Okay, I know that I have enough of my own drama in my life that I don't need to feed off of others drama, but when its FAKE then I'm all ears. Seriously, for as much as I have always hated Soap Opera's, I sure love them now. Yea, I know that they are a bunch of crap but it makes me feel better even if just imagining that someone else's life is tangled in more lies, deceit, betrayal, murder, gossip, cheating, fraudulent, and more down right appalling than mine is!! Maybe that is crude of me, but dang, these Daytime shows can be quite interesting.
When I say Redneck Soap, I mean look at the stories ex: Harold and Peggy were the perfect married couple, then Peggy fell for Harold's brother Ted. Peggy sleeps with Ted and he secretly Fathers her son Ken. Harold raises Ken as his own son when in fact, its his nephew. Then she breaks the news to Harold that Ken is Ted's son. Harold files for divorce and to get even he sleeps with Janette, Peggy's sister, they marry and have a son named Nick. Peggy marries Ted and they have another son named Jack. After both original couples were married to new spouces for two years, they fall back in love and have a love child that Ted thinks is his and its really Harolds. That child is Olivia. Ted and Peggy divorce when Olivia was 16. During all those years between Olivia's birth and Peggy and Ted's divorce, Peggy fails to tell Ted that Olivia isn't his and she also fails to tell Harold that he is Olivia's Father. Harold and Janette divorce somewhere along the way and he ends up in bed with his secretary Penelope. Him and Penelope shag for a few months while he is seeing Peggy once again. But that is okay because Peggy is doing "it" with the Italian Gardner Rico. Olivia goes to college and meets a sexy stunning young man and they fall in love. Next thing you know she runs home to Mom and tells her that she is pregnant and that her and the baby's Father want to get married. Peggy and Ted are delighted that she is happy and they meet the Fiance just to find out is her half BROTHER Nick. Then she has to break the silence and tell Ted that Olivia is Harolds and by this time Olivia is disgusted with her Mother, Father and her own gross tangled relationship with Nick. Now here is the REAL question......... Will Olivia's baby be deformed??? To be continued.....................................
Okay, I am not going to lie, that was WAY too confusing to even type, so I hope that it made sense. I just love these Redneck Soaps where everyone and anybody who's somebody's Spouce sleeps with everyone and creates mind pondering offspring! (lmao) Phew... what is in store for tomorrow!! I better go to bed so I can wake up and find out! LOL. Hope that everyone had a GREAT day! :)

I want to thank each one of you that said prayers for him, he surely needed them! Prayer is so powerful and you are all so amazing to say them for him. Thank you!!!!

My night of sobbing.
So, my son Corbin has had a toothache for 3 days now and on Saturday night his face started to swell. He had surgery to fix all the cavities in May and now I think one is abscessing. His fevers are scary and he has hardly eaten. So, today I took him to the Hospital to get him some antibiotics. While we were there, I saw someone that I have known for most of my life, she came in with her son. I was trying to keep Corbin talking so that he didn't think about being in the E.R. Next thing I know I hear the other little boy crying, wanting to leave the Hospital. Corbin started getting antsy, you know, like any other kid would and started crying telling me that the Dr was taking too long and that he wanted to go home. I kept calming him down, but the other little boys cries were overwhelming him. He asked me why he was crying and I just told him that I didn't know. I felt so bad for the little boy, but I kept reassuring Corbin that he was okay and was probably just scared.
As a parent you fear that something worse is wrong with your child than there really is. I was laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy with my Husband tonight and I was watching the episode where a little boy was dying from organ failure and that a criminal that was on death row and dying in the hospital wanted to give the boy his organs. At the last minute he was saved by a different person that was a match. I know that I am a Mother and seeing something like that just makes me teary eyed, as I know that I am not the only one out there that cries at the drop of a hat when it comes to someone dying, fake or real. I never want to live what other parents have had to live through, by losing a child. Yes, my son only has a dental emergency but infections can also be dangerous. I was emotional about it.
I decided, after the show ended that I wanted to check my Facebook and so on. As I was scrolling down the most recent feed, I noticed that the person that I had seen in the E.R. had left a status that her little boy was life flighted to a Children's Hospital up North for Kidney failure. I have been crying ever since. I keep thinking about him crying and about Corbin's concern for him and I just fell apart. After watching that show and reading what she wrote, and worrying for my own son, I felt compelled to ask anyone that is reading this Blog, to please take a few minutes and pray for this sweet little boy. He and his family need our thoughts and prayers at this time. Her little boy is only about 4 years old.... he needs all he can get.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this... and thank you in advance for any and all prayers, I'm sure his family would be grateful. I hope that everyone has a safe 4th of July.

