ha-ha! Is this even possible??
Over the weekend I kept coming up with all types of things, but never got around a computer to post them, or even write my thoughts in Word and save them for a later date...Now, that I am around a computer ALL DAY LONG I can't think of anything except to talk about how I can't think of anything to post for your entertainment. I'm so sorry. :o( I will try and do better!
Thats all I got...

Must share quick photo!
My mom came into town on Monday because I was off from work and she had a dental appt. so, naturally, we went SHOPPING! We decided it was time for some ice-cream (even though it was FREEEZING outside..) and here is the picture... :o)
and about 30 seconds after this picture was taken, she dove right into the icecream bowl, knocking it over and making a big mess all over the table! :o) She was totally wanting that ice cream!
[Props go out to the chick at Cold Stone Creamery at Eastchase for making this scrumptious treat! It was Chocolate Devotion in a dipped waffle cone!]

"Are you being rude? or Are you having an 'off' day??"
SERIOUSLY LADY??
I am just sitting here minding my own business, blogging and what not, in "the zone". And this B of a lady walks up and goes, "Can you help me?" and I said yes. and she just sort of stares at me and I said, "what can I help you with?" and I go about business as usual with my students and then she had the nerve to ask who my supervisor was and if she needed to report me because I was being "rude" ... HAHA! ok lady, I am sorry that I didn't call upon you and apologized for not doing so. I know that you think you are a supreme being, BUT YOU ARE NOT! Yes I am here to serve the students of this university, but there is no NEED to point out the smallest downfalls of our employees, thank you! SO GET A LIFE and stop making mine hell.
thanks. have a nice day :O)

Good Morning Mr. President.
As I lay in my bed last night watching the glamour that is the (many) Inaugural Balls, I couldn't help but notice how truly down to earth and "real" the Obamas seemed to be. It cracked me up when they finished dancing to the famous Etta James' "At Last" at the Youth Ball, Obama and his wife Michelle stood side-by-side and Obama said, "That is what you call Old-School!" ha ha! I couldn't help but to laugh out loud at that comment. oh, and Michelle looked FABULOUS in her one-of-a-kind ivory gown! It was gorgeous!
I also couldn't help but to imagine their first night as a family in their new home on Pennsylvania Ave. I was thinking if I were Michelle, and my husband was just sworn in as the new leader of the free world and we went to several balls and danced the night away and talked to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and met tons of celebs, how turned on I would be knowing how powerful my man has just become in the matter of 24 hours! ;o) Don't you know there was some kind of hanky panky going on in the White House last night! Now, I know, some of you are thinking, "GROSS!" ...but seriously, all you married women, think about it!! You're kids are in the opposite end of your home playing with their friends they invited over to watch movies and eat popcorn and you and your new "commander-in-chief" hubby are in the complete other end of the house....what would you be doing!!??... I think about that more now about our new President, than ever before, I guess, because they are a fairly young couple and because they seem so "real" as I said before. They seem like regular people who poop, throw-up and boogy down in front of millions of people at a ball that was thrown in honor of themselves! Pretty awesome if you ask me.
At any rate, I just want to say, Congratulations to President Obama and his First Lady, Michelle as well as their two charming girls. Even though this isn't what I voted for, it's time to drop the bitterness and resentment to everyone who did vote for him and MOVE ON! There is nothing we can do now to change who he is. So, now is the time to have faith, pray, and know that he will guide this country where we need to be! Go Obama go. Today is the 1st day of a new world...EMBRACE it! and get ready, because I have a feeling things are about to become different.

Seriously?...
It literally took me about 15 minutes to come up with a clever name for this blog...not the heading at the top (see: [single]Mom's the Word.) but the ____.blogspot.com part. I am a tid bit embarrassed by this fact. ha! Case sir rah (or something like that) I suppose...
You may recognize me from my old blog, which nobody really visited much, I don't think? I got rid of that e-mail and (I guess) forgot my password to log on to that blog and delete it. any who...I am here not with a *NEW & IMPROVED* blog!
*Clears throat and stands up straight*
I am the mother of a NICU baby.
Reagan was born on August 13 with Meconium Aspiration Syndrome. (see full story here) She came home on October 21, 2008 and is doing wonderfully! We go back to Children's Hospital every now and then for check-ups. She will go back sometime in March for her neurology check-up. (She developed seizures due to a bleed in her head while in Children's Hospital) Other than that she is healthy and developing on time. She officially rolled over to her belly on January 3rd and recently has begun to blow rasberries at her mommy and anyone who will pay her attention, which basically is EVERYBODY/ANYBODY who is around her! :o) I couldn't be prouder! She LOVES Sweet Potatoes, Squash, and Green Beans! I have given her some fruits but mostly vegetables. Hopefully this will make her like veggies as she grows! I'm such a trickster! She is the light of my life and the joy of my days! I have learned and still learning to be "joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer". God has done some MIGHTY works in not only Reagan's life, but mine! I always hear from my family, friends, and the occassional stranger how strong I have been through everything! All I can tell them is "It's God, not me!" Looking back at my sleepless nights and sometimes days in Birmingham at Children's Hospital, it amazes me of how strong I was. I can remeber the joy that flooded my heart the day the discharge nurse came in Reagan's room and asked me if I "wanted to take her home today" !! It brings tears, smiles, and shivers as I contemplate on that hardship my family and I went through those 2.5 months that seemed like ETERNITY!
Now I get to watch my sweet miracle baby girl roll over, blow rasberries and begin to, what a proud mommy would call, giggle! :o) She is purely AMAZING!
Stay tuned for daily posts! (or atleast every other day.)
