<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mags is a Minnesota girl. </span>She was born here, yes, but more importantly she loves Minnesota. She loves sticking her tongue out while it's snowing. She loves standing in the cold wind. She slows her steps and dragged her feet through the snow. We watch hockey on TV all the time, we live in the state of hockey after all. She falls asleep while I read her the book <i>The Snowy Day</i>, EVERY night (Obsessive much?). So it should be of no surprise that when we went to our local arcade she adored watching her Uncle David playing air hockey. She wanted to 'help' him. And being the ever patient uncle he is, he slowed down his game so she could play. Her hand barely large enough to grasp the handle. The air puffing up into her wild hair. Her arms stretching as far as she could across the table top. All while dolled up in her RunDMC shirt and french braid!</div>

Answer, Nobody! But I am tired, physically yes but emotionally and mentally drained. I have not been out of the house in a week. 7 days. I have been cooped up in a house that otherwise is pleasant but today feels germier than ever. Germ plus 'ier' = new word of the day. Some brain cells are apparently functioning but in the course of typing a few sentences I have changed my core temperature 3 times. It's like menopause but not. Nope, not even close. The Pros are instant weight loss. I have never not wanted to eat. I don't skip meals and I'm not the size of a supermodel but I have had no appetite the past couple days and all I want is tea and maybe orange juice. I'm out of orange juice... put that under Con. Another pro is catching up on a massive lack of sleep. However restless and drug induced the sleep may be, it is highly appreciated and not taken for granted. Boogers are gross and while I have had a box of kleenex attached to me sense Tuesday, I didn't realize I had this much fluid in my head. Even with makeup, my skin is awesomely grey/white and not in a porcelain beautiful way but in a gaunt gross way.<br />
<br />
I really hope I am feeling better by tomorrow I don't have to patience to be sick for the long run. Mother nature give me the horrible 24 bug and then be done! Wham, hits you hard and then your done. That's all I'm asking for.<br />
<br />
Thank you Immune System!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Day 4 of having a sick child at home...</span> and all I can say is that it's extremely odd seeing Maggie calm and motionless at times. Maggie is ALWAYS moving. Jumping, self-stimming, bouncing on furniture, running up and down stairs - always moving! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday she woke up with lots of energy and that quickly disappeared as she began to get violently sick. By Sunday night she was exhausted, feverish and not taking any liquids. Day 4 and she is finally drinking and eating a little. Poor baby though is coughing and has low fever still. </div>

I knew she was upset with the Vikings loss Saturday night but this is a little extreme.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Maggie is the ultimate Hipster if you think about it</span>. She is crazy cool without even trying. Her wild hair is au natural and requires no product, doesn't even wash it everyday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Her diet - Lives on sparkling water, which may be considered uppity however she pulls it off. </div>

It's only a matter of time before she is reading poetry and going to a liberal arts college! I'm sure she'll be rockin' the next trendy look by then too.Miss Mykhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11817632667037720605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994630353634919906.post-31111737629573961002012-06-03T13:20:00.001-07:002012-06-03T13:20:31.980-07:00Days like this.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">When everything falls into place and it all works as planned... I'm pretty sure I'll be dead.</span> I was awoken prematurely by an adorable yet morning sunshine of a child. Needless to say I am still tired. I turned on Curious George on netflix for her while I showered and got dressed. Then I decided to get her dressed and venture on to church.<br />
<br />
Any time I take her out it can be hit or miss. But recently there have been so many hits!<br />
<br />
Yes Mags did not care to be quiet or sit still but I came prepared with books, chewy and juice. It wasn't Mags that made the morning difficult, but seeing everyone else. Seeing all the husbands and wives hold hands and smile at each other. It also didn't help that so much of the talks were about marriage and strengthening families. I watched as the older siblings entertain younger siblings. There was so much excitement, tears and laughs today because of the graduates leaving for college, end of school year awards, and Eagle Scout awards. A ton of great achievements but I sat there slightly sorry for myself about Mags and how different her life is.<br />
<br />
She was very grumpy and I brought her to class with me where she calmed down and played with her chewy. One woman walked by the door and saw us, she turned around, came in and invited Mags to join the other children. Mags was hesitant and it took some encouraging but she left and I heard no screams or crying. Good sign in my book.<br />
<br />
Afterwards one of her teachers came to find me and was so positive in how Mags pointed to her favorite color and knew the different colors! How she liked the pictures and found the fish! How she has a sweet and angelic demeanor.<br />
<br />
It reminded in a very humane way to appreciate the 'still small voice' of those in my life who encourage Mags. Remind me to not be pessimistic and value the person Mags IS, and not who she is not.<br />
<br />
I know that is some crazy positivity coming from me but I just felt uplifted.<br />
<br />
Smile!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">It's been a wild, exciting, friends and food filled few months! </span>I apologize for being a terribly forgetful and lazy blogger. I really should improve and make it a goal to blog at least once a month. Although in my defense I have been a FULL time student and pretty good at it. (bragging slightly but who has a 4.0... yeah Myk does) But in other news I have a ton of pictures to recap moments of the past few months. </div>

