Personality Test

Check this site out: http://memoriter.net/flash/test.html

Don't read my results until you have done it yourself, if you plan to...otherwise you will not be "totally honest" with your answers b/c you will know what to put.

Most of my answers were right on for me:

A) Priorities in my life:
1. Tiger--PRIDE
2. Horse--FAMILY
3. Sheep--LOVE
4. Cow--CAREER
5. Pig--MONEY
This is pretty telling about me...I figured that family would have gone first, and the funny thing is I actually went back and forth about these two answers while taking the test...so I would say we are looking at a 49%-51% split on these two answers.

B) Personalities:
1. Dog = My personality = LOVING---(this is exactly how I see myself)
2. Cat = My partners personality = INDEPENDENT (so Jonathan)
3. Rat = Personality of my enemies = DIRTY (AGREE)
4. Coffee = How I interpret sex :)--this one is funny = DELICIOUS (This just makes me giggle)
5. Sea = Implies my own life = TRANQUILITY (maybe this is where I am heading???

C) PEOPLE & COLORS
1. Yellow-Someone I'll never forget = JONATHAN
2. ORANGE-True friend = DADDY
3. RED-Someone I really love = JAIME (my sister)
4. WHITE-My twin soul = Megan (this one was crazy...maybe that is why I feel so close to you even though I have never met you!)
5. GREEN-Someone that you will remember for the rest of your life = MICAH (this one freaks me out a bit...why will I "remember" him? I know crazy and negative, but it makes me worry)

D) NUMBERS and DAY: 18 and Saturday...supposedly if I sent this to 18 people that my wish will be answered on Saturday...we will see!

Roller Coaster Life

Okay, I am trying so very hard to be positive and happy all the time with respect to Micah and his health...as a matter of fact, for a very short few days, my only concerns about his health had to do with whether he was going to pull that darn button out of his tummy.

But the craziness that is Micah's heart has started in again, and I feel almost betrayed by it. I have always been told that Micah's heart is in good shape, which I know in comparison to many other hearts, his is...but why does his heart go into heart failure so fast? Why do I still have to sit and watch how fast he is breathing, how sweaty he gets and how puffy his eyes look to me? I know that he will forever be a "heart baby" in my eyes, but why can't I just see it as something about him. I am not wanting his health to define him...he is such a special little boy...so curious, full of life, excited, energetic and smart...but all this health crap just keeps getting in his way.

I am very scared...but the problem is...I do not know what to be scared of. Like I said, I have always been told that this heart will last him his lifetime...but how long is his lifetime going to be? I know that is a question that none of us can answer, as there are buses out there that hit people, planes that crash and wars that kill millions of people...but I just want to know that my precious, sweet, charming little boy is going to beat his heart problems.

I guess that is the main thing going on right now...I feel like I truly am on a roller coaster since one minute I am fine and the next I am crawled up on the floor crying like a baby. I just want to be able to drift through life and enjoy every single minute that I am given with my three precious children, but all I seem to find myself being is mean, tired and sad. So, hopefully, now that I have gotten this out of my system, I can go and have a beautiful day.

The saga continues

If you have not read the first email from my sister, please do that first...then this one:
=========================================================
Ok, so maybe I didn't mean everything in the last email. Sending emails like that is how wars get started. I was upset and worried and did not follow Dad's cardinal rule, of waiting at least 24 hours. I am upset that I didn't know what was going on and it, well frankly, kinda pissed me off, as I love all three kids very much.

I was just disappointed and hurt that you didn't think enough of your me to let me know.

I also understand that this is not about me, but about the Micah so I need to let that go.

So that's all.

By the way, J--- went to opening day for the D-backs last night and went got some things for kids. I am sending the box, but J--- was the one who got the the gifts. He wanted to send them something.

That's all. Can you please keep me posted?
===================================================
So much drama....I am just too tired for this...I am getting too old.

Sisterly love!

