Pump

So I wasn't planning on posting anything until my blog when private, but I am so excited about this that I couldn't resist!

I just got a phone call from the Animus Ping rep. We found out that the Princess' pump will be covered at 100%!!!! A pink one just might be on it's way in just a few days!

I CRIED!!!!! I am SUPER excited!

Hi again everyone!

Sorry about all this Junior High drama. It was something I didn't ask for but was thrown upon me. With a public blog I suppose that is putting my family in a vulnerable position. So yes, my blog is here again. But not for long. I will be making the change to private in one week from today. I will need email address of anyone that wants to view it (haters need not apply). Even if you are family I need to have an email address since many of you have more than 1 and I wouldn't know which one to use. You can leave a comment or send it to my email pittakgr at hotmail dot com. Thanks for being patient guys, I hate private blogs just like the next guy.

Dear Anonymous,

If you feel you need to cause problems, pack up your baggage and move somewhere else. If you feel you have something legit to say why are you hiding?

Struggle

See here's the thing, almost 1 year ago my hubby lost his job. I was so angry. Not at him, at the situation. This kind of thing seems to happen to us all the time. I figured that we were doing something wrong and that we were being punished. As the anniversary approaches I am getting a little emotional about it. Our situation now isn't much better then unemployment. Yes, he has a job...sort of. He was hired by our neighbor to do contract work. He gets paid by the hour and only when they need him. He doesn't get insurance, and since there really isn't a lot of hours for him this job really isn't stable. "Better than nothing" I tell myself every morning when I wake up. He keeps searching and applying for jobs right and left. But with the way this economy is there are a million others applying for that same job and he doesn't even get to an interview. It hasn't been easy and some times we wonder how much longer are we going to need to suffer?



When Princess was diagnosed with diabetes in November I thought "this is it! The final thing to push me over the edge!" What edge? My sanity edge. The edge that I had been clinging too for 5 months, trying so hard to not let go and fall to hit a bottom so far down that there was no coming back. I had to hold on though, I wasn't going down without a fight. A few months more down the road things still weren't improving and we were {this} close to loosing so much. I have tried to be strong. I have tried SO hard to learn what I need to learn and be stronger from all this. This last year of our lives has been very difficult.



But here I am! Stronger than ever! How did I get here? There has been so much gloom that I didn't see how I could be happy until this major trial is over. It isn't over, far from it actually, but I find something to smile about every day. We have come a long way and through all this I have really learned alot.

One of the biggest lessons that I have learned is that as long as I am doing all that I can to do what is right, and to better myself, I will be blessed for that. I have to be trusting that this is my chance to prove my valiance and that I am not alone in this trial. We have been blessed so much more than I feel deserving for. It will all be over someday. And when that someday comes I hope that I look at life in a different way. With eyes of gratitude I hope!

So here's to the lessons learned this last year. Let's hope that I learn it all this time around that later in life there won't be a second (er third I guess) round of this.

Very Inappropriate

Yet kinda funny!

My kids have been saying some things lately that I have to share. Why would I share the inappropriate things that my kids say you ask? Because I can't stop laughing about them. And from reading everyone else's blogs it looks like everyone needs a good laugh.

~~~
You know the song "So What" by Pink? Well, it came on the radio the other day and I heard Princess singing it all the rest of the day. She only was singing the chorus. Here is her version "So what! I'm still a rock star. I've got my rock BOOBS and I don't need you ..."

~~~
Little man pooped his pants and took of his diaper (again) so I was giving him a bath. While getting him out I hear a strange voice in my house talking to someone. I got Little Man out of the tub to go see who it was. I walk back to see that my cousin that lives down the street was walking in my back door with Little Dude. Come to find out they had a pretty interesting conversation while trying to find me. I guess she walked down the street and saw Dude in the front yard and asked where his mom and dad were. He said that we were in the back yard. They walked into the back yard but we weren't there. So he said oh maybe they are in the house. So they started to head inside. When they didn't see us right away he told her "Well, maybe they're making out!"

~~~
We had some friends over the other night to roast marshmallows in the fire pit. While sitting there Princess somehow blurted out that she thought it was funny that mom and dad had the door locked to their room early one morning while they talked about her birthday! Then she yells over to me "Mommy, why would you need to lock the door to talk about my birthday? Can't you just whisper?" Ok this one she didn't really catch onto, but EVERYONE ELSE sitting there totally did!

Gotta love kids!
