Jealous much?!!

Check out the snow fall in our neck of the woods! It snowed approx 8-12 inches on Sunday to Monday alone. There is so much we're running out of places to stack it while shoveling! We don't have parkways so it's between the sidewalk and roadway - AWESOME!

Okay so I should be sleeping but the insomnia bug has hit again. I mean I'm all for being up WITH energy; if you're going to be awake, might as well make good use of it. Sadly that is not the case.
It's more constant lists of things you want to do, but can't, going through your head-works wonders on my anxiety! Realizing I have a chronic illness & can't control my on & off days, just adds to my feelings of being lazy/useless. I'm trying with all that is in me to pace myself. That is really hard to do when you're ... well ...ME! It is a constant work in progress. I will succeed, I'll figure it out eventually. Right? Or at least figure out all the ways that don't work - that is still progress and I'll take it in any way!

One Tired Little Girl AND Momma!!

Okay so we've been dealing with a lot of things at once. One of those things is helping Eliza so she can function at school & primary! She is bright & funny, but very distractable. Last year I took her to be evaluated for an auditory processing disorder. This was a precaution taken because of her prematuritiy. Her Pediatrician wanted to rule it out before deciding on an adhd diagnosis. So off to the clinic we went only to find us back there for 2 more evaluations that had nothing to do with her hearing (which was perfect btw). Instead they involved Asperger's testing followed by an Autistic spectrum disorder diagnosis! We went from being cautious to just plain confused. You know when you get a diagnosis & it explains things & makes sense? Well this was the opposite. It was leaving confused, frustrated, angry, & exhausted. In May was her Kindergarten check up. Pedi sees her, disagrees &
wants a re-evaluation. FINALLY we had her appt today & after 2+ hrs it's ADHD like we thought.

Mormon Messages...

LDS.org is my home page. I do this to remind myself to say my prayers and read my scriptures daily (more in the morning - I struggle to remember). So as I was reading the home page of LDS.org they have these Mormon messages that they post on youtube.com. You can also share them on facebook.com or other social networking sites. There are quite a few that I loved personally because they are taken from general authorities' talks and they just so happen to be my favorite talks, the ones I quote and use for daily reference. So I wanted to share some of them.
