Melisa's Life: 2009

School

Posted in 17.9.09

This semester has been crazy. I knew it would be hard, but I am finding that I love it. I am taking some hard classes but they overlap a lot. I love, love my anatomy/physiology class! The first day of class, my professor told us that if I don't get at least a b+ I won't get in to the nursing program. It's a scary thought, but I have gotten a 100 and 94% on my exams so far. I have been recording the lectures and listening to them as I'm falling asleep at night(I love my phone!) I also downloaded some microbiology tutor sessions that I listen to in my car and have been going to study groups on my lunch break. I feel like it's always with me sometimes. I have to do it this way, I have to squeeze it in whenever i can. When the kids are awake and chris is at work, I have been trying really hard to focus on them. Most of my nights are spent on campus. Whenever things get hard I remind myself that it will be worth it. It will, right?! The last week I have had major anxiety where I can't sit still. One day, I rearranged our bedroom furniture all by myself. I did 7 haircuts and 3 colors over the weekend. It has been NONSTOP! Yesterday, I forced myself to take a morning off and hang out with the kids. We ended up making cookies and dancing around. I really love my life and i'm grateful for it, even though it's incredibly chaotic right now.

Happy birthday

Posted in 29.8.09

Today is mine and circes birthday. Chris got her a few months before we met and she has always been his baby. He said he knew we were meant to be because I share my birthday with his dog. Lol She used to be the most well behaved dog. We would take her everwhere with us. Chris would even take her to school with him and keep her in his hoodie pocket. That stopped when the kids came and we got ryu for her to play with. Now, she's old and doesn't care about discipline.
Anyway, she turns 11 today. It's a bitter sweet day for me. I love having a day to appreciate and celebrate my life and her life, but she is getting old and I wish she could stay around forever.
Happy birthday Circe dog!

This pic is from when chris and I were dating.

First day of school

Posted in 20.8.09

I just dropped Saige off at school for her first day of kindergarten. I kept a brave happy face until I got in the

car to drive away. Then I cried like a baby. My little girl is growing up way too fast.

Life

Posted in 25.7.09

It has been a really long time since I blogged. Things have been super busy here lately and then our Internet stopped working. I finally downloaded a blog writer app for my phone.
I'm in summer school right now. Math has been hard! I haven't taken it in so long that I have forgotten a lot. I'm going full time next semester, which will be a big adjustment. I have put my business on hold for now because of school. It has been a good break for me.
Saige starts kindergarten in a month! It's crazy how fast it goes by. She took soccer a couple months ago and now Both kids are in swim lessons. They love it.
Kade is completely potty trained except for at night. He is doing so good! He keeps me very busy. He is too smart for his own good sometimes

he recently learned how to take the child locks off the door handles.
We have done quite a bit this summer. Chris and I went on a camping trip in June just the 2 of us. It did so many wonderful things for us and just myself. I have been feeling like I gave up a part of myself when I became a mom. I did a lot of soul searching while we were away and something clicked. Ever since, I have been making it a point to take time out for myself every day. I even bought my first pair of heels last week. Our marriage has been even stronger, which I didn't think was possible. We haven't had an argument in over a month.
I'm hoping that I can write more now that it's more convenient. Here's some pics:

