Help!

This song has been stuck in my head and before reading any further please listen to it



I have been so down lately and i do appreciate all the people who have stood by and helped me along the way. I never used to need anybody's help (pre-Dominic) or at least i thought that i didn't need anybody's help. Now that money is always tight and i'm always stressed and worried I need help from so many people and amazingly people keep helping me. My sister Katie is the best at pushing me through the door when i want to be recluse and cry all my troubles away and my sister Joanna is the best listener when i begin to share my "verbal vomit" and my parents are AWESOME sounding boards when I'm making important decisions about my living situation, disciplining Dominic, school, and relationships. They have also sacrificed their time on a regular basis to babysit Dominic so that I can continue my education. My brother Nolan may vex me at times, but he loves Dominic so much and also helps babysit on a regular basis.
I cannot even begin to describe the extended family i have found at Mission church and even though i've been hiding from them i know they're still praying for me. My extended family goes beyond that to so many people that I have known for years and years and even through all of my ups and downs are still here cheering and praying for me. You know who you are!!! (Chelsea Z., Joanna Stoops, Sarah Klacik... though i think that's your maiden name now!! CRAZY! and many, many more)

This blog is a quick thank you to everyone of you who has not given up on me, who has stood by my side through thick and thin, supported me with your love, time, finances, prayers and friendship. I am so glad that when I start singing, "HELP!" I have a family and extended family that comes running to my side.
Love you all so very much, oh and Dominic says hello. He has a little cold but otherwise is doing wonderfully and saying so many new words! Take care and know that if you ever need me I'm just a song away.

recognizing the obvious

I'm a single mom. I don't really like identifying myself as this but now that it's been almost two years i think i'm finally able to realize that there is no knight in shining armor and i may be doing this alone for awhile.

Dominic turns 2 on Friday, i had told everyone that as soon as he turned 2 i would start potty training. I got the pull ups, have been browsing training toilets asking him to tell me when i poops (he can sign and say "poop"!) and teaching him to pull his pants up and take them off. If i have had this set in my mind to do then why am i so unsure now that Friday is only three days away??

My brother Nolan agreed to help teach Dominic how to pee but I don't think that'll come til Dominic can sit on the potty and go at the appropriate time. I don't know the first thing about starting this or how to get him to actually PEE on a little toilet.

Chemistry starts in 20 minutes so I better hurry and finish getting ready... love you all!
