How Our Summer is Going

I haven't been on the computer much since school has been out, Griffin spends time on it mostly, I am on the Android sending out e-mail and on Facebook when I do something while on the couch resting my foot and knee. I just found out that I have a torn meniscus in my left knee that I do not know how I injured unless it was when I was in the wheelchair. Anyhow, I have been hobbling around like a little old lady in a lot of pain and trying to do as much as I can with Griffin but at the same time I have to take it easy on my foot too still. I went to see my foot doc and he told me that it was still too early to not take into consideration the fact that I had major surgery on it only 3 months ago and that it was normal to still be on pain meds.

Griffin is not so violent with his meltdowns but they are still frequent even though I am giving him fair warning of what we are doing ahead of time and we are in a routine. We do things the same every day except for appointment days but those are not necessarily the days he has the meltdowns.

I am tired. I will write more another night that I stay up late and have access to the computer again LOL! I do miss reading my dear friend's blogs but it really is uncomfortable to sit here because it makes my foot throb.

I hope that my Aunt Patty and the whole family gets to move here, I would love so much for them to get to meet Griffin and I would love so much to hug her again! I love you Aunt Patty!

About Me

My Photo
I am the mother to the most amazing child whose name is Griffin Blaise and he was born Jan. 31,2002. He is named after the mythological creature,the griffin which was half eagle and half lion. Griffins were in Greek mythology considered to be a symbol of integrity and protection,and are said to protect hidden treasures. His middle name, Blaise, is an ancient Celtic name for fire. Griffin is half Samoan but his dad has been absent since he was born. We live in North Carolina presently but I lived in Alaska for 18 years, that's where Griffin was born. I am a former exotic dancer, I worked for the FBI undercover, I have been a ballroom dance instructor, and have worked on a commercial salmon fishing vessel. I hope that you find this blog delightful, informative, humorous, and perhaps at times a tear jerker. Share in our joy and pain as you read the chronicles of the life and times of Griffin Blaise and Lora.