Saying Goodbye

Posted in 21.5.09

I wasn't going to blog about this, but for some reason, I feel like I should. Most of you know my cousin, Lariann passed away from brain cancer. Us cousins were so close growing up, most of us still are. We saw each other weekly at Grandma & Grandpa Pages. Lari, Rachel and John used to stay at our house when their parent went out of town. We had tumbling together and went to the same schools from 6th grade up. I got a call the Monday after Lari passed away asking me if I would feel comfortable doing Lari's hair for the funeral. I was in shock at first, but after thinking about it for a minute, I said yes. It seemed to make sense to me. I did her hair for every other important occasion in her life, why not this one?
The day finally came, and I have to admit, I didn't sleep much that night. I had to work that day, so I did this on my lunch break. When I got there, I was shaking SO bad. I started to get nervous that I was going to drop the curling iron and start something on fire, lol. When they were ready for me, my aunt and cousin Rachel came and got me. Rachel and I have been really close since high school. I think we should have been sisters. There were many times that I would show up at her house to pick her up and find that she was wearing the same outfit as me. Anyway, she was my life saver that day. As soon as I walked in, I calmed right down and I had this strong feeling, like "you can do this, it's still Lariann." I curled her hair to make it look like it was on her wedding day. Rachel and I cracked jokes and said things that only me, her and Lari would understand. I apologized to Lari for ripping her precious duckie when we were 12. It was so peaceful in that room, even my aunt said so. I made it through the whole thing without a single tear. It was when I got done and turned to face her when we were getting ready to leave that I started to cry. She looked so beautiful and so peaceful. You couldn't look at her and tell that she even had cancer. She looked like Lari again.
I have been struggling with this a lot more than I thought I would. I became a hermit for a week, except being with my sister and Rachel. I went to Rachel's house to comfort her and she ended up comforting me instead. It's getting better, slowly and I know that it will be ok. The funeral was last Saturday, so Saturday Night Live was on that night. One of our inside jokes during high school was from a skit from SNL. They did Jeopardy with Sean Connery and it was always so funny. It hasn't played in years, but it was on last Saturday night.
Here are some pics from the funeral. Lari's husband Scott works for the Kaysville fire department, which is why the ambulance lead the precession. The little girl in the picture is Lari's daughter. She found out about her brain tumor while she was pregnant with Lucy. She is her little miracle baby. This was definitely an experience that I will never forget. Love you Lari.

Oh boy...

Posted in 26.3.09

So, I left to go to the bathroom while Kade was supposed to be eating his breakfast. I heard something crash and came running. I guess I left the plants too close to him and this is what happened while I was gone. I took these after I had cleaned up most of the mess and tried to salvage my little plants :( I don't know if they'll make it.

update on life

Posted in 21.3.09

Things have been pretty mellow around here lately, which is nice. The kids are good. We have been going to the park a lot lately because of the good weather. Saige is doing really well in school. She has started reading a little bit. We got this book at the library, The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat and she can read most of it. She liked it so much that I bought it for her. She’s funny. We were reading her encyclopedia of the human body one night and talking about how platelets in your body help you stop bleeding. A couple of days later, I heard her talking to her friend and showing her a cut she had. She told her all about platelets in your body. I was pretty impressed that she remembered the word!

Kade is growing so fast, I swear he got taller last night while he was sleeping. He keeps me busy. He is talking a ton too. I was having a bad day last week and I was holding him and trying to get Saige out the door. He started patting me on the back and I said, “Oh, are you patting mommy on the back?” and he said “Good girl.” That totally made my day. He loves singing! With him, I read one book and then we sing songs at night. We got a “big boy bed” from a friend and we tried that out last night. It went ok. Chris is done, but I’m not ready to give up yet.

Chris is working a lot lately. A couple of his cases got pulled for a review, so he is stressed out about that and it’s making him have more work to do. I didn’t see him much last week, with my night class and everything. It kind of stinks. This next week should be the end of it though.

That leaves me…I have been busy with the kids and work and school and the business and everything else I have going on. I was asked to be a guest on a congo, which is a website with a bunch of different moms that make different things and sell them. They have one day they stock every month and a theme they go with. April is a celebration theme. I have been racking my brain trying to think of creative things to make. After I agreed to do that, I actually joined another congo. I’m really excited about it. It is all boy stuff. We are just barely getting started and trying to figure things out. I think our first stocking will be the third week of April. Here’s a link to the website. I’m also doing a collaboration with another mom. I’m making a fleece set, she’s making a matching diaper. Then there is the coop I agreed to do at the end of April. See why I’m busy?!