Is it any wonder that I do not have a closer relationship to my sister...here is the email that I get from her the day before my child goes into surgery....isn't this just wonderful!


Samantha,

This will be the last correspondence that I plan on having with you, unless it is in regards to our parents. I just wanted to let you know that I think you are a very cold and mean person. It is unacceptable that writing a blog on line is an acceptable form of communication with your sister. I don’t read your blog every time there is an update, as a normal kind, loving sister would call if there was a family health issue or concern.

I did not know that your son was having surgery tomorrow, as you didn’t care enough about your own sister to call and tell me. I have a hard time believing that you didn’t have time, as you obsessively write updates on your blog. Please don’t insult my intelligence with statements like you didn’t have time, because anyone who can write novels on line has time to call their sister. That is if they care about their sister, which is clear you do not.

I am no longer a part of your life or your children’s lives. I guess you got what you have always wanted Samantha…to get rid me. I hope you’re satisfied now. I would have thought that as a mother with three children you would appreciate having a sister, but apparently it only made you realize how much you hate having a sister.

You have hurt me for the last time; I have no more emotion or tears for you.

Internet quizzes!

Okay...my friend Kellie got me going on these things...I must say that most of this stuff is true...hmmm...

What Type of Weather Are You?

Let the worrying begin

Here I go again with my major worries and fears, and again, they are for good reasons, but there are others with so many more serious issues (like little Eli who is going to have open heart surgery really soon). I am so afraid of this whole g-button thing. I do not want Micah to have to go through anymore surgery, but here we are. I have the confidence in this being the right thing to do, especially since Micah has been about the same weight for the last year! That is just disgusting to me. I just looked back in his journal and at his 9 month appointment he was 17.5 lbs and in the 10th percentile...now he is 18.5 lbs and below the chart. So, I know that this is the right thing to do, I just need to explain that to my head and my heart...I don't want this. I am one big disaster...that is about all I can say.

I want out

I want out of this heart world. I am exhausted. I find myself saying how unfair this is and I don't even have as sick of a baby as so many others out there. I feel guilty that I am being this way...look at how lucky I am. I have three beautiful children...the sick one is still doing terrific in the eyes of his cardiologist, so why do I fear for his life every single day? Why do I wonder if he is going to be taken from me way too soon? I don't fear this with the older two...maybe I should? I don't know. I worry...I always have worried, but not like this. I think that as I am approaching the two year mark of living this life of constant worry, I am finding myself as a person I never expected to know. Why have I learned all this medical crap? I wanted to be a doctor a long, long time ago, but even as late as in high school, the most medical I ever wanted was psychiatry. As much as I admire and respect all the other heart families I have met...I wish I could turn back time and never have entered this world. Why did I take that damn medicine when I knew in my heart I was pregnant? I know, it is not rational that I did this to him, but what if I did? What if I have single handedly destroyed this beautiful, lovable, almost perfect little person who struggles every single day to gain weight and who has had to endure more procedures and surgeries than his own mother and father combined? I want to not be a heart mom anymore. I want to return to my life of not even knowing that there were pediatric cardiologists, pediatric GI docs, pulmonologists, urologists, genetics doctors and so many more in the world...to a day when I did not even know that there were such things as feeding tubes, nebulizers and RSV. I want to return to the life where I had never heard of three babies dying within one month of each other and finding myself crying over them, even though I had only met one in person. I want to return to my last pregnancy and be able to enjoy it instead of worry and cry constantly not knowing if he was going to be born alive, or if that beautiful boy would not be strong enough to fight. I look at him (and the other two wonders in my life) and I am so thankful...but do I have to be thankful for the heart defect? I really don't think I do have to be thankful for it. I also do not think that I am strong enough to pull myself through this. I look at myself in the mirror and I no longer see happiness...I see a scared woman who is always angry and sad. I want to be happy and I want to see all of my babies thrive and be successful. That was my every intention in this motherhood thing, and now, I do not know if I did them any justice.
