YEP! Its me! I have been so very busy here lately its not even funny! I had a hard time this passed week with the monthly migraines due to the PMDD and well lets just say this the Sarafem is not working and the migraine this month was worse than it has ever been. I have never had one that lasted me 3 days but this one did. UGH! Before this, Keilyn was sick, we took her to allergy testing she was allergic to 49 out of the 50 items tested. Since she didnt' have any life threatening allergies, the doctor told us to just watch what she eats and what shes around and elimanate anything we see her really react to. So far that is shellfish and something outside. I am still trying to figure what got her so bad out side in the neighbors yard!. She does have seasonal allergies and is on Nasonex and a oral allergy med but so far its been 5 weeks since her last sinuse infection which is great since she was typically getting them every 3 weeks! My mom sold her house and is going through a divorce, one day she wants to buy her another small yard then next day she is crying she doesn't want to live alone. I have told her to move in with us and she is so undecided what to do about that. She hasnt' had kids around 24/7 in many years and is set in her ways. Well all I can say is she is welcome to come stay here and if she does she is going to get unstuck in her ways and get adjusted to having rowdy kids around 24/7. She actually found a place she really likes but she isnt' want to make the decision to buy it or not, she is so wishy washy and finally told me last night for me to make the decision for her. UMMMMM NO! I will not do that and if she is at the point where someone has to make the decsion for her and she is not 110% comfortable with making it herself then its not the right choice. She can move in here and if it doesn't work out, atleast she tried and will feel more comfortable making a decision with buying something. So here lately I feel like I have 3 kids to raise, two of my own and then my mother. Who knew my mother was so reliant on other people. I really always looked at her as being very independent but now I am seeing a whole other light!

So there's where I stand and when life calms down I will be back and going full force, life just seems to get in the way when I get to going good. When I do come back full force and life calms down my mom will be doing it with me!! And now that spring is coming we can get out more and walk!

Hope everyone is doing well! Oh Sharon, with my mom's move I think we may have decided to put a hold on the disney trip, but then again who knows!

Lynn, how is Donald doing??

Donna, congrats on the #7 and TAngo! You go girl!!

Teri, hope you are feeling well! How is everything going????

OK I have to work today so I need to get up and get busy with some things around here before I am off to work!

WOW Laurie, you've had a lot going on, yet you are holding you up. If you care for my opinion, you are doing the right thing by letting your mom make her own decision. She is still a strong woman, right now, this is a weak moment for her and it is probably hard to decide exactly what she wants to do especially if she didn't really favor the divorce. Right now, she probably just needs to talk, cry, talk, and cry some more. It seems that she wants to be near you, but not really in your home to burden you. Perhaps she could move closer to you and maybe rent a place with a short-term lease until she makes a decision on whether to buy or not. As nerve recking as it can be, continue to love her, be supportive and stay strong to keep Laurie sane. Blessings to the both of you.

Hi, I was reading about your bad migraines and wanted to share with you a product that DH uses. It is called MigraSpray and it works wonders. Anytime he feels a migraine even think of starting he uses a little of this and has no worries. I've used it on my migraines too and I can't believe how quickly it works. Just thought I'd let you know. http://www.migraspray.com/ I hope this helps you as much as it has helped us.

Laurie, your mother needs to go to a counselor for a little while. After my divorce, I went for 4 months and it was the best thing I could have done. Especially if she's not the one who asked for it. She should not be making any major life decisions right now. I highly recommend it.
