I think I have just lived through the toughest 6 weeks ever! My story all starts on Monday August 1st. Steve was upset and visiting his parents. I was alone with the kids, which doesn't bother me. I love any time we spend together. Steven asked  if I could take him somewhere. I agreed to. He grabbed the keys and left ahead of me. Abby was right behind him. The two of them hopped into the van

The other night I had a little breakdown. My day was fine, and I an mot exactly sure why I brokedown. I guess I needed it. I threw a few bowls and they smashed quite nicely on my ceramic floor! I had a bugger of a mess to clean up, but I didn't care. I think that I have so much to bear, and I should get it out more often, but just in a better fashion.

I was harassed by my landlord to allow them to put in a new heating/cooling system into my unit. I was resisting this whole idea because i was going to: 1) lose a bedroom, 2) lose space in my living room and my bedroom, 3) I DO NOT like my house in chaos. Darling hubby convinced me to allow the contractor to start his job in our house. According to the landlord/tenant act, I should have been

The other day Steve's legs stopped working. This does happen often when he gets a fever, even the smallest one. He was fighting a cold, so I think that's what did him in. I knew Steve was in rough shape, but was unprepared for what was coming our way. Steve went downstairs to play X-Box with Kieran and his friend Brandon. After about an hour, Steve asked for help to get upstairs. That is normal.

We did it! We had enough money and we went to the United States and had Steve's narrow veins opened! About six months ago there was a program on TV about Multiple Sclerosis. A Doctor Zamboni in Italy figured out that many people with Multiple Sclerosis have narrow veins in their neck which leads to a build up of iron in the brain which leads to many symptoms that mimic MS. This procedure is

The other night steve was sick and he and abby went to bed about 8 pm. Jacob and Steven went to bed around 10 pm. Kieran was in the garage playing his x-box. I got home around 11:15 from work. During 10 and 11, some kids broke into the house and stole my laptop. I am upset. It has all my pictures, documents, etc. It was also a macbook. I spent a lot of money for a good computer.

I know it has been a looonnnggg time since I have blogged. Life has been far too busy for me. I am hoping things calm down soon. But I doubt they will.  There is big news happening in our lives lately. There is a new operation called the Liberation Operation. As a result of studies, it appears that MS, rather than being a disease, is more likely a symptom of CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous

Christmas this year was a trying one for my children. I.had.to.work.Christmas.morning. I have a great job, but because a nursing home is a 24 hours facility, someone has to always be at work. The employees have to take turns working on Christmas. I was happy that I was working days, because at three o'clock I could come home, open presents and eat turkey. I know Jacob was hit the hardest.

A friend surprised me and Abby with tickets to see Disney Princess on Ice. We went with her and her daughter. My friend even drove! Talk about spoiling me!!!!!Abby was thrilled beyond belief to see all the princesses that she loves skating around the ice. Unfournately I brought the wrong lens and flash for the camera. My pictures did not turn out the best. You can take a look at them here.Thank

I remember growing up with the feeling that my parents were amazing, invincible, near perfect, organized, and always in control. I know for a fact now that I viewed my parents through rose coloured glasses but it was so very nice to grow up and to feel so secure with my parents. I never had to worry.Now that I am a parent I truly wonder how thick my rose coloured glasses were.I attempt to

I love this time of year for many reasons. The most important being Christmas and the birth of Christ. The second most important thing is all the craft sales and bazaars that this time of year brings!!!I keep a list handy for myself. Here is a copy of the list for anyone interested. Feel free to add any sales that I missed.Friday, October 16th, 2009 toSunday, October 18th, 2009 Location: GM

On the weekend we make the annual fall trip to Pingles Farm. It was a dairy farm that over time has converted to the present day bakery, greenhouse, market (Ontario grown produce, jarred goods, and giftware), wagon rides, play area, farm animals, bunnyville, and corn maze fun farm that we see today. The boys were so excited! The first stop for us was the corn maze. The maze takes approximately 45

Do you ever feel like life is just too busy? That there isnt enough hours in one day?I keep trying to figure out how to get more hours into my day.I tried to sleep less, but then I was granted with a two week long headache. I havn't been spending as much time on the computer and I havn't gone through withdrawl. I know my peeps on Twitter are missing me. Not sure what else there is to do. Oh well.

Was there ever a time when you just sit back and think Is this really my life? I had one of those moments the other day. My soon to be 16 year old son was sweeping the floor. He was wearing a t-shirt and boxers.(He had been watching tv wearing the snuggie) As he is sweeping he looks over to me and states that he is constipated. Poor boy.

I took abby to a Wee Wigglers program on Monday. This was our first time doing class like this. We were both a littel nervous. I felt like when I walked in everyone knew each other. I put on my smile and did not hesitate or waiver. Abby on the other hand waited for most of the class to go by before she would participate. The class that we attend was intended for children ages 2 months - 3 years

Yesterday morning when Abby woke up I bounded into her room. I was so excited to see her in the morning. After her initial excitidness, Abby proceeded to have a show and tell conversation with me.

We were invited to my aunt and uncles house for a family BBQ and croquet tournament. My Aunt Barb and Uncle Ken.The house was stunningly beautiful. The grounds were well maintained. There was a lot of room to play around in for the children. There was lots of family that I do not get to see often.We had games to play. I think some teams cheated....but we will debate that later.

