What a long week it was...

between the Rummage Sale, doctors appointments for me and car stuff, my head was spinning like the chucky doll head does. Moms within our group and from other organizations contacted me to donate items for the rummage sale. It was such a blessing! As of today, Livermore Moms has raised $2,937 for their team with the American Cancer Society Relay of Life for Livermore. Everyone on our team has raised at least $100. Totally awesome and on our way for a Trail Blazer award.

On the day of the sale, Clark and I looked like hillbillies driving to the Holy Cross in the SUV and 4x4 piled high up in the sky. Clark was the man that day. Clark stayed to set up, he stayed throughout and then helped us to break down and donate stuff to a local organization. Here is a picture of some of us members of the Livermore Moms team. It is truly one of the best teams I have been on.



Prior the Rummage Sale, I went to the doctor for a follow up with an on going issue I have been having. With Kaiser, I had been with the same doctor for years, in fact Clark goes to the same GP as me. Then I realized this week the time I had to drive to see the doctor, the wait time in the office and then home again was sometimes up to 3 hours.

Finally this week I changed to a local GP at Kasier. The new doctor did not agree with my old doctor on the health issue I have been having and actually showed me books and test results on his reasons why. It is kind of strange if what the new doctor says turns out to be true then my best friend and I will have another thing in common. The next few weeks will determine the results. In the meantime my food intake has had to change dramatically with the long laundry list of items he does not want me to eat.

Then the car, more specifically, the Mazda CX9 we have. I took it in for a simple oil change and lo and behold my tires were bald. I went to a local tire store that was recommended. Apparently our tire is unusual due to its size and they could not get it until sometime next week.

I knew then I had to laugh because the Mazda was the one of the cars being used for transport "stuff" to the Rummage Sale. I knew my team mates would help if I called but after a series of calls, the tire company was able to get the tires. In fact they put the new tires on the day before the Rummage Sale (just in the nick of time!). The tire company also called and let us know Emma had left her "T" (her lovie the lobster) behind and they would hold it for us. The service was incredible. I would definitely recommend Americas Tire in Livermore and will go back!

Some random pictures of Emma taken this week. Emma loves being a princess, having tea parties and just being lovable Emma.
