Well it is confirmed. I am a total & complete idiot, with no memory at all since I had the baby. Yesterday I had to take the dogs out. Katelon was holding the baby for me.. I come back in, baby poo all over her outfit, take the baby, clean her up, clean everything else up, run up to soak her outfit, pull the stopper, turn on the water, drop in outfit, think to myself I should NOT walk away while water is on, oh well there is a safety hole to catch it if I don’t make it back on time, run into the laundry room to switch the stuff, hear screaming downstairs “MOM, Angell is torturing the baby again”, run downstairs, seperate Angell from the baby, catch dog mid action pooing on my floor, run dog out, clean that up, hear the baby crying inside (too cold to out to take her), run in grab her -nothing makes her happy, she’s ready to sleep, by now I have forgotten the water running upstairs. Finally I get to sit & feed baby, I can breath again, Jason comes home – walks straight upstairs, that’s strange no kiss… Then I hear “Get up here!” and my oldest comes running, “Daddy needs your help!” Oh no, I just flooded my bathroom & garage…nice….. Sorry honey….. 😦 So we spent last night getting all the water up, pulling up the carpet and padding so it wouldn’t mold, renting blowers to dry it all up. Wow, that was A LOT OF WATER!! …………..I suck…….    😦

Hi everyone, thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes. I didn’t realize anyone would even notice! As I get older, it’s just another day and not so exciting as when I was a child 🙂 but Jason did make it a really nice day.

Hey Angell slept through the night in panties (we forgot to put her pull up on) and she didn’t tinkle in the bed. Yay, I didn’t wake up in tinkle on my birthday! Also, I didn’t have to clean ANY puppy tinkle at all THE WHOLE DAY, boy was that awesome! Especially since it is super cold and rainy here and the puppies practically refused to go potty outside…Thank goodness for tile and wood flooring and disinfectant.

Jason made me a restaraunt style breakfast, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. I got to open presents. They brought me flowers. He also made an awesome dinner, smoked cheddar baked chicken, it was REALLY good. Jason played Happy Birthday for me on the piano, so cool right! Then they sang it to me at the table with the cake. I really really enjoyed that part because my girls LOVE birthdays and the smiles on their faces, as they sang, was just priceless. I mean what could make a mother happier than seeing her kids happy and having such a wonderful husband. By the way, it was  German chocolate cake… homemade… and it was the super yummy!

Wow, reading what I wrote above… I am truly blessed… Thank you God for blessing me with a truly wonderful family!!

Update on Riley: PRAISE GOD!!! All the glory is HIS!!!

Lydi writes: Hi to all our friends, RILEY IS GOING TO BE OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She just got out of surgery, where they opened up her skull to release the pressure of the swollen brain. The miracle is that they found absolutely no trace of a tumor, an AVM, or malformation of any kind! They detected a tag of what they assumed was the ruptured vessel, but NOTHING ELSE. The catscan had clearly showed a growth of significant size of some sort, but when they got in there, there was no tumor, no AVM, no growth, and nothing to repair. Everyone is amazed at the fact that Riley survived such a massive bleed and the mess it had created in her brain. I’ll never again question the power of prayer and will remain forever and eternally grateful to God and all our friends who prayed for Riley. She still has to recover from her ordeal, so your prayers are still needed and very much appreciated. The Bible says that before anything comes into the physical realm, it is first created in the Spiritual realm. Last night I prayed that God would call upon all His Physician and Healing angels to “operate” on Riley in Spirit- and today it happened in the physical. If this isn’t a miracle, I don’t know what would be classifed as one. P.S. I just helped another little soul come into this world today at 1:06 P.M.- a girl weighing 5 lbs and 5 ozs.
Love,Lydi and family…

This is just proof that there are still miracles, even today! Thank you everyone for taking the time to pray for someone else!