Jeff

Posted in 21.3.09

I don’t know if any of you remember my ex-boyfriend Jeff. We dated our junior year of High School for a few months. After we broke up, we remained friends for a few years until I got married and then we lost touch. I went to his wedding (he later divorced), he went to mine. He was a good, decent guy. He treated me good, we just weren’t a good match. After our break up, he told me about some psychological problems he had. I honestly had no idea this was going on when we dated. He was seeing a psychiatrist, so I thought he was doing ok. I hadn’t talked to him in years, but he ran into Chris about a month ago and gave him his phone number. I never called him. I thought it would be awkward. I guess his problems were too much for him, because he took his own life last Monday. I went through so many different emotions when I found out. From sad, to feeling sorry for his parents, to anger. I don’t understand it and I don’t think I ever will. I plan to go to his viewing on Sunday. I feel like I need to say goodbye. Thanks to everyone that helped me talk this out.

10 years ago

Posted in 15.3.09

10 years ago, I was sitting all alone in the lunchroom eating. I had just transferred from night classes to day classes at Mountain High and didn't know anyone. You sat next to me and found something to talk to me about. After that, we didn't talk much for a while. I found out who you were and we hung out more through friends I made. I remember the first time I met Circe. You brought her to school. She was just a puppy then. You finally asked me out to the park to fly kites and I was SO excited! You said you'd call, so I went home and waited. I had a movie that was going to be late, so I figured I'd run and drop it off really quick. I saw your name on the caller id when I got home and I was so upset I'd missed your call. You asked me out again a few days later(10 years ago today) to a juggling show. I remember thinking about what a gentleman you were. We went back to your house after and that is when you taught me how to juggle. You took me to the opera a few days after that. That summer, we went jet skiing, you taught me to water ski, to juggling clubs, and kite flying(finally). I loved that you took me to do things I had never experienced before. I still love that about you.
Now, 10 years, 5 moves, 2 dogs, a cat and 2 kids later, I'm still more in love with you than ever!

A mom on one of my wahm forums lost her husband last week, so we all donated some of our store items for an auction. All proceeds will go to her for funeral expenses. Here is the link to the auction. Please bid if you can!! There is also some raffles for great stuff. They are only $2-5. I enter a couple of them.
Thanks!

It got worse

Posted in 18.2.09

It turns out that it wasn't teething that was causing Kade's pain, it was an ear infection. The amber necklace was still helping though. There was one day that I he was up at 4 am crying and wouldn't go back to sleep no matter what I did. I finally gave up around 6:30 and sat with him in the rocking chair, then called the Dr and got him in that day. That made 2 kids and a dog on antibiotics at the same time. I decided to save some time and get Saige rechecked while I was there. That didn't work out so well. We spent 5 hours trying to get her to pee in a cup, that's right, 5 hours. So much for me saving time.
Chris and I celebrated Valentine's Day by going to dinner, the Alaskan Inn and snowboarding last weekend. The anniversary of our first date is coming up soon, so it was kind of a celebration of that too. It was fun. I started getting sick on Saturday and still wasn't feeling well when we left, but I was determined to have a good time anyway. I hope it gets better soon, because this is miserable!!

To my babies

Posted in 18.2.09

I don't usually post this kind of stuff, but I am totally in love with this song. I have to fight back tears every time I listen to it. The video is the remixed version done by my favorite producer. Kaskade is from Utah and he is incredible. Anyway, enjoy.

your baby blues
so full of wonder
your curly cues
your contagious smile
and as i watch
you start to grow up
all I can do is hold you tight

knowing
clouds will rage up
storms will race in
but you will be safe
in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash around
but you will be safe
in my arms

story books are full of fairy tales
of kings and queens and the bluest skies
My heart is torn
just in knowing
you'll someday see
the truth from lies

when the
clouds will rage and
storms will race in
but you will be safe
in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash around
but you will be safe
in my arms

Castles they might crumble
dreams may not come true
but you are never all alone
because I will always
always love you

when the
clouds will rage up
storms will race in
but you will be safe
in my arms
rains will pour down
waves will crash around
but you will be safe
in my arms

in my arms

I have a normal child again!

Posted in 10.2.09

I recently traded a mama for a couple of amber necklaces. I got them in the mail yesterday. Kade hadn't been sleeping for about 4 days so I put it on him for a few hours just to see what would happen. He slept ALL night and didn't wake up once! Maybe it's just a coincidence but I'm going to try it again today and see what happens.

