lookey here, lookey here!

Hey, i'm writing again and it hasn't been at least a month! thank you for your encouragement. i haven't started the eating part yet, i have to understand it before i do that, but i'm reading the book. i'll get there. i figure this is such an improvement; i'm proud of myself.

i need ya'll's prayers for my family's strength over the next twelve weeks. i'm going to be starting traction next week i think. dr. armstrong says it's not easy, not painful, but not cake either. i'm a little intimidated, but know that in the long run, i'll be feeling a lot better. hopefully, no more headaches!!!!!! also, that my insurance will cover any of it. they are willing to set up a payment plan. they're christians and sincerely want the best health for you and are willing to help you manage it.

doodle has been incredibly tired as of late. i'm hoping it's just the weather and not her coming down with something. the other day she slept for four hours! for a nap! we did quite a bit of shopping today and she was sooo good. at the end of it, we were at walmart, of course, and she got to get out and push the cart. she thought she was big stuff. she enjoyed being able to stop and play with the toys when she wanted and then look at the fish tanks. she loved them. i think that'll be her b-day present, though. we've spent enough on christmas already. she learned like 5 new words today alone. plus she associates things with people and remembers who goes with what. like today she saw a pink hat and said nana! guess who wears a pink hat? then when i put her to bed she said, nana and pulled her blanket up. nana brought it over for her grandmother. it was cute that she remembered who brought it.

so my plans, i get to clean w/o two munchkins under foot tomorrow! yeah! i don't get to do much of that. i'll talk to yas later. i'm working on reading your blogs. i was responding heartfeltly to one of yours when kassidy turned off my computer. i guess i won't do that again!
