Some Randomness

Ailynne's ENT Surgery went well :) She slept a lot the next couple of days but seems to be back to normal.. Her doc says if she talks a lot now in the next week or so it really start to pick up now that she can hear so much better :) I can't wait to hear what she has been hiding from me..

Ekko got Strep just before Ailynne went in for her Surgery but thankfully Ailynne didn't get it and that we caught Ekko's in enough time so we could get her antibiotics :) Ekko is doing much better now and seems pretty much back to her old self, except she still has a nasty cough so when I get her follow up appt I can ask about it then..

I have Bronchitis, surprise surprise lol I tried to make an appt but because of my acute asthma they made me go to the ER.. How dumb was that?!?! Oh well I was in an out within 30mins lol The doc agreed with me too but hey it's all good :) I have lost 11lbs so far :D 64lbs to go to my ultimate weight goal and I can't wait to reach it :)

The girls will be going to Texas for 2wks to spend some time with their Aunt Cassie, which is good for everyone :) They need to see some of their family, plus it will give the hubs and I a much needed break.. We don't really get to go do anything much anymore cause no one can ever watch the girls, which sucks yes but it's ok cause this 2wks will make up for so much of that :) John will be taking the week before they leave and the first week their gone off :) While the girls are gone I WILL be at the gym everyday :) I am determined to lose weight and will have EVERY opportunity to do it :)

I have so many things I want to get done around here.. Both girls will have their beds in Ekko's room and Ailynne's room will become the toy room :) I got an amazing deal for a toddler bed for Ailynne so we can break down the crib and use it for fire wood HAHA I just have a few things to get to actually decorate their room with and can't wait!!! I will also be able to get the carpets cleaned, go through toys and clothes for things they have out grown :) With any luck I can decorate their room for under $40..

I recently finally got my living room decorated, which I am not done but will soon :) I decorated our living room for under $30 which is awesome considering everything I got :) I got an area rug, 3 sets of curtains, a wall hanging and a couple of small shelves.. I would say I did pretty good but that's just me lol I also want to at some point cover my bar stools so they are comfy to sit on ;P

I want to put together a website for my photography but am no good at it lol I am not really getting any business right now and could really use it.. I got some more business cards ordered and want to set up a blog as well which don't ask why but I forgot how to do that HAHA I know I am special ;P I will get it all figured out so no worries :)

We have some plans for the 4th and the weekend before the 4th and can't wait!!! I also am in the process of starting John's Birthday Shopping and I really hope he likes everything :)

Anywho, that's pretty much it for now :) I hope everyone has an amazing weekend and 4th of July!!! Stay safe and keep cool in this heat advisory :)

Good news and exciting news :)

Well Ailynne had her ENT appt today.. She does have to get tubes in her ears and her surgery for that is Tuesday, she had her Pre-Op already and her Post-Op will be 3wks after and I will get her custom ear plugs made then too.. I feel bad for her but I can almost guarantee that her speech will improve greatly once she can hear better :) But she is doing good and so smart :) Both my girls are incredibly smart and I love them dearly..

Both girls will be visiting with their Aunt Cassie this summer for 2 weeks, which I am excited and nervous about LOL This will be good cause they get to spend time with Texas Family and it gives us a much needed break :) But I will miss them like mad crazy!! Those are my babies!! John and I will get some alone time which will be nice :) I can guarantee that I will be counting down the days till I get to see them again :) I have already told Aunt Cassie I expect to get a call from my girls twice a day LOL Once at bed time and the other they could choose :) I will be leaving her with an SD card so she can take photos of them having fun for me :)

Ekko's ADHD meds still aren't in :( The clinic is starting to make me very angry :( Hopefully they will get in while they are gone so I have them once they get back :) 

Anyways that's pretty much it for now :)

Answers, but at the same time not answers

Well not a whole lot has been going on around here LOL Both girls have head colds, which means more than likely Ailynne will end up with a double ear infection... Thankfully she has an appt with the ENT Specialist on the 14th :) I just dd Ekko's hair and the bottom half of her hair is bright pink :) She loves it..

Business is really slow right now which is not good but I am hoping for it to pick up soon... I am trying to do another special this one for the 4th but no one seems to be interested as of yet but hey there is still time to get bookings :) I am trying to keep positive about it all but it's so hard when I feel like I can't do good enough or that I am not good enough :( I know this will pass as I have been down this road many times before and I am sure it won't be the last lol

At one point it was looking like I was going to be a tubal reversal but after seeing the fertility specialist they said the problems I have been having have nothing to do with my tubal, which is good and bad.. I have found out that I have PCOS and produce more testosterone than most women :( Which means I am a manly woman hahahahaha and is the reason I have infertility, acne, off the wall periods, weight gain and issues losing weight but we shall see what the nest step is :) So I don't have to have the surgery but now have to figure out what to do about the hormonal imbalance I have :( I am really hoping it can be fixed soon cause I don't like all of this nonsense..

Anyways other than that not a whole lot going on here :) But it's something :) I will do another update on just the girls and I later..