I want you to know how much of a blessing you have been to me and your father. You came at a time in our life that was not expecting you. Let me start from the beginning.When I was first pregnant with your oldest

I was raised by my parents to be a stay at home mom. They would not let me go to college or university to further my education. I was taught how to be a mom. With four younger brothers and one younger sister around that was easy. I always envisioned myself working part time so that I could be home for my children. i had a grand ole life planned out. My husband would have a decent job, we owned a

From experience I am going to post how best to help people in need.1. Bring a meal or a gift card to a local restaurant.2. Send a grocery store gift cards and Gas certificates.3. Send a gift card to Wal Mart or Zellers.4. Visit. 5. Volunteer to clean the house, or hire an agency to do it.6. Cash works well. (then they can decide how best to utilize it)7. Help with a utility bill.8. Talk

Yesterday Abby didn't cry when I left for work. Usually there are many tears, accompanied by hugs and clinging. There is lots of noise and there is tons of heartbreak.It is not only hard for Abby, but it is so very hard for me. It takes everything I have to walk out that door. I even shed a tear in the process. But Tuesday was bittersweet. Daddy put Sesame Street on and had Abby crawl up into

We won four tickets to see Sesame Street Live in Toronto. The hard part was to decide which four got to go! Everyone wanted to go. (In what planet does an 11, 13 and 16 years old want to see sesame street live?)Here are some pics from the wonderful event.The CN Tower was beside the building that we were at.She is excited, but not quite sure as to why.

I am going to have to do it. I really don't want someone else to:do my laundry;wash my house; ortake care of my family.(Am i crazy?!?)I need to work full time to support the fam so I need help with my chores. I do not want to relinquish my duties as a mom at home. But I so need the help. Now begins the long process. I first have to make a doctor's appointment, make it around my schedule, take a

Soleil Moon Frye with the help of Ashton Kutcher went to Twitter to announce a contest offering free goods to a deserving mom.

What is the point of mother's day?My guys never do anything for me. They are all too self centered to think of someone else. At the last moment I always get "I am sorry" 's and a big hug. Daddy cannot do anything. I remember attempting to make my mom something unique and homemade (from the heart). She still has some of the pictures hanging on her walls! Is it because I am a girl and I have

As most of you know hubby has Multiple Sclerosis. He was diagnosed in 1990ish at the age of 19 years old. When we were married hubby had relapsing-remitting ms. The best way to describe this is like stairs. RRMS is characterized by clearly defined attacks followed by complete or partial recovery. This is the most common form of MS. Recently hubby was diagnosed with secondary-progressive . This is

Yesterday was my 16th wedding anniversary. I woke up around six am and was chatting with Steve. I asked him his evening went the night before and if he had any plans during the day. I had plans on taking him out for breakfast at this awesome breakfast restaurant. About 6:30 Steve looked over at me and said "I think Steven broke his arm". I was shocked that nobody said anything the day before, or

A clean house is the bain of my existence. My hubby's mom is a neat freak and her house is never ever messy. I guess Steve wants that from me. What a big shock when he got me!I have tried to keep a clean house. I have done a good until the last few years. Working with four kids just doesn't help. It is impossible to work full time, spend time with my family, try to get private time in, cook/make

One day off. I was going to have a quiet day enjoying my family. Spent the morning playing outside with the youngest two and Steve. Took Abby for lots of rides in her 'car'. She loves it. I only wish there was something for her feet to rest on.Steve wanted to get adventurous. He got out the wheelchair and wheeled around for quite a while. He was even being the resident bike mechanic!My neighbour

Madeline Alice Spohr Novemeber 11, 2007 - April 7, 2009It pains me to say this, but sweet smiling and beauatiful Maddie has passed away. Maddie was born prematurely and struggled to live. Unfournately after 17 months little Maddie lost her battle. Heather was doing the March of Dimes coming up April 25th. She had raised almost $3000, and after Maddie passed away she now has over $30,000. There

You can tell Spring is coming.I love the smells at this time of year.The sounds thrill the senses.Abby has been saying 'side, side' all day long. She is loving the freedom to walk around and to play ball. No boots, gloves or snow in her way. I have suddenly had the strong urge to deep clean my house. You can tell that we live in Canada. The weather channel says that it is 9 degrees out and people

While I am saving up money to fix my van, I will be driving Steve's Golf.This interesting car starts with a switch! I feel like a Nascar driver everytime I start the car. The car is also lowered. Sometimes I bottom out on the speed bumps in my complex. I will take a pic soon and post it. It will give you a good laugh.

Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS) also called Amniotic Constriction Band Syndrome is a set of congenital birth defects believed to be caused by entrapment of fetal parts (usually a limb or digits) in fibrous amniotic bands while in utero.In other words: Before the baby was born the body part(s) that was affected by ABS (arm, fingers, toes, etc.,) was caught up and entangled in string-like bands.

I was having a very bad day the other day.Number one...I knew my van had problems, but was not sure of the extent. Well....I needed new tires on the front of the van (I assumed that because the van swayed while we drove), the bearings on the wheels are toast, and the transmission has a leak. We spent $205 to get the new tires. We took the van to a mechanic to see what it cost to fix the other

I'm not complaining. Far from it. Maybe I want help. Not sure, but I am just venting.Single parent families get a lot of help from local agencies, churches, and government agencies. I was wondering about the families that fall into a gap. Families like mine that get forgotten and fall through the cracks. We are a single working income family. My hubby gets disability, but that does not even pay

So, my brother Brian will be getting married on Sunday. He is only 31. The boys have a P.A. day on Friday, so I figured that we would make a weekend of it. So, tomorrow morning, we are making the trek to Niagara Falls, we are going to the American side for shopping, dining, sight seeing, then sleeping in a hotel! What a treat! On Saturday we will do more sight seeing, swimming in hotel pool, then
