This is probably one of the worst winters (as far as cold and snow) that I can remember. The night before last we felt sorry for the cat since the low was 5 so we left the garage door cracked open. He also has a blanket and a heat lamp out there. Well, I guess by "cracking" the garage door it got cold enough in there to freeze our hot water heater pipe that sticks out of the wall. My husband didn't unfreeze anything before he left so my Dad came to the rescue yesterday and took care of it. I mean, after all... a girl HAS to take a shower at some point in the day!
I'm just glad we had heat and power. I don't think I could of made it without those as well.
We are expected to get more snow tonight and our low is 5. Our wind chill for tonight is -25 or something ridiculous like that. We live in ARKANSAS! Good gravy!
I was really needing a few days off work since I worked 5 nights straight. Don't get me wrong it was GOOD money, but a lot of work and I was worn OUT!
Tonight I'm making my Grandmother's soup for my family. It's called Nifla soup and it's basically potato soup with dumplings. I seriously can eat about 3 or 4 bowls of it. I love it that much. It's easy to make and it sure does sound good with this cold weather we are suppose to have!
I think at some point in the next couple of weeks I'm going to start repainting our entire house on the inside. It REALLY needs it. Our builder used flat paint and we all know that it doesn't wash little fingerprints easily. I am changing the color of our bedroom and bathroom. I will post pics of the final product on here. I got new bedding recently and am getting ready to get some curtains to put in there. After all, we've lived in this house for almost 4 years so it's just time to do some slight updating and replace some things. And, we have 5 big windows in our room and I want something to shut some light out!
After I finish our bedroom and bathroom I'm going to work on hallways and the 1/2 bath. Then, the living room will probably be the last room. Only because I want it to be a different color I just don't know what I want to do yet. I want a little color, but don't want to go overboard... plus, I want to put curtains in there as well. So, it's gonna all have to go together.
I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week!
Hugs - Tiffany

Omphalocele and PPH/RVH
This page is for Baylee and Blair. Blair was born with a Giant Omphalocele on April 7th, 2008. She spent 7 weeks in the NICU at AR Children's. Amazed by the Dr's she came home at the end of May only on a little bit of O2 and no other medications. She was also diagnosed with a 3mm VSD of her heart. That has since CLOSED COMPLETELY and will not require surgery. Recently we found out that she was born with her heart on the right side of her chest. She had surgery on Aug. 20th without expanders. The Dr's were able to do a closure surgery with a bit of alloderm pulling the muscles together. We will be in St. Louis for a few weeks while she recovers.
Baylee is an energetic 4 year old. She loves swimming, her babydolls, playing outside and most of all her little Sissy! She is our little princess and we have been amazed at how well she has reacted to her little Sissy. She is WONDERFUL to her little sissy and loves her so much!
She was diagnosed on April 13th with a Right Ventricular Hypertrophy due to Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. In July we traveled to Boston to see a Hypertension Specialist. I LOVE this Dr! She is wonderful and answered all of my questions. She will have another Heart Cath on Dec. 1st to check the pressures in her heart again. She is now sleeping with a bit of oxygen just as a precautionary.
I hope that everyone enjoy's reading about our lives and if you learn something in the process that's even better!

Ugh! Flat paint. We finally painted over the last of it here a few months ago. I usually go with an egg shell or satin finish. Much easier to clean! :-)
You are a busy girl, that's for sure!
For as cold as it is there we're having -25 actual temps here. It's really NOT normal for weeks at a time to have that cold of temperatures. Highs are below zero and that's just wrong!
