new decor

i love my home nicely decorated...but i got a little "forced" decor this last week.
it's dog ugly...u-g-l-y!!!

the only thing worse than the uber ugliness of the machine itself, is how NOT HOT i look in this dumb mask.

yes, i snore.
fine. i quit breathing for 5 or more seconds over 33 times an hour.
sure, i could have stroke.

but seriously? you don't have anything a little more...girlie? or a little less darth vader-esque...or scuba steve-ish?!

and to boot, apparently, i have a dumb allergic reaction to the latex on the mask...so now, there's nasty puss filled hives all over my nose and cheeks.

that just makes it so much sweeter...and heaven knows, i'm a super scuba steve impersonator. what do you think?
i'm thinking of lace and finding a bedazzler...maybe that will help? any ideas?

I know you're not loving this but you're hysterical! Your eyes peeking out from the mask say it all!

And this is timely, I just happened to catch a scene from Malcolm in the Middle where the parents are forced to go into their fumigated house with masks on just so they could have alone time, away from their kids in the trailer. The music was gently playing and they looked at eachother through their masks with those come hither eyes. Ok sorry....... (I do hope your condition improves and you won't always have to wear it)

Wow that is purty! I hope that it is helping and that you are feeling rested because of your new scuba steve mask. :) On the bright side you only have to wear it at bed time:) Right? LOL

LOL..Bu-Mer! My MIL has to wear one of those also. Before, I never heard of this "none breathing while sleeping" issue but now that I've heard of it, I'm hearing more and more people suffer from it.
I agree though, they need to make it girlier looking!! lol

Oh my! Do they have any other options other than latex?? Maybe, in all your craftiness, you could cover the blue band that goes around your head in a super cute fabric... just think of how you can accessorize!

Holy cow, do you have to sleep with that mask on? That is kind of crazy, but I guess if it keeps you breathing it is worth it. :)

I think it does need some bling though.

I laughed at your comment about the seagulls knees looking like frogs faces. It does!!!!

I'm not laughing AT you, totally laughing WITH you. well, maybe a little at you! I can sympathize for you, though, My sweet little son had such severe apnea he stopped breathing 25 times an hour, and poor little guy was only one. I didn't sleep until he was healed! Thank goodness he was able to have surgery. If I had to see him like that every night, he would probably get a complex over me laughing at him!
Here from SITS btw

Oh man you are having some fun times. But I gotta think that breathing and living is worth the lovely looking mask.

You are officially my hero! I can not believe you had the courage to post that photo in blogland! That is simply amazing. I know it is not the sexiest thing, or even comfortable for that matter! However, I PROMISE you, you will feel SO much better after wearing it a few nights that you won't care how it looks! My husband used to wear one before he lost a bunch of weight and it TOTALLY changed his life, for the better. I truly believe it SAVED his life. So, hang in there. And know that you are a brave, brave soul and we are extremely proud of you!

I'm stopping by from SITS! I just wanted to share a bit of comment love.♥ I'm really glad I did!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
