Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

update: well vanessa managed to hold her oxygen levels up during her nap(unlike last night) so they let her come home this evening. I am happy to report she is 100x better and doing well. She is enjoying being babied and fed junk food to entice her to eat.:)

Thanks for the congrats Amber--I can't wait to see you OTQ!

Does she have asthma? It is SO scary when they aren't getting the oxygen they need.

How is she doing now April? I was so out of it yesterday morning I must have clicked back to my blog before commenting and commented on my blog about your daughter. I erased it now. Silly moi. Just hoping she is doing better and isn't being exposed to the flu.

Marion--it's not officially asthma until they are over 4(she's 2)--at least that's what they tell me but yeah, she has asthma. She had her first attack when she was 8 months old

Julie--much much better. She's practically back to her regular self--pink and energetic. Wow she went from so sick to doing good so fast, I am very grateful
