Who says an only child is missing out? My kid certainly doesn't think so. She informed me today during a snuggle session that she was glad she was an only child cause she didn't have to share my lap with anyone, lol. Way to look at the bright side of things.


She decided she was big enough to put herself to bed at night. All I do is listen to her read a story, then we sing a song together (usually child of mine, she lives that one), then I truck her in and go downstairs and she puts herself to bed.


This is awesome progress, considering until 1 year ago she was still sleeping in my bed, then she moved to her bed, but I had to sit on her bed with her until she was asleep, then I was able to go into my room until she was asleep, and now she has banished me downstairs. She's getting so big.


She had lost two teeth now as well, and according to get x rays at her dental checkup she had three more teeth under the gum line ready to pop up! She was never easy with the teeth, always did get them all at once lol.


Some days I feel like the new med regimen is helping, other days I don't. I guess some good days are better than none. Maybe this is a step in the right direction? I hope so!


mom is finally completely moved out of her house, and is now ready for the bank to take it back. My brothers Glenn and Gregg worked really hard the past three months to empty it out, move stuff to storage and move mom in with Auntie Robin. It's a little sad to see my childhood home become empty, and know that we no longer have it to call home. But its for the best, it's a really old house that's falling apart and mom definitely didn't need a place that big anymore. And it needed a lot of repairs.


Well it's getting late and I'm tired, so be well all...

So I saw my Rhuematologist the other day. She put me back on colchicine and added in 600mg of ibuprofen three times a day. So here's hoping it helps. I've forgotten what it was like to be able to walk and talk at the same time, to be able to breath, yawn, hiccup, sneeze, burp, cough or stretch without tons of pain.


I've been so exhausted lately, just flat out ready for a nap all the time.


Scott just got business impact player of the quarter at work. It's kind of like employee of the month I guess... Except the company wants to fly him out to Redmond WA for three days for a seminar and whatnot. Guess its a big deal or something. I'm proud of him, I really am, but I like having my nights with him. I hate when he works later and I don't get to unwind or decompress with him at the end of the night.


well be well all...

we went on a massive playdate on Wednesday after school. The other parents and I brought the kids to monkey Joe's in Danvers. It was awesome! I got to know the parents finally and I'm finally starting to feel like I belong. The kids ran around for 3 hours!! And all total, after food and admission in, it cost me less than $20. It was well worth the money to see Grace run around with her friends, and to finally be able to get to know the other parents. It was also great to hear the other parents tell me how great Grace is and that their kid adores her, and they talk about her all the time at home. It's nice to hear things like that from other people. I'm always nervous about sending her out in the world, and always ask myself if she's behaving, and using her manners, if she listens well to her teachers and other adults. So it was nice to hear the other parents tell me she's so good!


Easter was a big success as usual! The Easter Bunny sure knows how to treat my girl lol.


I forgot to pick up my plaquenal from the pharmacy, so I've been without it for a couple days now, and in all honesty I was shocked tonight when I yawned and didn't cry in pain. I've taken a few deep breaths as well with little pain. So now I ask, did I just found the source of my problem and why didn't anyone else think of it? I'm gonna give it a few more days and see how I do before I talk to my doctor.


well it's getting late, and I keep yawning, so I better go before I jinx myself and start hurting again lol.


Be well all
