i am a mom/wife/textile designer gone haywire. I love to sing(music/arts AA degree), craft, exercise, and be goofy. Just living life outside the norm. And the norm thanks me for it. Oh yeah, and I like me some haikus. . . . . . . . . . What are we up to currently? Aaron recently started medical school at Ross University on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean, and the kids and I are along for the crazy ride :)

Prayers please

Saturday, April 23, 2011

Hey friends.  We could sure use your prayers right now.  We just found out last night that our sweet precious angel has Juvenile (type 1) Diabetes. This is going to be a trying experience for her. 
I noticed that she had lost weight (which I was hoping was a growth spurt) and that she was going to the bathroom a lot so I tested her blood sugar last night. 
The meter just read HI.  that's no good.  That means that her blood sugar was 700 or higher when it should be between 70 and 110.
Any support and encouragement you could give her would be wonderful.  Also, a little prayer for me to make it through these last weeks of finals and term papers while dealing with this would not be unappreciated :)
Thanks for reading :)

Tuesday, April 5, 2011


Holy Crudite (I want you to read that [crud-ite] not [crew dit ay] like ze french veggie platter.) The show opens this Friday! To quote my friend, who just said yesterday that she was stressed out of her freaking face, I'm stressed out of my freaking face! oh wait, that was a little redundant. I'm being a little repetative. I think I'm repeating myself.  a little.

Ok, honestly, that last paragraph was my brainmap at the moment.  With school, work, kids, spouse, carpooling 3x day, babysitters, homework, a psychology test tomorrow, and the play that is not ready, I'm a little jittery on the insides.....

However, I'm wearing a bright red polka dot dress with bright red high heels and I'm going to b-slap this day in the ear. Take that, Tuesday. I own you.

In addition to that insane rant, I'd like to exhort you all to attend the show this or next week and see me as Little Red Ridinghood and Aaron as Cinderella's Prince. He rocks it.  Just close your eyes when he's kissing the Baker's Wife if it makes you feel funky.  Really, this is such a fun show with amazing music by Steven Sonheim and everyone ought to see it once in their lifetime.  How's about this week? :)  See you all at the Theater!

Buy tickets at the door or HERE.
