Because Mermaids need water…

Posted by Amber On June - 30 - 20105 COMMENTS

So I walk into the bathroom this afternoon to find my child filling up a diaper disposal bag (read: newspaper bags that we use for diapers because they are perfect and someone gave me a WHOLE BUNCH of them!) with WATER.  I started to freak out and Troy said “No…………… ask her what she is [...]

Call me crazy… but we had a yard sale!

All of the kid’s clothing from baby to 3 years old are GONE.  Done… It would have been a little more emotional if I had not been still buried in boxes up to my eyes!  I want the space more than I wanted the “stuff”!  So I did it!  By Sunday I was selling clothing [...]

I keep trying to come back and blog consistently but life is SO entirely crazy right now that its ridiculously hard for me to find time to SHOWER let alone blog!  So.. what has life thrown at us since we last talked?  Well we are STILL renovating the house and getting my parent’s “condo” ready.  [...]

David had Goliath… Kyleigh had THE POTTY!

At some point along this journey, a doctor looked at the ground and shook his head.  I have actually seen this gesture a few times… heart surgery, another self-extubation, and the day that the Urologist told us that Kyleigh had less than a 3% chance of ever being continent on her own.  That was one [...]

The day the music (er… truck) died!

That day would be today.  Yes… my first car, that beautiful specimen of 1984 (and a half) Chevy S-10 will likely be headed to the junk yard soon.  It’s kind of sad to see it go.  We still use it a LOT to haul and it has moved our friends and family more time than [...]

Re-personalizing a space…

Posted by Amber On March - 15 - 20105 COMMENTS

Moving into the house I grew up in has presented its fair share of challenges.  The ONE thing I can say about our current house is that it was TOTALLY ours.  We had redone everything basically to the studs and it very much WORKED for us.  It did so, though, because we had put the [...]

Our tentative closing date is now final!  We will close on this house on March 25th at 5 pm.  As of 6 pm we will no longer own 1804 Hopemont Court and we will be on the road to becoming debt free!!!  Troy and I are so excited to begin this new phase of our [...]

Priorities.

I used to be the person who had it all.  The new car, the big house, the white picket fence (er… chain link fence)… I used to think that having and doing is what made you a “success” in life.  I was the person who had a NEED to achieve and accomplish anything that I [...]

So it begins, Kyleigh’s next medical journey.

I posted this on my facebook and for the sake of saving my aching fingers I am copying and pasting most of it.  If you read it there… feel free to skip it here! Yesterday was another “fun” day in Cincinnati. We had a day full of VCUG, Renal Scan, labs and appt with Dr. [...]
