WOW!

Ok so lets start off with its been one heck of a year. I know I havent updated in a very long time but it is now time.

Lets start with after a lot of thought, tears, and mixed emotions Dee and I divorced. The kids and I moved to Tooele and he stayed in Rush Valley. We have all adjusted well and things are finally starting to work out for all of us. I finally after years of only working on the ambulance got a job which I love. I work at ATI which is a Titanium plant out in the middle of nowhere. I am doing Environmental and Safety stuff and work with a GREAT group of people.

Brady has started kindergarten and is in the all day class. I was a bit worried how he would adjust which ended up not being a problem. He is loving it and doing very well.

Maddie is well Maddie and all I can say is I'm going to be in trouble with that little one. She is alot like me so I will soon know what mom went through as I was growing up. She is still not wanting to talk which makes things a little difficult but we are getting along. She will be starting preschool next week after we meet the teacher and speech therapist.

Life has been full of up's and downs for the 3 of us but all in all we are doing well. Mommy has bad days sometimes but knows she has to stay strong for the kiddos, some days they where the only ones that kept me going. I have had great support from family and friends and while I have made a few bad decisions I know that they are what will make me a stronger person I have no regrets about anything except for allowing myself to be unhappy for so long it affected the kids and that was not fair to them.

So thanks to everyone who has been there for us. We love you all...

What a week!

So its been a crazy crazy week! Last Saturday was Maddies birthday so we had a combined party for her a Brady since his was the Tuesday after hers. It went well and the kids had a lot of fun playing with their cousins. Sunday had to work the day shift on the ambulance. When we where all at breakfast I got a call from Dee telling me that Maddie was not acting quit right, he said that she would not stay awake. I had him put her in the bath to see if that would make her feel a little better. He called me back a little while later and said that she was playing with her lagos and seem to be doing a little better he was even able to get her to eat a good breakfast. About an hour later I get another call from him saying that I need to come home because she just cant stay awake and he wants me to look at her. Well when I got home she was again sleeping and all in all had only been awake about an hour out of the day and by this point it was 1pm. I decided to take her to the ER just tom make sure she was ok. Well long story short her Blood Sugar was 51 (god only knows what it was before she ate). The doc decided that she would be admitted for the night so they could keep the IV running and to monitor her. All in all she did pretty good with it she did have a few tearful moments but for the most part was ok. Here is a picture that she wanted me to take she really was in a good mood but said that she could not smile because of her "OWIE".
We where realeased Monday night at about 5pm with no answers to what and why it happened but she was very very happy to be on her way home. Tuesday was Bradys 5th birthday and ofcourse his first day back to preschool since Christmas vacation and Maddie had a follow up with the Doc. The doc ran a few more test and is a little concerned with her A1C (I think thats what it is) it is borderline high and he now has us checking her blood sugar before and two hours after every meal to see how they are. Tuesday night was also my first night back to school since skills camp. I drove in to Tooele only to find that we had NO classroom! After 45 minutes of calling around we where told to go home and watch the archived video. Wednesday night I was back to work well while there I got a phone call from Brady at about 930 he said "Mommy I'm throwing up" Oh great is all I was thinking! when I got home at 630 Thursday morning I was met in the kitchen by Dee saying it has been a very bad night Brady was up every 30 minutes running to the bathroom! He also said that he felt very very sick to! So Thursday at our house was no fun with Dee and Brady fighting over the bathroom! Today has not been to bad Dee went back to work, the cat is at the vet getting fixed and declawed and well the kids are acting NORMAL which means a messy house and demanding children but I would not want it any other way!!
