments or drugs. That makes me cry and makes me fearful. It makes me feel hollow inside, like I'm lost and never to be found. I want to scream!!!!!! We are dying here people, help us pleeeeeeeease!!! Our children are going to be Motherless and Fatherless!! We are in pain and full of fear just praying for relief and comfort.

Red Mustache & Painted Toenails
I'm bored, so I thought I would take a trip down memory lane. Keep arms and feet inside the vehicle at all times. And no chewing gum!
Skylar is feeling so much better now. His throat is healing well. And he is eating just about everything that he wants to eat. While he was all broken up I thought it would be fun to tell him some " when I was....."stories.
So, when I had my tonsils and adenoids out besides the hell fire in my throat I remember the tomato soup incident.
Picture this with me- Poor young girl struggling to breath and swallow. Needing nourishment and love to survive yet another day. I was hanging on by a thread and the thread was worn thin.
Can you picture that? Can you? Okay, some of that was true I swear. But, there was a ton of super Mario playing and endless ice cream bowls filled to the brim. Oh, and let's not forget about Kraft's Mac N cheese. My gut was so full of fake pasta and powdered cheese there was no way I was going to die from starvation.
So, anyway the lady I was staying with at the time had made me a little lunchy pooh one day. *Flash Back*I had my operation when I was 14, so my parents had already died and I was living with my 2nd family at that time.
Back to the little lunchy pooh. She had made me soup. Hot, thick, nasty tomato soup. I smiled and retrieved the Big bowl from her. And tried to look impressed and gracious. My brain went into over drive. What can I do to get rid of this mess. What are my options. I thought about the bathroom first. But, I was weak and maybe she would notice me walking down the hall. Or the pipes could clog up with it's nastiness! I thought about lifting the carpet and putting it under the pad. I know.....crazy, I was 14 on pain pills cut me some slack. And then I saw her scrawny miniature poodle sway into the room with it's little painted toenails. I never really liked that dog. JACKPOT!!!! Come here little darling!!!!!
She of coursed hopped on the bed and started sniffing the red mess. Her little tongue licked at it slow at first and then she was excited. I guess it must be better then puppy kibble. I noticed a little gagging going on and I took the bowl from her. And as if God was trying to punish me I noticed the dog had a RED mustache. WHY......LORD WHY!!!!!!
I tried to wipe it's little mouth clean and gave up because I was woosie. At this point I was tired and I looked on the floor where this particular house had it vents. I always thought it was weird to have vents in the floor instead of in the ceiling. But, that day I was happy. I went over and poured it down the vent. TA Da I thought, all gone. I was bad, what can I say. Thank goodness we grow up. Now I have to pray my kids aren't as bad as I was.
Skylar is feeling so much better now. His throat is healing well. And he is eating just about everything that he wants to eat. While he was all broken up I thought it would be fun to tell him some " when I was....."stories.
So, when I had my tonsils and adenoids out besides the hell fire in my throat I remember the tomato soup incident.
Picture this with me- Poor young girl struggling to breath and swallow. Needing nourishment and love to survive yet another day. I was hanging on by a thread and the thread was worn thin.
Can you picture that? Can you? Okay, some of that was true I swear. But, there was a ton of super Mario playing and endless ice cream bowls filled to the brim. Oh, and let's not forget about Kraft's Mac N cheese. My gut was so full of fake pasta and powdered cheese there was no way I was going to die from starvation.
So, anyway the lady I was staying with at the time had made me a little lunchy pooh one day. *Flash Back*I had my operation when I was 14, so my parents had already died and I was living with my 2nd family at that time.
Back to the little lunchy pooh. She had made me soup. Hot, thick, nasty tomato soup. I smiled and retrieved the Big bowl from her. And tried to look impressed and gracious. My brain went into over drive. What can I do to get rid of this mess. What are my options. I thought about the bathroom first. But, I was weak and maybe she would notice me walking down the hall. Or the pipes could clog up with it's nastiness! I thought about lifting the carpet and putting it under the pad. I know.....crazy, I was 14 on pain pills cut me some slack. And then I saw her scrawny miniature poodle sway into the room with it's little painted toenails. I never really liked that dog. JACKPOT!!!! Come here little darling!!!!!
She of coursed hopped on the bed and started sniffing the red mess. Her little tongue licked at it slow at first and then she was excited. I guess it must be better then puppy kibble. I noticed a little gagging going on and I took the bowl from her. And as if God was trying to punish me I noticed the dog had a RED mustache. WHY......LORD WHY!!!!!!
