A friend found the best breast cancer awareness button that says, "Save second base!"
I think I need to get some pink t-shirts and print this slogan on them; right across the chest!!
I think I will:)!!
I have a button that my friend Erin gave me when I was 16, it says, "They may be little, but they are all mine!"
The second button once applied but the first one does now!
I'm all for second base even if I don't actually have one anymore.
Actually, I'm all about hitting the ball out of the park, personally:)!!!

1,2,3,4...down for the count:(
My shingles are getting worse before they get better. I'm exhausted and experiencing pains across my back, along my shoulder, down my arm, up my neck and down to my butt. It's crazy that a relatively small rash can cause so much nerve pain. I don't know that I've been able to get enough sleep; the pain makes it hard to sleep.
Chris has now ended up with the vomit flu that Carmelle had last week, only Chris has it worse; for the last 24 hours anyway.
Cadence has the flu as well.
Carmelle had two teeth pulled today, because the adult ones are growing in behind. She had a cavity that had to be done at the same time, and it was really bad she had to have the child's equivilant of a root canal. She cried and sometimes screamed for almost an hour. She did do what she had to do, but didn't like it one bit:(
I came home tense, with a headache and so tired. We all sacked out watching movies, so I didn't have to work to hard taking care of everyone. We'd hoped to have a babysitter help, but I guess she picked up the stomach flu when she was here last week, and was too sick to come and help today:(
Hoping we are all up and running soon and that the tooth-fairy doesn't forget to arrive tonight!!

Loving words from my husband of 11 years:)
Happy Anniversary to us! 11 years later, and my beautiful bride is still my beautiful bride, albeit now with a few "badges of honor" that proclaim her victory over hardship and struggle, each of them just another reason to love her more. And each struggle we have both endured has forced us to dig deeper, to feel more passionately, to judge more wisely, and with each has increased our capacity to love. Love you hon :)
Crazy 24 hours...
In 24 hours...
Carmelle was to have her last day of kindergarten but took to puking instead, poor thing missed her last day of school:(
WE heard of the passing of Farrah Fawcett, the picture of beauty for an entire generation, who lost her life to the horrid disease of which I'm all to familiar...cancer.
Even more shocking was to hear of the sudden death of the world's biggest super-star, Micheal Jackson. We will remember him as a musical genius and father of three.
My shingles became much more painful than I expected, I went to the Dr. and was prescribed a pain medication especially designed for nerve pain. I was finally able to sleep, as the night before I was keep awake from the shingles pain on the right side of my back.
Today, the 26th of June 2009, is our 11th wedding anniversary. We tried our best to celebrate today with some gifts and opening our wedding time capsule for the first time in 11 years.We had a family picnic on the lawn for dinner, but other than that I was laying on the couch feeling crappy, chris was working and Jessyca and her mom took the girls to their place during the day.
I am currently watching the special that Farrah Fawcett about her journey and fight with cancer. I can relate to so much of what she is sharing and experiencing. As I watch I hope and pray that I will never know her part of reccurance, stage 4 cancer,a terminal diagnosis and now death.
I'm camping out on the couch on a mission to rest and get well...and starting to watch "Confessions of a Shopaholic" again.

New shingles...and not just the kind for the roof.
So we've found out that it's about $12,000 to have our roof done this summer with new shingles; and it's $100 for the anti-viral medication to treat the shingles rash growing on my back!! Both not great news:( but our reality.
I haven't been feeling very well. I thought it was due to asthma and allergies, which I've also been dealing with at the same time. The pain in my back I thought was from all my back problems and from waitressing; though this was a different kins of pain. It's nerve pain that apparently can get quite bad. About two days ago I noticed an odd rash on the right side of my back and down my spine. I thought it was hives, an allergy reaction; only benadryl didn't work.
Then I went for dinner with a couple friends I haven't seen for awhile last night, and one of them had just gotten over having shingles. While driving home I wondered if that's what my rash might be. This morning I looked it up on line and saw that the rash looked and sounded exactly the same. Then this friend told me that the first 72 hours are the most important for treatment. I hope I've gotten the drugs in time.I think it's been just over 48 hours since the rash started, but it's on my back and not where I can see it.
I've booked of the next two weeks off of work. Hopefully I'll be feeling much better by then. If I've caught it late then I could suffer from the nerve pain, aches and rash for many more weeks.
I'm feeling rather discouraged. I can't believe there's another physical set back. I've been feeling so good about moving forward and putting what I thought was the worst behind me. I'm frustrated as I feel so tired, sore and overwhelmed. This is not how I wanted to start my summer:(
Trying not to scratch,

Not only me
So I have been told
through riddles of old,
that life can be cold
and to watch out for the mold.
But I prefer to see
the warmth in me;
and not to pay a fee
for someone else to hold my key.
The key to my heart;
the place to find a new start.
I will always do my part
and see my existence as art.
Art can never be wrong,
it's in the eye of the beholder.
Whether it's paint, clay or song,
I'm in the hands of the eternal molder.
Mold me, change me;
will forever be my plea.
In the rough waters of the sea;
It's never only me, it is "we".
