The Three proudest moments of my life were after the birth of my first son, second son and finally believing in Christ.

I would be happy that I was a mom of two such cute kids. Well, if I saw the pictures of when William WAS a kid... I would be disappointed that I haven't written a book or turned into a violinist. (I had hopes of playing back then...)

I will be honest.. I only came back here because YouTube links with Livejournal... I did NOT expect ANY of my old journaling to be here still. I am pleased to see that I might be able to retrieve some of my journaling from way back..

In the meantime while I do some site maintenance and re-familiarize myself with livejournal...
Anyone that comes across my journal is encouraged to visit my textamerica or myspace pages
dianimall.textamerica.com or myspace.com/dianimall.

Ew.. it only had like 5 blogs.. how sad.. that's nuffin. Talk about a bummer.
Later ya'll

My kitchen is clean! My dining area is clean! My living room is clean!! William's bathroom is mostly clean! And I have a Control Journal!
I am feeling soooo IN CONTROL!
Bring it on baby! I'm rarin to go!

John is on his way to the hospital.. His dad Jack is taking him and I can't sleep. (not that I'm trying hard) He woke me up around 3:30 saying he was itching and had hives like a previous episode so I tracked down some benedryll pills and spray and tried to get the swelling down, but after approximately a half hour and it not getting better, I gave up and told him either I or his father would take him to the hospital. We need to find out what to do in case this happens fast. I don't know how much is too much or not enough of the benedryll.. I thought to call 911, but they couldn't help because they are not trained in first aid so they can't give out suggestions. Which is kind of stupid but I guess they have their limitations. I told them we didn't want an ambulance at that time because we still had adults capable of getting him to a hospital.
Ok, I'm going to try to go lie down. Wish me luck.

I am soooo friggen FRUSTRATED!!!!

I'm afraid it's THAT TIME.
Man, I am so mad. I was so liking that I didn't have to deal with that issue when I was nursing...

My sink is clean!
But I need to get a daily routine.
I keep having to figure out what to do last minute instead of planning ahead each day.
Ok, off to work on my plan!
Bye

I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to SUBMIT a freakin entry into this darn thing. Update? Why not 'New Entry' or 'Add New' or 'Write' for heaven's sake?
Oh well, I hope this thing works ok, I got so tired of freeopendiary's pop ups and AOL's journal is nice that I can IM it messages, but it doesn't always work...
