October 12th.

I try not to blog on Sunday because I don't want the computer on. But it was already on because it wasn't turned off last night, and I really do want to complete the DS challenge. So for today, I will tell you about a few of the features that people with DS have, a few that all of them have, and a few that some may not have.
All of them have a thick nuchal fold. Which is the thick skin at the back of the neck. This is usually detected in the U/S. Some have a simian crease which is a singular line across the palm. all of them when they are born, are floppy, called hypotonia. They have a flat nasal bridge, and "almond" shaped eyes. And usually have a space between their big and second toe. Usually they have heart defect, pulmonary hypertension, and have and increase risk of leukemia. Although, they are more likely to beat this type of cancer, than the general population.


I am- A mom. first and for most. it is my most important title.
I want- to have no car or house payment.
I have- an amazing life
I wish- 4 of 5 did not have a snotty nose AGAIN.
I dislike- clutter. And I dislike being mad (I hate the word hate, it is such a strong word. I am trying to rid it from my vocabulary)
I fear- Someone taking my kids. Or, something happening to them.
I hear- The Wiggles
I search- for the library movie 2 of 5 brought home, and 4 of 5 lost
I wonder- What I will be doing next year
I always- Make my bed in the morning. There is something about walking into a room with an unmade bed.
I usually- start getting ready for church at 9 in the morning, because i don't do well when i am trying to hurry.
I am not- a complainer.
I dance- I don't dance
I sing- When I am happy, and when I am sad, because it's hard to be unhappy when you are singing
I never- look at my kitchen floor and think, wow, this is nice.
I rarely- Let my baby cry. I don't like that sound.
I cry- when I'm pregnant
I am not always- organized. I really try, but i have so much going on.
I lose- I don't think I do loose things often enough to say I loose one specific thing.
I'm confused- when people steal. I don't get it. We had some things taken out of our shed a while ago. I just don't get it.
I need- To start reading scriptures with the kids before school in the morning. That is my goal for the new year. I know, it's only Oct. But time goes so fast, I need to start planning way ahead of time. Otherwise, it comes and goes before I know it.
I should- go see what the kids are doing. It is really quiet. maybe I'll just close my eyes and pretend they are all playing nice together, and 4 of 5 is not into something she should be into.
I dream- Of a big huge green garden, and a dozen fruit trees to go with it.
I TAG- Call. Hamula 29 babies litnak and my TX buddy Oh, and how about Tarrant.

And for my grateful moment. I am grateful for my oldest. She is the reason I am where I am today. If she hadn't come when she did, thank you to a Heavenly Father who knew me, and what I needed, I probably would have more mistakes under my belt. After we had her, we decided we were not going to raise kids in that atmosphere, and it wasn't fair to do that to her. So, we changed, made it a goal to make sure she and future kids were raised in an eternal family, with parents that were going to do their best at raising them.
