Cheerio Breath– 1/29/2007

Posted by: Betsy on: January 29, 2007

Everyone told me, “Savanna will LOVE Cheerios. They wil help her with her fine motor skills, she’ll gain confidence from self feeding, and on and on and on”. And, Savanna does love Cheerios, any flavor– regular, Honey Nut, Berry Burst, Multi Grain.
What I wasn’t told is that CHEERIO BREATH IS ENOUGH TO KILL A PERSON!
I [...]

Sick, Sick Savanna– 1/26/2007

Posted by: Betsy on: January 26, 2007

My sweet girl is sick. She has a chest, nasal, and double ear infection. Savanna is on antibiotics and is taking Motrin to keep the fever down. 
My poor little girl.
It scares me every time she gets sick. It’s strange, I feel confident in so many areas of my life, but  the “Mom” part of me is [...]

Her Name is Cheyanne– 1/23/2007

Posted by: Betsy on: January 23, 2007

(See  previous 2 posts). Something so small as getting new clothes made a precious little girl, Cheyanne, so happy. You should have seen her face when I walked through the door (I left the clothes with Patti in the morning so Cheyanne could try them on after school, before I picked Savanna up, to prevent any embarrassment she [...]

URGENT– Revlon Color Silk #55 (1/18/2007)

Posted by: Betsy on: January 18, 2007

I found my favorite hair color
The shade was reddish brown
But when it was time to color again
#55 was no where to be found
I know all of you purchasing #55 are
innocent as can be
But if you could see my two-toned
hair right now
You’d say “I can’t believe what I see!”
So, have mercy on this poor soul
And rescue [...]

Posted by: Betsy on: January 15, 2007

First, let me say, “THANK YOU” to all you brave souls who introduced yourselves to me. It was nice to meet you and feel free to read in “lurkdome” or leave comments. I do know there are many more of you who didn’t “come out”; I hope you will in time. I like to meet new [...]

National Delurker Day– 1/12/2007

Posted by: Betsy on: January 12, 2007

Well, “National” might be stretching it some, but I like the way it sounds. Heck, why not make it a National holiday? Another day off from work so we can read blogs definitely works for me!
Okay, I know there a several folks that read this blog, and I’m glad that you do. It helps me, [...]

Building Compassion– 1/10/2007

Posted by: Betsy on: January 10, 2007

When I have time alone (on my way to work) I ask myself “what core values do I want to instill in Savanna and how will I go about teaching her these core values? ”Compassion” is very high on my list. And, now that Savanna has been known to bite other kids (2-3 times), push and shove “the pugs” on a daily basis, [...]
