This illness (whatever it is) has turned me into someone I don't know anymore.... I am having an extremely hard time dealing with the hearing loss and trying to adjust to life with only 1 functioning ear. Not because I can't hear out of one side but also that my left ear is working so hard to make up for the loss in the right that I can't really go too many places or be where its
noisey for too long because it over stimulates my brain or ear or whatever and it makes me crazy. I am going stir crazy because I am still on 60mg of steroids/ day and all kinds of other
meds for this thing, plus now I am afraid to go anywhere because of the n
oise levels, and even being home is hard when the kids get hyper or
noisey it REALLY stresses me out. SO in trying to remain positive and not go TOO CRAZY I have taken up baking and I thought I'd share some pictures of my "attempt" at making a Boston Cream Cake. It tastes good, BUT .... Wait 'til you see it! :)
Looks good huh????????? The whole stupid thing collapsed....... Oh well still tasted good!
Finished product, I tried to cover the collapse with sprinkles... Didn't work. Still fun though!
And here are some pics of Bryce taking a tubbie! He just so darn cute!

Hey Erika,
Hang in there, things will get better, they always do. I love the pix of Bryce, is he standing by himself in the tub??? He is soo damm cute!! If you ever need a break, an afternoon to yourself, or someone to chat with, stop by or call I'm always around. Keep you chin up girl, you are a great mom!

Hopefully the doctors are optimistic about your diagnosis and things will start to come back. It was great to see you, even from a distance, last weekend. I wish that I had a chance to talk to you. Baking will come to you. It was only the first try. I wouldn't even try a boston cream cake and I have been baking for a while. The pictures are great. I always look forward to seeing them. Keep up the good work. And remember that you have a lot of support out here. Say hi to gram for me. I miss her.

Well kiddo - some things just never change. If it were not for bad luck - you(we) would have no luck. Just remember that you are a great mom and do the best you possibly can(which is much better than some)-- you have been dealt a wild hand and are doing a terrific job. Things will get better - just hang in there. The pics of Bryce are adorable - I can't believe that he is standing already and that Faythe is in full time school; Nicole looks so grown up -- a mini you.
sorry to hear about your ear...the meds i'm sure are not making things better.
it is my opinion, tho, that chocolate can cure what ails you...so no matter what it looked like, it's choc and you made it! :)
