Decisions...

On November 12th, 2011 we had to put our beloved pet Harley to rest. Under the circumstances his health was failing and we suspect through the night he had a stroke which by morning was causing him great discomfort. I have yet to do a post regarding the love we have for Harley, in time I will write something in his honour. This year on Nov.12, 2012 i would like to have a special urn picked and purchased for his ashes. Here are a few choices that I have found...i am taking my time to choose which one i like...he's worth nothing but the best.

I think I'm leaning towards the one above..i love the candle idea. I'd change the color of the candle to a nice "boyish" one..maybe chocolate brown or a nice dark grey?

I miss him, i still think of him everyday...my heart hurts~
Today was a very frustrating day..yesterday we had 2 appointments which happened to put Braden in a situation that made him eventually become grumpy. He was "man-handled" alot yesterday by his physiotherapist then he saw the seating clinic people and they did the same thing. It wears on him and makes him grumpy, he gets tired of people lifting him, adjusting him...etc etc.
Today was another busy day..so overwhelming for me. There's a lot more that happened then what (most) people know and learning to adapt to the changes has been a whole learning process. IT just adds more things to our timetable, we have vendor's calling, wound nurses here, "special" nurses to deal with the changes..CCAC workers and manager's coming by the house...there is just SO much going on. Today I crashed..i had JUST said goodbye to one nurse, the phone rang...it was a conversation that I just wasn't expecting..talk about changing gears and trying to remember who this person was and exactly what it was they did for Braden drove me insane. I get off the phone and another nurse comes through the door..ohhh what a day!
On top of all this..everyone want's to know what happened leading up to Braden's surgery, retelling that story so often just reminds me of how bad things really were. It makes me angry, sad and frightened...mostly about what the future holds.
Well my zeta's..i am off..tired, frustrated..
out.

Busy day today..


Short post today friends, its been a long couple days. Lots of appointments to get to lately. We were in the middle of so much stuff just before Braden fell ill. So know that we are home and recovering its time to get these things back in order. There's been a bit of a problem with a wound on Braden, he's been fighting it for sometime...so that kinda throws a wrentch in our lives and adds a few unexpected appointments. Somedays I just sit here and wonder...when the hell is our lives going to become just plain normal? Seriously, with the issues that we have right now in our lives...i'm not sure how Braden will ever get to college? HE WILL get there...no worries with that...but my goodness..there's always something going on! It's tiring, its draining and it takes an emotional toll on me. I guess I should just be thankful that I can be home and available to him. We had a seating appointment today..looks like we will be getting a new wheelchair complete with a tilting seat. He tried it out and liked it, hopefully it will help with a few issues he's been having. Best thing he loves is that with the tilt..he'll be able to put himself back and sleep in the chair if he wants! Thats great for him! Well friends..i'm exhausted! Off to rest and relax, hope everyone is happy and healthy!!

Summertime Scents...

I was going to write a blog about a problem that I had AGAIN today with MacMaster Hospital...but then I chose to not bother! Its the same shit over and over again, lets just say...I am furious. We'll leave it at that!
I was looking into some summer scents for the upcoming summertime and came accross a highly reccommended scent by Bobby Brown.
Beach Body Oil

DescriptionA unique, moisturizing body oil that gives skin a sultry sheen as it scents with beach Fragrance. Contains four essential oils (Olive, Sesame, Avocado and Jojoba) and Vitamins E and C to soften and nourish skin.
I'm debating whether or not I want to try to find this in Canada or order it on line? Either way..it sounds delicious~
I'll be looking into this soon.

I'm Back!! Happy Easter my Zeta's!

Well i did take a momentary leave of absence and I'm very sorry about that. I'm not going to feel guilty about it though as life had thrown us a curve ball and I needed to get a few things sorted out before I committed back to this.
How was everyone's easter? Mine was just perfect~
We had some wonderful family time together and the kids had some time away from us, and with their friends. The weather was ok, I was hoping for warmer..would have been nice to get out and sit on my patio furniture. I made some cake balls for the Martz's easter, they turned out really cute..i missed making them, hadn't done it in so long!



On Sunday we celebrated little Ollie's birthday, I just love him to death. He's the cutest little guy in the world and he just LOVES me! We do celebrate our dog's birthday, it's just as important as our's! We do cake, presents and we sing happy birthday~


They are loved, and it's important to share in love as often as possible. Any excuse to have cake is fine by me!! I think its important to have family close, always celebrating...even if its for the dog!!
