My Mommy

i thought i'd write a little about my Mommy while she was off at some party for tiny kids. or tiny terrors, in my opinion. ever since i've been living here, Mommy has never worked. she used to work, she taught the tiny terrors at a place called Headstart. i guess she really loved it. but it made her too sick one year, and so her doctor made her quit. in fact, i heard her say yesterday that it was her 8th year anniversary of having to quit. she was pretty sad about it for a long time. but i also heard her yesterday say that she thinks quitting saved her life. i'm glad she had to quit. or else, she might not have been my Mommy. and i think she's alright.

Mommy has something called pulmonary hypertension. she discusses it on her blog. it's a lung disease, where the pulmonary artery is very constricted and she has a hard time breathing. she's sob alot, short of breath. she has this nice shade of purple when she really overdoes it. sometimes i've seen her sit on her bed for a bit to catch her breath, and i have to hang around her to make sure she's ok. but i guess she's been doing alot better since she's been on medicines. oh, and she's also on oxygen.

ever since i've been at the house, Mommy has this long tubing coming out from her nose and running throughout the house. let me tell you, that stuff is tasty!! i really loved snacking on it when i was little. boy, that used to piss Mommy off! she'd realize i was eating the tubing (not sure how though), and she'd come over to where i was all in a huff, and she'd smack the floor near me and yell "NO." i tell ya, it was rather scary! she did it so often, that i eventually just realized maybe this tubing as a snack was just not worth it. i really haven't snacked on it in a long time. but there are times when my tummy really wants it, and i just can't resist. of course, Mommy smacks the floor and yells. i can't win!

well i will go nap before Mommy gets home. i hope she's having fun. i'm just going to enjoy her computer chair while she's gone!
