Hello all, So its been one really crappy week for family and friends.so it started 2 weeks ago when scotts uncle went to have some knee surgery done (health issue #1) then this uncles wife was doing house work and was gonna do some laundry and had a severe fall. She was very brittle to start. She broke her hip,pelvic bone, wrist on one arm and a finger on the other arm, her nose her eye socket bone, a few vertibres and a mild brain bleed. ( health issue#2) then his uncle graham has been having stomach digestive issues and after a few hospital visits has been diagnosed with pancreatitis. ( health issues#3) then we got word our friends daughter feel down bike riding and broke her elbow.(health issue #4) then we got word my dear aunt feel and possibly broke some bones and has a very swollen leg. (Health issue #5) and at last the last is scott. :-( his eye sight got so bad that he literally couldn't see anything outta his left eye. Its gotten better though.

hello all,
So im over my emotional rollar coaster. thats just was what it was got my hormones re evaluated after crying for no reason. they were too high. now they are just right. NOW TO MORE EXCITING NEWS. THE OBAMA CARES LAW WAS PASSED. YIPPEE WE NOW CAN FEEL CONFIDENT IN FINDING WORK AND AT THE SAME TIME POSSIBLY FINALLY GETTING OFF COBRA SO WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SOMEWHAT AFFORD LIFE AGAIN. ONE OF SCOTTS MEDS WOULD HAVE COSTED 2,000 DOLLARS A MONTH YUP THATS RIGHT EVERY SINGLE MONTH. THIS MED IS A ANTI-REJECTION MED SO ITS NOT EXACTLY OPTIONAL. SOOO VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW. OBAMA IS A GREAT PRESIDENT THAT IS FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!!

so ive been either extremly emotional lately, or nobody cares about scott and I. i hope its the 1st. ive sent out numerous e-mails and fb post about my blog. but i only have 3 followers. and in the term followers it means to me this is how many people actually care. i know more care but just dont know how to share it, and i got the rudest personal fb msg from a friend of a friend of a friend about how stupid i am to have my hyterectomy, and that if i truely want to have children then i should have waited, i replyed ummm sure id love to knowingly bring a child into the world that would have a 85% chance of being born YUP I SAID BEING BORN with kidney failure, or we can adopt. and there are thousands of awsome kids waiting for a forever family. i though how mean to say to me sure why dont she just get endometriosis and have constant pain, and during the mentral cycle have the pain be un bearable. ummm NO THANK YOU!!!! im so glad i had my surgery im not in constant pain anymore. and in my heart and mind i currently have a child his name is Archie and so what if hes a cat, hes my kiddo and im his Mama. and he snores just like his Daddy. we have also had ppl run in the other direction when they hear disease nfrom both scott and I. its like OMG what chickens. its not as if its contagious. were no different i mean we are stronger together and we have learned a lot and have changed our ways in many aspects. we wont go there. we had a crisis. but really for ppl to run in fear of us. and ppl think i didnt have a disease too. well i did its called endometriosis and guess what IT SUCKS!!!!! or it did. and all you preggo women, I HATE THE INTERNAL ULTRASOUNDS they suck too!!!! and they hurt due to my very large cyst i had. so happy to NOT have to do those again... but people treat us different. NOT everyone treats us different but some. I can always depend on my grandparents on my moms side of the fam. Love them both sooo much. My aunt Patti I absolutly LOVE my auntie Patti-ANN if your ever down ive learned all you gotta do is call aunt Patti and she'll cheer you up. life wouldnt be the same with out her. Tandy and Andrea my tow best friends in all the world (except my hubby of course) they never turned and ran. when tandy and her hubbs and he lil one came to visit last xmas she doesnt do well with needles but she came while we were dialysing scott. and andrea i could always call day or nite whenever i needed her. but some ppl treat us different. i wouldnt trade our challenges for anything but trust me you wouldnt want to have your spouse or yourself go thru kidney failure. im sorry if i offended anyone im just feeling like nobody cares.
I love U all

Oh My goodness what a week. so this week my head was itching and i felt like there was tiny creepy crawlers running around on my head. well i did i had head lice. MISERABLE. so my wounderful hubby was willing to try and get them out with this real;ly fine toothed comb with my long thick, THICK CURLY hair. well to sum it up I CUT MY OWN HAIR or started the cutting atleasst. i knew scott couldnt make the 1st snipping. so i did. while he is looking at me with the look of horror. but i knew there was no other way. so i have shorter hair now. im donating 10 1/2 inches to locks of love. then then then  well our car..... yup our car SUCKS!!!!! we have been having so much car trouble. the darn caution engine main car problem signs keeps coming on. grrr so irritating. so again we are taking it into the dealers. so annoying cause were basically with out a car and having to have scotts mom take us anywhere, and shes a bit crabby lately.  no matter how hard you try to do things to help out she gets onry about it either you #1 didnt do anything #2 you did it wrong and this is how you did it wrong. #3 the way you do it is wrong the way she does it is right and you just dont do a good enough job. mmmm do you wounder WHY we are not inviting her to go to the zoo with us (other then her hella scary driving) yup basically we think there might be something medically or something else thats making her sooo very irrational. i mean she nags when the cat uses the litterbox then she nags if they dont. nags if anyone is ever having a good time. i think shes just gone extremly BITTER and hates seeing anyone ever having any fun. ugh enough with that so i really hope our car is okay. so not wanting to do car shopping.

