I never said I was a good blogger.

I recently got reminded that I have a blog... bahahaha! I'm terrible at remembering to update this type of thing.. it's like having a diary. I find it, write in it for a short time, then forget about/lose it for a while.

So, what's happened in the last... 10 months? Well, a lot.

My girls are now 28 months and 14 months old. They're both very active toddlers, who love to make me nutty. McKenzie's been diagnosed to have a severe speech delay, and Glen's currently taking her to weekly speech therapy sessions... There's a bit of improvement, but not a whole lot. Emily talks almost as much as McKenzie does! Emily's also learning that if she points at exactly what she wants, and signs please, she has a better chance of getting it than McKenzie when she just throws a tantrum. We've been living in a 2bdrm basement apartment for the last 5 months, but last month our landlord told us that he wants his cousin to move in, so we had to leave by april 1st... The apartment my parents were living in was less than ideal, too, so we've decided to move back together again. We've got a house that's only a few blocks away from the last house we were at. Kinda ironic, in a way.

Dad's study was a failure. His spleen grew too much. Now he's on a new study, but it's a double blind, so he doesn't know if he has drug or placebo. We all feel he's got a placebo. He's been discussing with surgeons about having his spleen removed. Fortunately, he's consolidated all his cancer care to the hospital down in the city, so instead of having to come to the hospital in town here twice a week when he needed transfusions, he does ALL his appointments in one day down there. Transfusion and everything.

Dad's also retired. I've basically taken his place in the driving business until I can get an office job. This job is killing us, financially... gas is outrageous. Glen might be taken on full-time at his current position, so hopefully we'll see some better paycheques soon.

Emily's still nursing... she'll probably keep going until she's 2. I'm okay with that.

Aaaaaaaaaand I've been dealing with all kinds of stuff, so I've gone on anti-anxiety meds. They've at least been helping me sleep, which is nice. I probably should have upped my dosage over the last couple weeks, with all that's been going on, but they tend to make me sound dopey, so I'd rather not risk that while driving. I've only been taking one at night, as opposed to the max of 4/day I can take. Unfortunately, a lot of my headaches have returned, too. I used to have never-ending migraines several years ago, and I thought they'd gone away, but not lately.

I'm going to go to bed now... have a good night, interwebz!
