Lil’ Diva’s Having Surgery This Week and I am NOT Happy About It!

Published on: 2:40 AM by Unknown - 5 comments

I just wanted to let y’all know that I might not be around much the rest of the week! I will get giveaway winners drawn and emailed (though winner’s posts may or may not happen) so make sure to check your email!!!!

In addition to this being my last week of school for the semester (thank goodness for Christmas break—I’m in major need of some time off from school) it’s finals week and that means exams, papers and more papers! So I am going to be busy—please believe me when I say that I would much rather be writing for y’all as opposed to writing about sexism and racism in education institutions (the topic of one of my papers).

On top of finals Lil’ Diva will be having oral surgery this Thursday (please keep her in your thoughts…she’s been miserable with a bad toothache for the past several days) to repair a broken tooth and fill some cavities. FYI the whole “giving your child a cup (of anything) at night is just as bad as giving them a bottle at night” is TRUE and the cavities that Lil Diva has to have filled are proof of that! We spent all day today at Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati and were extremely lucky to get a surgery date so soon! While I HATE the idea of any of my children having surgery, I am thankful that the dentist can go in and fix all of the teeth at once without traumatizing Lil’ Diva with multiple visits! So please keep her in your thoughts and pray that she’s back up and running around being her normal silly self very soon!

So, that’s how I’ll be spending the rest of my week! I hope your week is shaping up to be a less eventful one than mine!

See y’all soon!

My Daughter Ran Her First 5K and Won a Gold Medal!

Published on: 2:00 PM by Unknown - 4 comments

It’s quite possible that I’m the proudest momma on the plane right now—why you ask? Well, my 9 year old daughter Savanna ran her very first 5K this morning with 50 other people (men, women and children) and came in 8th overall (overall people, that’s insane), 1st in her age group and FIRST in the female runner category (THAT MEANS SHE BEAT EVERY SINGLE FEMALE IN THE RACE)!!!!

I cannot even begin to explain how proud I am of my daughter right now! I always knew she had a gift for running and I never doubted her for a second, but to beat every single female runner in the race that’s just beyond impressive!!!!! She even had Ohio Congresswoman Jean Schmidt come up to her afterward, shake her hand and tell her that she was going to remember Savanna’s face because one of these days she was going to be on TV in the Olympics!!! I’d be a total liar if I said I didn’t cry, because I did—my daughter is amazing and she makes me more proud each and every day…I love you Baby…CONGRATS!

Y’all should remember this face—cause one day she’s going win a Gold Medal in the Olympics and you can say you knew her way back when!
