When is enough really going to get here!?!

I guess I should be thankful. This just proves that I am needed, loved, appreciated and wanted.

I still need a vacation. I want a vacation really just me and handsome, NO KIDS.

...anybody want to kidsit.???

I am hoping Santa brings me another all day Sanctuary Day-Spa gift certificate. The hydro therapy body polish they offer takes you to another level. UNBELIEVABLE!!! UNBELIEVABLE!

Oh my gosh, just thinking about it made me lose track of what I'm doing here....that's how I know I need a day at the spa again.

I am getting nervous now about meeting with the neurosurgeon. As time ticks a little closer the nerves are getting a little frazzled.

There have been so many good people who are constantly telling me that this will be fine. I hold on to those words so tightly. One lady told me how she knew of a young boy who had to have brain surgery and how they did it as an outpatient surgery and he was home the same day running around and playing.

I don't know about all of that.

So many people friends from the TSA (Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance) facebook group have been so encouraging. There was a lady that wrote to me from Canada that is so wonderful to me. She wrote some really great things that brought peace to my soul as she is dealing with my same situation, but I think her son is bit more severe that Alex.

Tuberous Sclerosis is such a masking kind of disorder. There are those who have this disorder who suffer from severe symptoms. Alex has been blessed and we are immensely grateful that his symptoms are, for the most part, mild. Other than the seizures, you really would not suspect that he has TS. He carries a 3.8 GPA. Plays sports all the time. Soccer & basketball being his addictions of choice. He makes and keeps friends and the silly girls are starting the flock. I WILL BE PUTTING AN END TO THAT. This kid is going to be fine...I tell myself this, I have faith that all will be well.

Aiden, Aiden, Aiden. Why in the world did we give him a name that means fiery. I truly believe people live up to their names and that we should name our children carefully. We made a bad call. This kid makes our home ring. We would probably be the quietest people of the block, but we have our own little noise maker.

He is my reason for changing my degree major from business to psychology, with emphasis on children. I hope this will help me gain an understanding of what makes this kid so defiant. Dave is always saying, he thinks we will have to sign him up for military school....

The Rubied Apple is keeping me busy.  I am adding new things all the time. I just finished 13 pairs of new earrings I have to get posted sometime today.

Busy is my life and I am grateful for it.
