8 Things About Me

1. I have been to New York three times. (Been in the World Trade Center twice and to Ground Zero once).
2. I am like Jeff and thinks potty humor is hilarious. I guess that is why I get along with the guys better than I do the girls. I think farting is funny and hate to go shopping all day long.
3. I am a strange love for John Travolta. I think he is the hottest person alive.
4. I was manager of Pizza Inn in Jonesboro when I went college.
5. I was Valedictorian of my class.
6. I wish I could play the trumpet like my brother did.
7. I didn't join the marching band in high school because everyone in my class was doing it. I love to stand out even then. Of course this wasn't hard being the only white in my class or school at Eudora.
8. I have a overbearing fear of being raped or my children being molested.

RAIN

Words of wisdom from Ashton.

"Mom, please call God and tell him to stop the rain."

Night Terrors

Just when you think it is going to be a peaceful night, you are awoken by your baby boy screaming to the top of his lungs. He is screaming but yet he is not conscious. He does not even recognize you. Ashton has been experiencing night terrors for about a year now.

They are very stressful. You want to shake him or slap him to wake him up, yet it wouldn't work. All you can do is sit there and hold him until he wakes up or it is over. Research says that children experiencing night terrors must have a regular sleep schedule. Sometimes these night terrors are triggered by being too tired. How can you do this, if the boy will not take naps? I think sometimes he is just scared to sleep. He has actually told me this a couple of times. I just wish whatever little demons are possessing his brain at night would disappear and leave him alone.

Prayer Request

This is a simple prayer request for a beautiful little boy named Garret. For most of you, this is just a repeat of Shelly's blog. I just want to tell people that do not read that blog.

Garret was born with craniosynosis. This is a premature closing of the right front skull suture, meaning he has no soft spot. This can inhibit his brain to have room to grow. He was wearing a corrective helmet but it was determined that it wasn't working. The next option is surgery. Please pray that Garret and his family will have the physical and emotional strength for this surgery.

The Ressurection

The orange paci has been ressurected.

The orange paci went missing yesterday morning. For those of you who don't know, this is a major deal. This very orange paci is the only paci Kaylee will take. She has a blue one just like it but no she has to have the orange one. SHE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE! Those of you who say babies are color blind, well this one isn't. It was missing all day yesterday and today. We could just go out and buy one, but we are broke. This particular orange paci cannot be bought in the single paci pack. You must buy it in the two pack. That two pack does not have two orange pacis in them. So basically you have to buy one paci for the price of two because she only wants the orange paci. Two days of hell and we are back in business. We just found the orange paci. For those of you who have an extra orange paci like this one are welcome to mail them to Kaylee for those critical times when the orange paci goes AWOL.

According to Renea and Jenny, she is respresenting Journey with the orange paci.
