I know I know..

Its been way to long between posts.... sorry! Where to begin.

Bailey has now had 3 consecutive days with no "askidents". HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she gets so excited when I ask her if she is dry and she says YES!

My Dad called me early the day after his heart attack from the ICU and said he could go home and asked if I could come pick him up. So I picked him up and found out that he has now been diagnosed with Diabetes. We went over too the diabetes clinic so that we could get him a glucometer and teach him how to test his sugars. Both the girls were horrified when he poked his finger. Through the next couple of days I watched my Dad go through the grieving process. grieving that he no longer that the freedom to eat what ever he wants. Being mad that he let it get so out of hand.. and slowly slip into acceptance and that its what he needs to get his health in order and be a much happier person. I have so much respect and admiration for that man!

In other news I am working an unheard of 5 days this week to hopefully earn money for stupid stupid car repairs.

That is all for now

well that sounds like good news all around. I hope that Bailey can keep up the good work! And that's too bad about your dad, but it sounds like he's going to be able to manage his health, and that'll be good. Good to hear from you!

The nice thing about blogging is that it's okay to space out your posts a little when you're busy - and you certainly have been.

Keep your chin up! We haven't had car problems (yet) this winter, but man, if the garage door breaks one more time...

I'm so glad to hear that your dad is doing a little bit better. He is sounding more and more like my dad whenever you post about him! Did you know my dad was diagnosed with diabetes as well? They should get re-aquainted.

I hate it when you can't eat whatever you want.
Chocolate + nursing baby = gas for baby and no sleep for mommy.
I'm glad that your dad is doing better.
And Bailey, oh, I could just squeeze her. She's so cute!