Scrapbook frames
These are just some Scrapbook pages that I made into frames. They are so much fun to make!!
The first three are the first ones that I did. I did them in 2008
These next three are all new ones that I did a few weeks ago. I still have some finishing to do but I like them so far. :)

My Medical Mystery??
So, for almost two years now I have had severe head problems. No, I am not crazy in the head lol. In lame-mans terms, a migraine. Even though I am not yet diagnosed with anything yet, my possibilities are, Cluster Headaches, MS and something to do with spinal fluid. My only diagnosis so far is from an MRI that I had done in Feb 2010, which shows that I have swelling in my Left Temporal Lobe.
How it started:
My first marriage was nothing nice and our last "physical" fight ended with my head bouncing off the wall of my bedroom. That was May 21, 2009. My head hurt for two days and then went away, problem solved... or so I thought.
I went on Vacation to Vegas on July 9, 2009 to which I ended short due to 'him' taking off with my kids. About a week and a half after returning, I started getting light migraines. I got them 2-3 times a day. On July 24th I got my first BIG migraine. When I say BIG, I mean HUGE! I had that migraine for 10 months. Yes, it was ONE migraine. No matter what I did, it wouldn't go away. I had finally started seeing a Dr for the pain in January 2010 with no relief in sight. In December 2009, I started getting a cold, it lasted two weeks then went away for two weeks, then returned and kept happening til the last week of May 2010. Finally, in May 2010, I went through what my Neurologist said was a form of remission. There was no telling how long I could go without having another one.
In August 2010, I started getting them about once or twice a week but they weren't extreme ones. In January 2011 I started getting bad headaches that literally left me in bed. I couldn't go anywhere. I went to the Dr. and he checked my blood and told me that he was scheduling me for another MRI. My blood tests showed high results in inflammation and my white cell count was up. I had another MRI and they reported that there were no changes from my MRI in 2009.
No relation to the subject, but I re-married during this time.
Last Wednesday, June 1, I started getting a migraine and thought nothing of it. I was already treating a toothache the day before, so I would just keep taking IBU and hopefully it would keep the edge off. By 7 Thursday night it was a NASTY cluster headache. I was in so much pain Friday and Saturday. By Saturday afternoon I was pacing the floor ready to throw up, which never has happened with the headaches before. I am a person who has Emetophobia, a fear of vomiting. Silly, I know, but I am terrified of it. I have thrown up 2 times in 17 years! I am pretty good at stopping it from happening. Well I failed miserably on Saturday. I had no food in my system for 24 hours. I made myself throw up at that point. To my shock, it was all blood. That was the last straw! To the ER I went.
They ran a blood test and the presiding Dr said that my white cells were slightly elevated from the last test and that I was anemic. He gave me two shots, one was two meds, Nubain and a anit-nausea medication and then an antibiotic. He prescribed Ondansetron for nausea (it made me sick), Tylenol 3 for pain, Omeprazolan Antacid for the blood, and a very pricy anti-inflammatory med that I couldn't afford. He said that if this stuff isn't helpful then he wants me to come back for a scan. (you could imagine my immediate joy considering I have no health insurance).
I finally got sleep for the first time since Saturday night, last night. I still hurt, but the mystery goes on. For now, I hope to be heading into remission soon!!!!!! (and I hope it lasts a while!)

Healing the thumb sucker!
Healing my poor Thumb sucker!!
I know what happens to your teeth when you suck your thumb. I had a cousin that had that terrible habit for many years and it damaged her smile! She had to have braces to correct it. So I thought, What if I look up pictures on Google of what happens to your teeth when you suck your thumb and show them to Emma? I wasn't sure what the outcome would be. The pics were nasty and I worried that at 5 years old, it might be too traumatic for her. I am providing this link HERE to give you an example of what I saw.
I thought about whether or not to do it for about an hour or so. Emma came into the living room and I saw her thumb in her mouth and that was it, my decision was made! I told Emma what I was going to show her and she didn't wanna see them. I told her that it was really important that I show her what can happen. She agreed to look at them. When I showed her she was utterly disgusted! With each new picture she just gasped. I showed her the pictures of what the teeth looked like AND pictures of what can happen to your thumb from sucking on it. Emma has Eczema from sucking her thumb. Examples of what it looks like are HERE and HERE. Emma left the room in a hurry and ran to the bathroom. After a minute or two she came back in, covering her mouth and teary eyed. I asked her what was wrong. She told me that she ruined herself. I asked her what she meant and she lowered her hand and smiled so I could see her teeth. Sure enough she had a hollowed horizontal oval shape between the top and bottom teeth where her teeth should meet. I told her that she didn't ruin herself. I told her that she still has baby teeth and if she stops now, then we have a better chance of fixing it sooner. She said that she didn't want ugly teeth or sore thumbs anymore!
Needless to say, she hasn't sucked her thumb since!! I give myself a pat on the back for this one. I really thought maybe it wasn't a good idea, but it turned out better than I had imagined! I am so proud of her for making that choice to stop on her own. Even though I helped, she could have just kept doing it.
My next objective: Healing the 'Finger" sucker! Corbin is next :)