Maxwell is one of Mags classmates who is obsessed with trains and his personal space. He and Mags are perfect playmates for these two reasons! He doesn't mind when she mouths his toys and she likes that he doesn't want to touch her and they only have to half interact. </div>

Weather is completely out of my control and it has been insane. Hot and humid one day. Freezing and dark. Pouring rain and grey. Sunny and perfect. Take the good with the bad so to speak. But recently it's been a lot of rain. I mean Biblical flood kind of raining.<br />

My younger brother David went with a friend to the Black Keys concert and I was really jealous but excited for him too. It was his first concert and he had a great time. And I will probably 'borrow' his shirt...<br />

Mags is nothing if not opinionated and when it comes to music she makes it clear what she likes and what she does not. Currently she is in love with Adele, Gotye, Kaskade, & Fun. She has great taste in music and I love listening to new and different stuff but sometimes She just wants her mix.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 180%;">I used to think my sister was a picky eater... WOW Maggie puts her to shame!</span> Now on the up side she makes Madonna look like a fats food junkie so it could be worse. But all this healthy eating in tiny portion does not a make a girl gain some meat on her bones! She is a skinny mini so when she will actually eat something I try to give her as much as possible! She was requesting cupcakes so I made gluten free cupcakes and let her have 2, that's right I give me child TWO cupcakes!

At first I thought I was crazy or dreaming but it was my puppy on the front porch! I was unbelievably happy! He is on antibiotics and pain medication. He has a bandage and for the sack of those who are squeemish I won't post pictures of his actual wounds.

I immediately was annoyed knowing he jumped the fence to chase a dog or squirrel. He had done this before but he came back or our nice neighbor brought him home. We searched for him and asked our neighbors but they hadn't seen him. The thought that came to mind was animal control picked him up and now I am going to have to pay to bail him out! But then a very sweet police officer called me and came to the house to talk with me. He informed me that Jack had been hit by a car in front of our house by an incredibly broken up distant neighbor who did the right thing and called the police department. I just lost it. Broke down in tears blaming myself for thinking about petty fees and that I was annoyed with his energy of jumping the fence and felt terrible that my puppy, all energy and sometimes annoying habits but incredibly sweet puppy, was now gone. </div><div>I took this picture last week. </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkGSiNIX-srptjykststLggHZS1_axhr_t5XTvwAFbzVBlqvTW2njtvQRDertuApZxkfP33DIjKQoK89zQYQgne3kW1B6OqQeTRh6vTdKFxh9ob4GqUATnt5y6ZaO6_KPGs7Q8ePhb8k/s1600/IMG_0545.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkGSiNIX-srptjykststLggHZS1_axhr_t5XTvwAFbzVBlqvTW2njtvQRDertuApZxkfP33DIjKQoK89zQYQgne3kW1B6OqQeTRh6vTdKFxh9ob4GqUATnt5y6ZaO6_KPGs7Q8ePhb8k/s400/IMG_0545.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703131415618616850" /></a>Miss Mykhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11817632667037720605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994630353634919906.post-54933377840041324812012-01-21T14:10:00.001-08:002012-01-21T14:17:40.817-08:00Heart of the Matter<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;">Update on the lil' Mags heart condition. </span><div><br /></div><div>Maggie has finally broke the 40 lbs mark!

And by together I mean in the same room and making occasional eye contact :) They are sweet together. And being around other parents who experience the same situations that I do make it seem.......... REAL. Real in the sense I'm not the only parent who has these experiences. both kids were 'Stiming' on the floor. Mouthing everything!

Well then do we have a lot in common! When I brought Mags home from the hospital as a baby, she cried but everyone knows that's what newborns do! However as time went by and with each excruciating road trip, changes had to be made. I would plan trips to the store while she was at therapy or have my parents watch her if I needed to run to the bank. Even short trips were miserable. Now I don't have any brilliant solutions but I can tell you, when she was finally big enough (20 months) to change car seats to a forward facing seat, life got better. I mean not drastically at first but gradually. Baby steps! And I am happy to say there is light at the end of the tunnel - this sweet child was happy the majority of the road trip from minneapolis to chicago! What more could a mom want? </div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXoErFbxE_ueIKd6tNifn1KM_gfJ498eXP2m-koATJfkDT0IhupsjoDRIwr2sBFTagZRjwPvuh5nWU6ath9JdtBzdSPPk7yI-zDzCE25ggUXOYmqG8ZhfTs8A9wYBZALYmY8SMcx3HmFk/s1600/388153_10150482764129641_815669640_8249618_1404798903_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXoErFbxE_ueIKd6tNifn1KM_gfJ498eXP2m-koATJfkDT0IhupsjoDRIwr2sBFTagZRjwPvuh5nWU6ath9JdtBzdSPPk7yI-zDzCE25ggUXOYmqG8ZhfTs8A9wYBZALYmY8SMcx3HmFk/s400/388153_10150482764129641_815669640_8249618_1404798903_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693417841975821842" /></a>Miss Mykhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11817632667037720605noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994630353634919906.post-80418891453375342462012-01-03T06:39:00.000-08:002012-01-03T06:48:17.136-08:00Cookies<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;">Vegan, gluten free cookie decorating?
