Good evening. Oh wait it's after midnight, so I guess it is good morning, lol. Oh well whatever it is........Hello. I am sitting up babysitting. Dan & Emma are out and will probably be home in a couple hours. Jim and Rebecca, Marissa, Daniel are sleeping. The baby Adrianna is wide awake. She woke up at 11pm. I changed her, dressed her in her jammies, fed her the cereal Emma gives her a night, and now she is in her pack n play here next to me. She'll be getting a warm bottle of formula soon. She is 15 months old now, and the pediatrician said her weight doesn't match her height. She is 20lbs 3 oz. When you hold her she still feels like an infant in your arms, but a long one, lol. So, Emma was advised to keep her on formula until 18mos maybe even until she turns 2yrs old. I went to the doctor's to pick up my slips for the tests he wants done again. He wants more views of the left breast and an ultrasound done of it also. I have to call tomorrow and make the appointments to have these tests done. January 5th I see my doctor again, and will be getting more bloodwork done. I feel like a pin cushion/guinea pig, lol. I had another of those leg jerking episodes tonight. I know now when there coming. My left arm will get a heavy feeling and do a few tiny twitches, then the leg starts bending and jerking uncontrolably for at least 30 seconds, no more then 45 seconds. I hold on and just let it pass. It only happens when I am standing.
I realize I haven't made a proper thank you to those of you who sent cards this christmas to me and my family. I promise I will do that. Problem is they are hung up over and down the doorway and I can't lift my arms without getting dizzy to read them. So, I have to wait until Emma takes them down.

I have a lil vent here I wanna make. It is about my granddaughter Marissa's paternal grandparents. Dan is not Marissa's biological father, he is her stepfather. But in his eyes and all of ours Dan is Daddy to her and always will be. The biological father lives in another state, remarried with another family. His parents live right over in New Jersey, just 5 minutes from the bridge from where we live. The grandfather has not seen, called, held, or bought Marissa a gift or sent a card since she was 2 years old. The grandmother has not seen Marissa in almost 2 years. The last time she came to visit Marissa asked her who she was. Now is that pathetic or what? This year she received no cards, no gifts from either one again for her birthday or for christmas. My granddaughter does not need to be forgotten like this. She is a beautiful happy smart little girl and deserves to have family in her life. But you know it's not just Marissa's loss, it is their loss too, and my gain cause I get to have her to myself, heehee, but I do share with Dan's mom. lol.

Ok, I guess I have written enough here. I'm gonna go in pogo for a while and play some canasta. Have a great week all and a wonderful new year.

LOVE,
