Well, as usual I am a couple of days late and several dollars short, but I would not be me otherwise.Happy New Year to you and yours and I hope that everyone out there has a super fantabulous year...and that you are all healthy, wealthy and wise!
2010 ended on a very sour note for me and my girls. I took a trip to the ER on the weekend before Christmas. I am assuming it was a panic attack because no doctor out there can figure out what is wrong with me. Sad, but true. I am fine now but will seeking some sort of answer for that soon.
The Monday following Christmas, my girls and I went shopping in the mall a good 45 minutes from our home. My 13 year old, Chelsea, passed out while we were there. Let me tell you, in all of my 40 years, in all that I have seen and done and experienced, there was not one thing ever that scared me as much as seeing my baby lying on the floor.
I was totally helpless. Scared beyond belief and all I could do was beg someone to help me. Thankfully, a woman who was in the medical profession stopped to assist and I swear she was an angel sent from above. She calmed me down, she stayed with Chelsea and held her head until the paramedics arrived and assured me that my daughter would be ok. And she is.
From what the doctors (the ER and her own personal) can gather, it was because she had not eaten breakfast (which I can never stress enough to her, is very important) and she had her very first monthly visitor arrive days before. That, combined with her lack of food, made her dizzy and black out.
So for now, we are still a little leery about our health issues, but I have resolved that we will all be healthier and will be eating better and living better all around.
Another thing I would love to be able to do is to make more time for blogging. It seems as though my reading and occasional commenting has never let up, just my posting has been very sporadic. Hopefully that will change this year.
I would also like to take more pictures this year. I do find that I take plenty of pictures, but not nearly what I would love to be doing.
Again, I would like to wish each and everyone a great new year. May 2011 be all that you intend for it to be and more!
XOXO

Ack - those are scary things. Hopefully this is just a way to make 2011 look super great!
Hope to see you more!!
Wow! So glad both you and your daughter are Ok! I know that feeling of seeing your child laying there and feeling like you are helpless!
Hey, speaking of taking photos....there were a couple of groups on flickr I've been considering joining to get myself shooting more this year. Care to join me? email me!
That IS scary. My older daughter passed out in Spanish class when she was in high school and yes, it is EXTREMELY frightening!!
