I almost forgot

I can't beleive I almost forgot to blog today. I don't really have a whole lot to say. I have been sucked into reading a certain fic, and can't do much when I am focused on reading. I will leave you with pretty pictures.

HAPPY LABOR DAY!!

Today's blog will be pics of my nieces. (Funny story... I forgot to reset the date on my digital camera and so now all my pics from yesterday say 06/11/2005 instead of 09/05/2010.)

Busy day!!

Today was the birthday party for the 3 year old. So it has been a BUSY day. Still at my brother's until in the morning. Didn't want to miss a day in my blog.

My niece was so funny opening her presents. And the present I got her was a BIG hit. A play electric guitar. I was so excited that she LOVED it.

I have pics I will post after I get back home!!

Saturday is finally here!!

I am very excited that it is Saturday!! I started this blog so I could share a bit of the real me, but today I want to share the fic me. I have so many ideas running through my head. I have a current Instant Star fic that I am trying to get an update ready for. It's hard to get the emotions just right for this chapter. I hope to sit down in a bit and it will just come to me.

Then I have a twi fic that needs to be worked on. Plus two more ideas for AH fics. I just need the time to really sit down and write. But I am really self conscience about my writing because I don't get a whole lot of feed back. I know I will never have a award nominated fic, but I just want more reviews.

I better get to work.

Happy Friday.

Well, this has been a very long week, and I am glad I am at the last day. I need a good weekend to relax. And since Monday is Labor Day, I get a nice long 3 day weekend. I think I want to get some serious writing done this weekend. I have ideas running through my head that needs to be on paper.

As today's blog I was going to share some videos, but I can't embed youtube videos here, or I can't figure out how. BOO.

So I will just wish everyone a safe and happy weekend. If you live in the US have a nice holiday. 

I will still continue my blog through the weekend as NaBloPoMo!! #3 down!!

September 2nd

So today is my nieces 3rd birthday. Three years ago we weren't sure poor thing was even going to make it. First it took my sister in law forever to even get pregnant. She went through treatments for months before they had to do AI. To insure it took, they did two. They both took but the other baby only made it maybe 8 weeks. The whole pregnancy was high risk.

Reagan was born at 30 weeks and only weighed 2lbs and 15oz. Such a tiny little think.

Being early and small wasn't her only problem. She was born with Tracheoesophageal fistula: An abnormal passage between the esophagus and trachea. Also associated with Esophageal atresia: A incomplete formation of the esophagus. Luckily it could be fixed by surgery, but she had to get up to 4lbs before the operation. And afterwards she had to have a feeding tube in her stomach.

She was in LeBonheur Children's Medical Center in Memphis for over three months. On Nov. 22, 2007, the night before thanksgiving, the were able to bring her home. It was a difficult few months for them because the poor thing still couldn't get all her feedings through a bottle.

The first year was tough, but by her first birthday, you'd never know anything was wrong with her when she was born. You can't really even see the scar on her tummy where her tube used to be. She is a normal and happy little girl.

First Bday

2nd Bday

Sure the doctor's say she'll always cough more than other children and she came down with a case of pneumonia earlier this year. Today on her 3rd birthday she is our family's little miracle child. I always knew my mom was watching out for us. She wasn't ready to have her grand baby with her in heaven.

And by the way my brother and sister in law have an almost 6 month old now too. The had no complications with getting pregnant or other wise with the second baby. They are one lucky couple.

Bday party is Sunday. I'll post more pics next week.

HAPPY NaBloPoMo!!!

So it is national blog posting month. That means I need to to post everyday in the month of Sept. Let's see if I can do this. Of course I don't think anyone is reading this but we'll see.


So my last blog I said I would give more back ground on me in this post, so here we go. I was born and raised in a very small town in Tennessee. There is not a lot here, but we try to make the best of it. My parents did the best they could raising me and my brother. My mother passed away when I was 21. Some days it hurts like it was just yesterday. I still miss her with every fiber of my being.

I went to college about an hour away, so it was easy to get home to see my family. After my mom was gone, I hated coming home. After college I moved to Murfreesboro, TN for two years. I loved it there, but I had NO social life. I worked and sat at home in my apartment by myself every night. I ended up moving back home because I hated being 3 hours away from my dad.

So now for a little over 4 years, I have been back in my home town. I have the BEST group of friends. I actually have a decent social life. I don't know what I would do without the friends I have made in the last 4 years. Here's me with two of my bff's at my 30th bday party. They threw me one heck of a party, too.

I am single. Sometimes it drives me crazy, but I LOVE my independence. I don't know what I will do when I have to give that up.

Okay That is pretty much it for today. Tomorrow is my nieces 3rd bday. I will post some pics and tell you all about her then.