Here's some info on the benefits of amber:

Pure Natural Baltic Amber baby teething necklaces have been used in Europe for centuries to help infants through the teething process. They are one of those things that people use because they are so effective. They are so popular that they are sold in European pharmacies.

Historically mothers found that placing a string of amber around the baby's neck soothed and calmed the baby. And over the centuries they passed the lore on from mother to daughter.

Modern science has now explained why this happens.

First modern science has confirmed the effectiveness of amber as a natural cure because of its high content in succinic acid. And not only has it confirmed its effectiveness, synthetically prepared succinic acid is being used in modern medications.

When you place a natural Baltic amber necklace around a baby's neck, it heats to the baby's body temperature. That heating releases succinic acid in the form of amber oil and miniscule amounts of aromatic vapor. ( There is complete information about the curative powers of amber in the Resources section of the navigation bar at the left. )

The healthy amber oil is absorbed through the baby's skin.

The Health Benefits of Amber

"Why did the ancient people wear beads? Why was amber used in herbal teas and Chinese medicines?"

It has long been believed that wearing beads or bracelets of specific minerals could have health benefits. Although substances, such as pearl and amber, have been found in Chinese medicine to contain medicinal properties, many of the healing ingredients are destroyed by the body's gastric juices if taken internally. Ingredients in certain substances may even trigger serious side effects or sickness, we could never condone this approach. By wearing certain materials close to the body, however, it has been suggested that their molecules may be absorbed by the body, thereby allowing its healing functions to work. Amber was used regularly for healing and health enhancement in ancient Chinese medicine - a belief that is still practiced today. There are many varieties of amber; some are a very rare occurrence in nature. Amber beads are mainly separated by their colour, transparency, texture or grains, and locality. It is also believed that colour plays a large role in determining the specific benefit(s) an amber bead may have on the body; this being because different colours of beads affect the body differently due to the slight variations in their chemical composition. Benefits are said to include detoxification, increased blood circulation, and improved heart, liver, kidney, and intestinal function.

	Honey-colored amber - Said to detoxify the body, provide stress relief from aftershock, alleviate arthritis pain, relax the body, improve breathing and circulation

	Orange amber - Said to boost immune system, reduce inflammation, accelerate healing of wounds.

	Red crystal amber - Said to improve heart function, increase blood circulation.

	Yellow silk amber - Said to relieve allergies, stomach ache, gastritis, increase oxygen levels in cells, delay aging, improve skin.

Tips for eating naturally on a budget

Posted in 8.2.09

I just found this article through a forum and thought I'd share it. As most of you know, I'm always looking for ways to eat healthy and save money doing it. I need to start doing this more. I want to start using beans from scratch. We go through a lot of them around here and it's getting expensive. I have also saved a lot of money by making my own cleaners. There are cleaner recipes on my other blog.

What are the odds?!

Posted in 7.2.09

So, we took Saige in for her kindergarten exam, and he did some routine things that included a urinalysis. The Dr. called me back a couple days later and it turns out she has a bladder infection. It's a bad one too. I feel bad! She has had a couple of issues, but I thought it was related to something else.
Then, the company that runs our lab work at the clinic I work at give free blood panels every once in a while so I took Circe in with me yesterday to get it done. The panel includes a urinalysis, so we're in the ultrasound room and the way they get urine is they find their bladder and then take a long needle with a syringe and pull urine out with it. We're all talking and when she pulled on the syringe, we both gasped...it was the color of rootbeer. I got scared, but she reassured me that it was ok. I got the results this morning. She has a bladder infection too! There were also a couple of other things they found so I'm going to bring her in for a real ultrasound on Monday. I'm hoping it's nothing to be concerned about and I'm trying not to worry about her, but she's getting old. I'm really glad I brought her in though.
I'm starting to wonder if there is something in our water...maybe I should run a u/a on myself!

She got in!

Posted in 29.1.09

Saige got in to the Syracuse Arts Academy! You should have seen the look on her face when I told her. She is so excited! I've been busy the last couple of days making appointments for her. She has to have the kindergarten exam and I had to get something from their dentist and stuff. I'm not quite sure how she's going to feel about wearing uniforms though.

Had to add Kade's phrase of the week: "Look at this!" I especially love it when he has the cat by the scruff and is trying to show him a book.

