Breaking $10,000
Thanks to synchronized extended naps (yay), I sat down and finally updated our Debt Paid Off total. Since January 1, 2010; we have paid off $10,030 in debt. That includes: our credit card (which we promptly closed and have no more open credit cards), the Mom-Mobile, two student loans paid off, and two (very large [...]

Hearts for Home – July 6th Edition
“In today’s busy and aggressive society mothers at home are not given much encouragement to be committed to their role in being home. In my weekly ‘Hearts for Home’ post I am encouraging myself and others to commit to thinking about what 4-6 things we can do each week to bring our thoughts, prayers and [...]
We love The Neurosurgeon
Today was the meeting with The Neurosurgeon. I’m totally drained (we had to drive to the other side of the state, and back; which is quite a haul in itself), but we got a lot of news on Greg. Joy of joys, we get to go back next week. The jist is that The Neurosurgeon [...]

A turn for the better
Before reading the rest of this post, please play this appropriate song. Ready … okay? Greg FINALLY has an appointment with The Neurosurgeon! Hallelujah indeed! And we don’t even have to wait too long for it – it’s within the next week. I guess that everything (finally) turned up that was needed to schedule an [...]
The Story As I Know It
Now that I’ve had 1) a good cry and 2) a good rest, here’s what I know of the Great Neurosurgeon Drama of 2010: – The Neurosurgeon wanted Greg to have an MRA done and the results sent over to him in both electronic and non-electronic formats. That was on the 17th at our local [...]
