Seizing Halloween

Originally posted 2014-11-02 00:49:03. On the last day of the EEG testing and it had gone so well…but wait, there is more. So the technician was scheduled to be here around 9am so I wake Dusty up at 8:30am so that he could take his medications and be ready when he got here. He gets up, uses the bathroom, and then goes into the kitchen to get his cup of water to start to take…

Servicemember Civil Relief Act

Originally posted 2017-12-08 07:23:52. This is nothing new but for some this could be the first they’ve seen or heard of it. Know someone who this applies? Feel free to share. Wish we would have known this when we purchased our first SUV while my husband was still active duty. We were paying around 12% on our vehicle loan and knew nothing of this. After finding out I contacted the creditor that held the loan and showed proof of…

The weirdest thing?

Originally posted 2020-05-28 17:21:57. Ok, so my BFF, Jess, and I were (what we call) running errands. At least that’s what we tell our husband’s 🤣 We went to Lowe’s home improvement store, twice, just two different stores. Then Home Depot. Walmart, twice (2 different stores). Food Lion, grocery store for those who aren’t familiar with them, 2 of them. Let’s not forget Sam’s Club. While in the second Walmart we went to customer service…

Didn’t know what I was getting in to

Originally posted 2017-07-17 14:53:56. NO, I REALLY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO – WORDS FROM A MILITARY SPOUSE As my military husband and I visited home for the holidays, I remember being so happy about getting this break. However, we couldn’t help but get those same questions. “When will you guys be done with the military?”   http://www.semidelicatebalance.com/2016/01/24/2620/

That was close

Originally posted 2014-10-23 15:51:42. This morning my husband went to get his motorcycle riding gloves to prepare to leave for work. I hear him ask me to come here. I get up and see what he needs. He asks me, “Is that a black widow spider?” I state first off that I thought it was. Then I proceed to get my phone to take a picture and ask a few people if what they thought…

Our lives are about to change

Originally posted 2014-06-13 22:43:09. We are at the end of one chapter of our lives. Our son graduated last year and now our daughter graduates tomorrow, June 14 2014. Every time I think about it I end up in tears, not necessarily sad tears, I think they are a mixture of emotions. From where we started to where we are now I thought things would have never been the way they are now. I have…

The truth can be hard to see

Originally posted 2014-05-27 14:15:09. Originally posted May 27 2014 Well it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I have been having an enormous amount of discomfort from whatever is going on inside of me. Today I go for an ultrasound. Thank goodness someone finally ordered something I needed. I have just been beyond ready to find out the problem. On the other hand ignorance may be bliss because if it is something…

Seizures and what you did or did not know

Originally posted 2014-04-15 22:05:01. My son had his first seizure at two weeks old. The foster parent called it ”tremors”. He was diagnosed within his first two years after extensive testing. They could not figure out what all was wrong. Between him getting so sick so often and the seizures we frequented Duke Hospital in Durham NC. He had epileptic seizures but because part of his brain didn’t develop they could not say it was epilepsy. Today…
