Bloggity Goodness
2007-08-01 15:56:00
My blog has been such a downer lately with my boo-hooing over my ailing dog and now the death of my nephew. I hope to post lighter and funnier stuff soon because I could really use some comic relief. For now I want to thank all my blogging friends for the outpouring of support I am receiving. The comments, emails, and info on dealing with grief is helping me navigate through this difficult time. Reading your blogs and the comments you leave me is what is getting me through the last couple of days. It helps busy my mind so I'm not dwelling on my grief. I really need that today because I'm having a harder time today than I did yesterday and it's only going to get harder over the next couple of days with the funeral. I wish I could climb into bed and sleep until this is all over and life is back to normal again. I just can't imagine what Jack's parents are going through. I look at my kids and think about not ever seeing their sweet faces again and it takes my breath away. Debbie e...

Heaven just got another angel
2007-07-31 15:23:00
Jack passed away at 1:30 this morning. I'm so very sad. Knowing I would have supportive comments to read is what got me out of bed today. Thank you my blogging friends.I haven't told the kids yet. I'm such a coward.Out of the blue this morning Madeline says, "I didn't like when so and so talked about us getting a new puppy after Sonny dies.""Why?" I asked."I don't want Sonny to die" she replied.This is going to be hard.

Why do children die?
2007-07-31 04:00:00
I'm back from BlogHer! I had a great weekend and lots of stories and photos to share but at the moment I am consumed with grief over my hubby's nephew. He is six and has battled leukemia since he was nine months old. He is currently losing his battle after two bone marrow transplants and numerous rounds of chemo. His family are holding a bedside vigil as they wait for this sweet little boy to sprout his angel wings and fly to heaven. Finally an end to his suffering. And you know what? I'm fucking pissed about it. He's just a baby and his body has been poison since the day he was born. I'm struggling to make sense of why this happens to children as my heart is breaking in a million pieces for his parents. He has been so brave, sweet, and amazing throughout it all. I'm so sorry little man. After all you've endured your time has come too soon.I must admit that I didn't think this day would come. I've known for months that there was nothing more that could be done for him other...

My heart has been touched by a sad and tragic story
2007-07-22 17:35:00
I have just read the most heartbreaking story of a family who just lost their six year old, Hannah in a drowning accident. My heart simply aches for this family. I do not know them and today was my first time to Hannah's mother's blog. I'm so touched by the love and strength of this family. Hannah's mother, Rachd has a beautiful and poignant way of expressing her pain and describing Hannah. Through her words, photos, and videos I feel like I know Hannah; a vibrant, sparkly little girl who loved flowers and all things girly. The family has asked those who attend her funeral to wear their fanciest Hannah clothes; tiaras, boas, sequins, and fairy wings. Their wish is to fill the funeral home with Hannah's spirit and rejoice in it. The beautiful thing is that I already feel Hannah's spirit spread through the blogosphere with all the comments, posts, thoughts and prayers for this family. I think we all will be hugging our children a little tighter. Please stop by and offer this fam...

Blog bling and linky love
2007-07-21 21:19:00
I'm a bit late with this post. But better late than never. Right? It seems that a few of you think that not only am I a rockin' awesome blogger but also a schmoozer.My good blogging friends Mert and Janet have awarded me this:I never thought of myself as a schmoozer. Quite the opposite. Ass kissing is not in my nature. I'm known for telling it like it is. But the blogosphere has a different definition:Schmoozing is the natural ability ?to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.? Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don?t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship.I'm honored that Mert...

In My Hood
2007-07-20 17:14:00
I'm afraid my Sonny Boy is going faster than expected. In the last few days I've noticed some swelling on the bridge of his nose which means the tumor is growing that fast. On a positive note he's still eating and will engage in play. He takes a dip in the pool every morning: We are assuming he's having pain and have started him on pain meds. We are doing our best to give him Doggie Heaven here on earth before he goes to the real one.I'm quite sad about losing our Sonny Boy so I pass the time with things that make me laugh. I recently watched the webisodes from In The Motherhood. I had been avoiding watching them because I was bitter that my story didn't get picked but I'm over it now. Have you seen them? They are hysterical! I can so relate. Episode 5 is my favorite but the airplane, chapstick, and poop incidents in the other episodes are also worthy of a mention. I love Kim's list of priorities to her hubby, Matt.Me timeFabric timeMatt timeI could so hang out with thes...

If you were a fly on my wall

Sex education at the Slacker house.While driving I noticed in my rear view mirror that Connor and Isabelle were trying to determine who had bigger nipples between the two of them.Connor: Mine are bigger now but when you grow up yours will get big so your baby can suck on them.Isabelle pulls out her swimsuit top to make it look like she has big boobs: Like this?Connor: Yeah and you'll get a big penis.Isabelle: No silly! I'm a girl. I'm going to have a hairy pee pee. Mom, why will I get hair on my pee pee?Me: Because we are mammals and mammals have hair. As you get older you will grow hair on your labia and under your arms. Connor will also grow hair...They were not at all impressed with my explanation. They fell into a fit of giggles about Connor growing a mustache.******************************** *******Madeline had a friend over and I overhear the friend ask Madeline if she wanted to play Spank The Monkey.I just about spit my Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper all over my computer sc...

It's Monday. A new week and I'm doing much better than last week. It's noon and I haven't cried once today about my precious, Sonny. That's quite an improvement! Thank you for all your support. The advice, comments, emails, and phone calls are very much appreciated. Sonny is feeling better from his procedure. The bleeding is minimal and he's eating well.Putting up with Marigrace's "loving"His face looks like that because he has a chronic allergy problem.He's still beautiful to us.************************************** ***Do you realize Blog Her is in 11 days? I've been so preoccupied with Sonny that I haven't given much thought to it. Now I'm panicking. From what I hear it's best to take business cards to BlogHer otherwise I will be writing my url on squares of toilet paper. I just ordered them and I'm hoping they will be here in time. I didn't do a typical business card. I chose to do something a little more unique and I hope others will find it as funny as I do. I'll ...

It's a tumor
2007-07-14 04:49:00
I'm so sad. Sonny, our beloved dog has a nasal tumor. He presented with a cough in March that did not respond to two rounds of antibiotics. Then around the end of May he started bleeding from the nose. He was put back on antibiotics and the bleeding stopped for about a week. We checked his blood counts, clotting factors, tick titres, and chest x-rays. Everything came back normal for an old dog. Skull x-rays showed a mass of some sort in the left side. I prayed that the mass was a fungus or infection but and MRI and rhinoscopy performed yesterday showed a tumor. I won't know until Monday when the biopsy comes back what kind of carcinoma we are dealing with. The tumor is very aggressive and quite large. Radiation may be an option. I was all for the radiation until I found out that the closest hospital that offers animal radiation is two hours away. That would mean we would have to leave Sonny at that hospital for at least four weeks. We could bring him home on weekends but with four...
