The last bit of August
I lost our camera charger. I realized I lost It about 5 minutes before we left on our vacation to Priest Lake. Hence no pictures of our beautiful vacation. (unless you check facebook we uploaded some with M.G's phone during the trip).
Owen is a big fan of "swimming" which includes people holding him in the water but not in the water for more than a few seconds, throwing golf balls and "peedohs" (torpedoes) into the water for others to fetch. At one point I actually knew what it was like to be a dog and like it... the smile on his face when I would bring back one of the balls was so rewarding. And riding on buoys
(floating air mattresses and the like).
Apparently there has been a monster (a chocolate one no less) living in his hair and that is why he doesn't want me to trim it. I'm not sure if they are friends or if he just fears retribution. He did not elaborate.
Diet coke is my cocaine I can NOT have just one it NEVER ends there. ( I am having withdrawals right now and am staring at water bottle with disgust)
Listening to music in the car on a 9 hour road trip becomes less relaxing when your husband decides to start a new "rating system" and you only end up hearing 30 seconds of each song and then quibbling over where it belongs in said "system". We only made it to letter m before the i-phone ran out of battery. Not sure we would of lasted much longer anyway.
Owen likes to sing Jesus loves me "hi no" for "biyal" tells "ya ya ya ya" ( which is how he sings La la la).
Owen no longer only asks why about everything he sees. Now he asks what it is, what it does, and why does it do that? Super fun ( most of the time).
He doesn't call his blankies his "dits" anymore they are just his blankies now. ( sometimes I still call them his dits)
If anyone yawns Owen asks if they are "real tiyed".
If I cry he asks if I am having a hard time.... then says you all right mommy? and puts his face right in mine and blinks his bright blues eyes and inspects me until I smile. which I always do quite quickly because he is so sweet and wonderful. ( and stinken cute!!)
Life is back to the slow and steady grind. Michael working and Owen and me getting ourselves back into some sort of a routine. I am really excited for Fall. I think the season change will do me good.

Not so many blog posts
Sorry for the lack of posting in the past month or so. I have been going through the ringer personally and it seems like even though we haven't been anywhere or done anything ( save one overnight camping trip in which we forgot the camera) I have been overwhelmingly busy.
Overwhelmed pretty much sums it all up really. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar 2 illness ( which I will wright about in detail at a later more stable time), I have always had migraine headaches but this summer they have been more frequent and intense than ever, my thyroid disease ( hashimoto's auto immune) is out of control despite my constant efforts to rein it in with nutrition and natural supplementation, and to top it all off for the last week and a half I have had the heat rash to end all heat rashes all over my body ( though mostly concentrated on my arms). I was told it's probably a "photosynthesis thing" by my care provider meaning that "long times spent out in the sun may effect me this way" aka your summer is over lady unless you like steroid creams shots of cortizon in the bum and constant antihistamine use.
SIGH...... So that has pretty much been our summer. Michael has been amazing he has been pulling his weight around the house and mine. Doing even the most remedial household tasks has seemed like climbing a mountain some days. Owen must scene that I am in a fragile state because he has been more gentle and compliant than I would expect a 2.5 year old trapped in a house in the summer would be. I must take time to thank my in laws especially, as they have really gone above and beyond the call of duty by taking Owen over night several times to give me much appreciated breaks. Owen loves spending time with his grandparents, aunt and uncles and it is great to be able to take him there and know he will get tons of love and adoration from all.
I am really trying to see the good in these trials. I know there is some because there always is. But right now I feel defeated, frustrated, lost inside myself and alone in a healing process few can understand. Your prayers for our family are more than appreciated. I will be posting more often as I find the time and motivation to do so. And in due time will write more about my experience with bi-polar2 illness.
Thank You for your thoughts and prayers