Update

Posted in Labels: Work 21.1.09

I just wanted to give an update on Buff. He got his feeding tube taken out and went home about a week and a half ago. One of the drs I work with took him home while the feeding tube was in. I hung out with him while he was waiting for his owners. He looks SO good! He was playing with me and I was finally able to give him a treat :)
They brought the cougar in yesterday. I wish I would have gone in, but I didn't. I figured the inauguration of our first African American president was more important...besides, I've seen Mohawk many times.

School and the Boy Boy

Posted in Labels: Kids 8.1.09

I made a spur of the moment decision last week. It has always been a goal of mine to go back to school when Saige starts kindergarten. The new year got me thinking and I thought "why not start now?" It started with me filling out forms for financial aid. Then, I started looking at degrees, then what I needed to do as far as generals go. Tuesday, I was having doubts and wondering if I was doing the right thing. Wednesday, something happened and I had a total change of heart. I registered last night for 2 classes, one at the Davis campus at night, the other online. Classes started monday, so I'm a little behind, but that's ok. I got my books today and I'm getting excited. I'm taking botany and a basic computer class. I *think* I want to go into surgical nursing. I LOVE that part of my job, but vet techs don't make any money, especially in Utah, so I figure, why not people? I had a glimpse of the surgical nursing textbook today at the bookstore and got really scared. It's 4-5 inches thick, plus there's a 2 in thick workbook to go with it. Yuck!

My little boy has learned the word "no." For example, I caught him with a sharpie today and I said "Give mommy the marker." He runs away screaming "NO!" We have also started doing little timeouts, because he keeps doing things like pushing a chair all the way across the kitchen so that he can climb on the oven or when he colored on the couch. He sits on the stairs with me and when he's done, I'll tell him "no climbing" or whatever and he says "k." It is actually working. I'm surprised at how much he understands. Ok, that sounds bad...I mean he's smarter than most 1 year olds I know. like just now, he handed me my phone and said "call daddy." I told him to put his coat in the closet earlier and he did it.

Work Fun Warning-Some graphic images

Posted in Labels: Work 4.1.09

I have always wanted to kind of highlight some of the animals at my work. Whenever the good ones come in, I always forget my camera *doh!* This time, I just took pics with my phone. They're not the greatest quality, but you get the idea. Friday was HORRIBLE! We get New Years Day off, so everyone waits until the 2nd to come in. It was so busy.
First is B. He is the sweetest Jack Russell. He reminds me a lot of Ryu. He came in on Christmas day on an emergency. Another dog attacked him. His throat was completely open and you could see his trachea. One of the drs. was showing me pictures of what it looked like before he stitched it up. He came back New Years Eve, we did surgery on him and found a hole through his esophagus. Every time he would eat, it would come back out the hole(gross huh...try cleaning that up). This caused the sutures to fail in a couple spots. We sedated him again on Friday while I was there and I helped put a feeding tube in(that's what the orange/brown tube is on top of his neck) and resuture the failing spots. I decided to spare the details and took a pic of him after surgery while we were out for a walk. Dr N talked his owners into letting him take care of B for a couple of weeks while the feeding tube is in. We were all talking about what a sweetheart he is and both the drs said that if the owners were leaning toward euthanizing him, they would take him home. I will write an update next week.

Next is puppies! We had a c-section on Friday too. One of my coworkers breeds English Bulldogs. These dogs, in my opinion, are unnatural. They can't get pregnant on their own or give birth on their own. We've become the bulldog specialists in Utah and see a LOT of them, therefore, we do a lot of c-sections. These puppies are some of my coworkers. These pics are graphic.
1. Is a pic of the Uterus with all the puppies inside.
2. Is a pic of the incision with him pulling a puppy out.
3. Is a pic of the puppy. He still has the membrane on him. The dr carefully takes this off and cleans him up.
4. The dr clamping the umbilical cord.
I couldn't get any pics after this point, it gets a little crazy. My job is to rub puppies, suction their noses and mouths, make sure they are breathing and their color looks good, and sometimes tie the cords and cut them.
5. All 8 puppies in a row :)
