I continue to have problems with my thyroid levels being too low, but the doctors telling me I'm fine.  I did some research on my own and realised that my symptoms are much deeper than I thought.  I have not found a doctor who is willing to work with me and a "new" medication.  It's been around for over 80 years, but most doctors don't want to ( Read more... )

I finally did facebook.  Got in contact with Paul Jobson again.  May go out next weekend.  We'll see... ha ha ha...  We were suppose to get together a couple of years ago but it never worked out.  Oh well.

For the past several months at least every other day we have to talk to Cora about where it is and is not okay to touch herself.  Just a few weeks ago I had to have a conversation about why it is not okay to put things in her vagina.  The only thing that got through to her was explaining that if she kept puting things in it she may hurt herself and ( Read more... )

Since Ian and I have the reproductive organs of rabbits, I thought that Mirena, a "low hormone IUD", was a god send.  Don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday, no more migraines, no more miscarriages on birth control, no more unplanned babies, no weight gain, clearer skin, and no periods!  Sounds like hitting the jack pot.  But wait, could ( Read more... )

Lately Cora has been having difficulty stopping what she is doing to go poo in the toliet.  So I came up with a song to help her remember.  Who knew years of writing poetry would help with potty training.  I decided to share it because it makes me laugh and to help commit it to memory.  It is sung to the tune of Brother John ( Read more... )

So the final phase of potty training was unlocking Cora's door to the bathroom, allowing her to use the potty whenever needed.  First night didn't go so bad.  First time she went in to use the bathroom, false alarm or practicing, not sure which.  Second time it was to tell Daddy he was silly and "forgot" to put Cora in her nightgown (it was a warm ( Read more... )

So at 3 years old, Cora has been potty training for a year and a half. Getting a little frustrated, I decided to find some potty training coloring pages. They are posted on the internet a suppose to help reinforce the potty idea. At my wits end and not knowing what else to do, I figure, what the fuck.

I found that there are many parents who are ( Read more... )

To tired to wrtie anything but wanted to just start again. Spent too much time trying to update look and feel. Still not there. But at least I have a voice again.

So it feels like years since I have written anything. Every time I have a few minutes to log on, I try to play catch up with what's going on with Erin and Heidi, and that's why I decided that instead of doing some reading today, I would just write for a few minutes ( Read more... )

The past few weeks have been so chaotic. Cora is finally over her cold and was able to return to her swim class this week. My parents decided to cancel their current maid service before confirming the rehire of their former service. My dad wants all our stuff in storage by the 15th since they finally decided that they do not want to share one ( Read more... )
