We all had an early morning this morning. Poor Diana struggled through out the night not being able to drink anything . A fighter she is. :) It was hard for Gil and I to pick and choose who was going to be able back with her before and who would go back with her after the surgery. I went with her on the first leg. Daddy didn't think he was going to be able to handle it. I sat with her quietly not wanting to stop looking at her. Just the thought of our sweet baby being put to sleep scared us half to death. We rocked , we played, re read and of course crawled all over the bed :).
When they came to give her the medicine to put her to sleep it was a piece of cake. She was fine for the next 10 or so minutes I had with her. She was not too sleepy just getting there I think. Then finally they came and got her to take her back to the OR. Not wanting to let her out of my arms I struggled to say my short goodbye and that mommy would see her real soon.
I kissed her and had to make a quick dash out of the room trying to hold back my tears. I know it was only a simple procedure putting the tubes ,her ears, but still a scary one. I finally get down the hall way and almost to the waiting room door to meet Gil and Dean, when Dean popped out of the room. still trying to fight back tears I dashed into the bathroom not being able to say a word to dean. There I knew i was safe to let my emotions go. I could hear dean standing outside the bathroom door so I had to pull myself together again.
As I opened the bathroom door he reached up and gave me a great big hug. Its ok mommy he says. Diana will still be our sweet heart. This is what he calls her. Or Sweetie. Daddy tried to explain to him earlier that They would be "cutting her ears" so she would not feel well today. LOL I couldn't not begin to imagine what dean thought was going to happen. He said . Its ok. Her ears will still look beautiful. LOL. God Bless him. When your sad hes always there to make you laugh.
As Dean and I sat there in the waiting room i felt myself counting every second sitting in that chair. A long 10 minutes that was. The resident came into the room and said everything was ok , she was doing great and one of us could come back. We agreed that Daddy would go back. He was a little Hesitant to go, but I assured him he would be ok.
Dean and I went upstairs to wait for them and soon daddy and Diana came wheeling up in their wheel chair. Diana sitting on daddy's Lap looked into the room and gave the biggest smile and wave. She has the wave or my Grandma Mercedes. Her arm moves as fast as it can to and her little hand just flaps. I love her wave.
I could not wait to get my hands around her again. Once we got to the room I was able to scoop her up and just hold on tight. Dean came over to give her a kiss and said Diana your ears are beautiful. Again. She knows how to lighten up a moment. Gil told me that she was still weak from the surgery. Her little head just bobbled while i Tried to get her dressed.
BOY was she HUNGRY . She ate a yogurt, and some cookies and a cup of juice. Poor little girl. We got home and I tried to put her down to play. I was not prepared for her not being able to walk. She little legs were like spaghetti. She just stumbled back onto me. :(
Its nap time now and she seems to be almost back to normal. He has not been fussy at all. there is no pulling at her ears. I have to give her ear drops 3 times a day per ear. They warned us about possible drainage coming from the ears , but nothing yet.
I hope shes ok after nap. What a scary day.
This morning was just an ordianary morning. :) I was on my way to Dianas pre op for her surgery this morning. I had such a busy weekend with not too much computer time so I wasnt able to do my banking. I thought I had better check my bank via the telephone. I heard the balance and thought bit more than I have in my check book. Whats going on ? i hit the button to listen to deposits. I heard one trasaction deposit and I didnt recognize it. I pressed 0 and asked the lady to please Identify a deposit for me. She said it was from the state of Ohio for child support deposit.WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO. That Running, not paying, un supportive, back child support ,Ex husband of mine made a payment of 528.41.
LAIDES > This is a great day> The court ordered him to pay up when her went to court back in DEC. The court made a deal with him. He was to pay two months in back child support for my order and two months of back suport for his first ex wife's. Then they would give hiim his license back. Not only that, but he has to make our payments every month or he will next serve 30 consecutive days per court order if he does not pay. :) He already just served 12 for not paying.
I have not seen one red dime since a 42.00 payment was made back in Sep of 2005. Now my support order is not that much per month but ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Its so nice to see them making him accountable. Well see if he continues next month or not. Justice Served.
Well I never would have thought she would actually do it. My mother has now joined the blogging world :) I have wondered if she would do it but she had not . Not until yesterday.
I am so proud of you Mom :)
This is a big week for her. First she learned to use craigslist to start selling and now shes blogging.
I was shocked last week as my dad added me as following me on Twitter. I thought no that's not right it must be my mother using my dads name, but yep sure enough its my dad .
I am so proud of my parents. :)

I can not believe I am actually reading this today. WTF. Who in the He.. should care if we resell our childrens stuff. There are so many mother who make a profit and in return buy more clothing for their children. This is so messed up. What about conseignment sales?? SO all those stores will go out of business. I just can not believe it.
Gov't Says, Sorry, No More Reselling Your Kids' Stuff
I want to be clearer and more specific about the effect the CPSIA (Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act) will have on reselling when it goes into effect on February 10. As clear as I can be, that is, since it seems there's an awful lot of confusion.You will no longer be able to place used children's clothes or toys into the "stream of commerce." As I and others understand it, that means no selling them on ebay, Craigslist, yard sales, and church/organization consignment sales (See if your favorite sales are still scheduled). Of course, that means no buying kids' clothes and toys from these sources either. This act could easily triple the amount that many families pay to clothe their kids. It will absolutely eliminate the notion of recouping any of that cost through reselling.What about donations? My research tells me that you won't be able to donate your used kids' clothing and toys to Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or any place that would resells. They'd have to have proof that you had it tested for lead and pthalates. What that means for charities like Project Linus, which gives blankets to hospitalized newborns, or to charities that distribute clothing and toys without selling them, is unknown.So can you give away your stuff on Freepeats, Freecycle, and Craigslist? What about swap meets? I've found one commenter that says no. Beyond that, there's little mention of it.I do know one thing: If the goverment wants individuals to comply with this Act, it's going to have to do a better job of informing them. Until the government informs me otherwise, I'm going to assume that giving away your stuff on Freepeats will be okay.For more info on the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act,