So this is my mostly picture blog on all the different projects ive been working so hard on for different babys and babys to be and also some lil toddlers out there. hope you ladies enjoy reading through my post and enjoy the gifts i made for you.

May 9, 2012

Hello ALL!! here in washington we have had such wounderful weather. we have had blue sky and sunshine all day along with the wind. its been A VERY LONG 2 WEEKS since scott went to do his training. he is doing well. He cant wait to come home and bring the knowledge that he has aquired and put it to work. also move out of his moms house soon. i cant wait for that. to find a place and turn it into a home for us. i have been so terribly lonely since he left. he will be home in 2 days 7 hours as of 5:15 pm.

hello all. im definitly posting more. its been a very trying week. found out yesterday that my grandmother on my dads side of the family has been diagnosed with stage 3 kidney failure. its NOT reversable. but it kinda sucks cause she WILL NOT qualify for a transplant,. so basically she has very high chances of dieing from kidney failure. at least with dialysis she will be able to live a little longer. Scott and I know what its like to go down the path of kidney failure. so please keep her and my grandfather in your prayers.

So here is a post with some pics. i finally learned how to add pics. lol

Archie & Ghosty sitting TOGETHER! we think Archie was getting jelous.

Archie sitting on top of his daddys suitcase.



Didnt I say WE were being dorks

Scott and I were being GOOFY @ the grocery store they had these frames.

so scott left today for california for training for his new job. my hormones definitly are NOT leveled out yet cause yesterday when i was crying i cried about everything. 1st it was cause i was gonna miss him like crazy and be lonely and then the cat gave me a look and then i started bawling about the way the cat looked at me, then about my hormones. but the most of my crying was over me being such a cry baby. i even cryed the whole way home. but thats why i brought Archie with me and usually he just chills in the car but he was howling. now this cat NEVER HOWLS.  hes no dummy he knows that it was daddy that was leaving due to the suitcases. and let me tell you hes a BIG daddy's BOY!! but he LOVES his MAMA as well. here are some cute pics.

scott practicing wearing the mask so he dont get sick!!

Archie trying to tell daddy "take me with you"

the boys giving the neighbor dog the evil look!!!

BAGHEERA

i cryed for the 1st time this yr. for my baby boy. i misws my bagheera and i hope that where ever he is and who ever his new family is that they take good care of him and love him as i still do. BAGS I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!

our good news

hello All,
So scott and I went to the nephrologist today for his monthly check up. its his kidney dr. and the dr. is very pleased with how well scotts transplant has been going. there have been no severe transplant complications. except for c diff which consequently my grama had at the same time so grampa and i got to compare notes. it was kinda fun. then i had been thinking a lot lately. we are officially starting our process for becoming certified foster parents to begin our waiting for the call that they have a child that is ready for adoption. we are starting this research now so we can get on the waiting list for a toddler and his/her older brother or sister. ( we only want 2) . we will officially start the process when scott starts working again. im soooo super excited to reach the point of adopting 2 children. they will be OUR CHILDREN. and im so tired of ppl always stating but they arent your bio wise. well you know what i dont care about that. i found out if we had had a child before my surgery they would have had a 85% change of BEING BORN WITH KIDNEY FAILURE. thats because of scotts diabetes with the kidney failure. i would much rather give 2 children the 2nd chance of having a PERMANENT family!!!!!! i hope everyone who cares and loves us will care and love our children just as much. for i believe children are a gift from God!!!!

Hermione is back with spunk!!!!

So we found our Hermione. well actually she found us. Then her and our male dragon weisley started doing their mating dance. this happens each late winter early spring. keep in mind bearded dragons are only preggers for 1 month. we noticed she started getting quite round and lumping. kinda looked and felt like she had tons of marbles in her. so at 1st we tought she only laid 6 eggs, but upon placing her back in the cage i noticed 4 more in the cage. prolly not seen because i think they were under her. then the next day i noticed another egg next to her. then again this morning i noticed yet another egg. dang this lil dragon had layed a total of 13 eggs.

aint life wounderful

life has just been flying by. it feels like it was yesterday that scott got his transplant. also feels like hours ago that i awoke from my surgery. BTW i feel AWSOME!!! im going to start blogging on a once a week basis. scotts been given the "go ahead" to start looking for work *YEAH* i hope everyone else is enjoying life as much as we are. we have recently welcomed into our home a stray cat and he seems quite happy and content on staying inside alot. we think he was abandoned. his name is ghosty. archies still @ a toleration basis. Love and hugs to all.

hysterectomy

Yes my time to have my surgery to remove all my inside female reproductive organs will be on Feb.9th. As this wasnt my 1st option on getting rid of my endometrium cyst, well the oral contraceptives didnt get rid of it. we knew it was a matter of time after my cystectomy that the endometriosis would flare up again. And since we are FIRM on our decision to adopt we though why not just do the surgery and GET RID OF THE AGONIZING PAIN. they are doing a robot assist. with the davinci robot. goodle davinci robot. youll learn a lot. i should recover quickly. scotts updating most via txt msg. thank you all for your support with this. we love you and shall hear from scott(tandy) others will hear from grandpa yancey. soon about my surgery.
Love Scott & Tanya
