CRAZY TIMES! Gah!

So as you have noticed its been a while since I have posted on this blog! My life got crazy busy! I don't even remember the last time I posted! It must have been summertime because I remember something about tripping over box fans!

Let's see. My oldest daughter has a mood disorder so I have been trying different behavior programs to get her back on track to being my lovable little girl. But as luck would have it that lovable little girl disappeared for three weeks because her favorite teacher had to take medical leave to have her tonsils taken out and recuperate. Thankfully she came back and my lovable daughter came back too! Apparently she does not do well with change!

My middle daughter has been having trouble with her ears. She had a set of tubes put in August of 2011 (her second set) and last week, six months later, had to have those tubes replaced again! Her left ear is making us worry but we still have hope!

My youngest daughter, who I call the devil reincarnated, is an adrenaline junkie. She climbs higher than any other kid her age would. She is fearless and sassy! She definitely makes life interesting!

As for me I have noticed some change in my vision, a little decrease of the side vision and it worries me. I take each day at a time. I stare at each of my daughters to memorize their faces and commit to memory funny stories so I will never forget. I tell them to be strong and teach them to be independent. I love them with every fiber of my being and will probably cry for days the morning I wake up and can no longer see. But as I teach my daughters to be strong and independent I am working on this myself. I am there but we can always be stronger and independent!

The other day I told a friend I hadn't seen the stars in so long and missed them. I can only see the really bright stars which are really rare for me. Being night blind I don't go outside much to really look anymore. She surprised me with pictures of stars a few days later and I cried! It meant so much to me that she took the time to go out and take pictures of the stars for me to see.  I always say never take anything for granted but I definitely took for granted seeing stars! Then I realize losing my eyesight is part of my journey. If I tell my stories (and I always have a ton!) can show other people what I am going through and maybe give them hope then I shall share it! And this I promise to try to blog more! lol.
