I can't believe my little girl made a full year in school. She wore the same outfit as her first day and you can see the difference. In less than one year, she's grown up. This weekend we have her awards for her gymnastics class and Monday is Memorial Day and there is a pool party to attend. She loves the pool. I got some fun things for the pool for her to play with. I hope she likes it. Today, she met her First Grade teacher. I can't wait to find out who it is.
On to my next topic. I'm still working out the content for my Affiliate Marketing Business. Writing an article or blog post isn't easy when you need to do research to figure it all out. I feel like I'm back in school writing essays again. Whoop whoop. But this will get me to my end result which is to own my own affiliate marketing business and make money doing it. In the end I'll do it because I refuse to quit. And my family needs this. I worry about the future so much lately. We're getting low on funds till J goes back to work. So much so, that it keeps me up at night. If this works out, it can be a second source of money to help pay down debts or save for G's education. I just want to make sure I have enough content for about a month. Then, I can promote on my facebook page to get people to view and hopefully follow.
I still have some learning to do but taking my time to make sure I do it correctly.
Here are some pics of my little sassy girl. Her face has thinned out
Yesterday my mom had a pacemaker put in. I was told it went ok and she’s ok. She spent the night in the ER instead of a room. I remember why I left NY. My poor mom was basically up all night long. I'm happy as long as she's ok. I'll call my sister today to find out more information.
On another subject, my daughter has been out of control. According to Brain Balance, she's in a downward trend but it will get better. We have an observation on Monday and we can watch and ask questions. This morning when we were getting dressed, she was just hyper out of control. Couldn't stop moving. I took her just the way she was (naked) and put her in the chair in the other room. She was crying because she was cold so I grabbed a small blanket. I sat with her and asked her to breath deep and look out at the trees. See the yellow leaves among the green. Listen to the bird talking. Telling her she has to be quiet if she wants to hear them talking. It seemed to work. We were able to continue geting dressed, brushing hair, eating breakfast with minimal problems. No tablet this morning. And she didn't ask. She did so well. I was impressed with the improvement.
I like good news first. J talked to someone at the LTD office and explained everything to them. They wanted him to apply for permanent disability or they would only pay a few hundred dollars per month instead of the full entitlement. They agreed with him that it would be a conflict at this point since he's working at going back to work in about 4 months. He has some more app at the beginning of June and then the full paperwork can go to the FAA to be reviewed and approved. He's met each criteria on the checklist and getting the doctors notes as they've asked. The FAA takes an additional 2 months to approve but I don't see any issues with that. I'm just grateful he found someone to listen to him.
The bad news. My sister called me a short time ago. My mom passed out in Macy's. It's happened before but the doctors could never figure out why. This time, when the ambulance showed up, they noticed her heart beat was irregular. Tomorrow she'll be getting a pacemaker. It's so upsetting. I wish I can go and visit right now but that's not possible. I need to plan it out. But it'll be soon.
I must say how grateful I am for step-by-step videos. I'm glad I can rewind and watch it over and over. Also, so frustrating is that the sites change the way they look so it looks different from what I'm seeing in the videos. But it seems to be working. Slowly.
On another note, Mother's Day was special. G made something in daycare and it was so awesome. She wrote "All about my Mom". I read it and we both had a good laugh. This was on Friday night. It was just the two of us and we went to a pizza place to eat out. She asked for an orange soda and chips while we waited for our pizza. She was so good in there. Then when we left she asked for a cookie. I did request she eat it at home but she argued with me. I had to go get milk for her and she doesn't know how to let things go. I really wanted her to wait till we got home but she just went on and on. So I gave her the cookie to eat. I probably should have stuck to my wishes but I try and pick my battles. The rest of the night went well. She was tired. J came home on Saturay, late afternoon while G and I were at the pool. She really loves the pool. After about 2 hours we had to leave. On Mother's day morning, G and J went out and got me breakfast from McDonalds which was lovely. Then they went out again and came back with a cake that G requested for me. Rainbow around the cake with white icing. 2 roses and fancy writing. Strawberry filling. YUMMY. We waited to eat till after dinner. And yes, we had another 2 hours at the pool. Love the pool. Love the splashpad.
Now if Brain Balance therapy would just start working, we'd be in good shape.
