$$$$$

It seems that the disability is causing more issue than I originally thought. When it comes down to it, I have done everything I was "supposed to" in my life so far. I have 2 bachelor's degrees. I got married and had 3 daughters. I was offered a huge job in California during the DOT-COM boom. I even lasted through the DOT-COM bust. I moved back to be close to family and continued to work at the same level I was before.

Well, this all cost $$ to move the family a couple times and that added up. You would think that it would be easy if you make a decent amount of money. But, kids cost a LOT!

Anyway, the disability has caused my $$ influx to dissolve and now we are really tight and in debt just like everyone else now. It sucks.

If you happen to be a really rich individual and you have a lot of extra money just laying around, I have gone to the extreme as to add a DONATE button to the left ;)

MS Walk

I am doing the MS walk this year. I found a group to sponsor me in the fact that they will match all donations with a total up to $5000. That means that your tax deductible donation will be matched! So you donate $100, the MS society gets $200 !!!!

Anyway, to donate, go to: http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/jamie.smith

Status Quo

So, guess what... I broke something again. I had 5 (FIVE) breaks last year... working on beating it this year. The MS has a lot to do with it since my balance and my "spatial feel" is not good these days.

Anyway, it was a very minor one so no x-ray. Last year I got xrays on 2 out of 5 times. This first break of year is one of my toes on my "bionic leg" foot (left lower leg is intensely reinforced with titanium because of a major spiral fracture a couple years ago, so I call it bionic ;) ). The toe is nice and swollen and, according to my 5 year old daughter, is black, blue and purple. Hmm... I am partially colorblind, but where did the purple come from....
