Again

Again, I apologize for my lack of presence.  Seems to be a theme here lately.  I've been busy with summer fun going on.  Here's a little smattering of what we are now beginning to enjoy.  I planted a strawberry patch last year and they are bearing well this year now.  I'm excited.  I love strawberries and have wanted my own little patch for the last 20 years of my life.  I am finally getting that dream, though my patch is about 1/10 the size of what I wish it could be.  But I'll take what happiness I get.
We've been busy with ball season now for the month of June.  Both David and Ana have two games each week.  Sometimes they overlap so we are only at the ball fields twice a week.  Other weeks, they will not overlap and at all and we'll be in fields four nights a week.  Makes for a busy week and also a bit hard to get proper suppers on the table.  But it's only for a month, the kids enjoy it, and I kind of like it too, though I am not at all sad when the season ends.  I am helping coach Ana's team again this year.  She got her first home run last night.  David's team was dealt its first loss last night too.  They have a pretty good team this year.

Apparently this schedule is too much for Aaron.  I'm amazed at his ability to sleep anywhere.  He laid down in the middle of the kitchen floor while I was making supper last night (so he could be near me), and the next thing I knew, he was sound asleep.  I was amazed that he did not wake up when the six children who were present in our house at that time gingerly stepped over him many times throughout his 40 minute nap.  It just looks quite uncomfortable to me.
Question:  Can you sleep anywhere like this?

    Before my sleep apnea was finally diagnosed, I was so sleep deprived I fell asleep 1) driving, 2) walking down stairs, 3) talking to my boss, 4)anytime I sat down. That is the primary reason I still don't watch TV or movies. I think I had sleep apnea for 20 years before it was finally diagnosed. Now doctors are much more aware of it.

    Sleep? I don't think I really know what that is like...especially on the kitchen floor.
    By the way...who is the woman laying on his stomach ?

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
