CF Calendar

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am just so excited about my recent cf garage sale. It raised a

little over $200 for the printing of the cf calendar I am working on

to help raise money for the CF Foundation. I still have 4 spots

available if anyone would like to be featured in the calendar just

contact me at entnursenikki@....

Update on Madeline: She is ROTTEN with a capital R. At 18 months old

now, she is saying a lot more, but she has the NO down pat. You ask

her any question and the answer is " no " and it is not just " no " ,

it's " NOooOOooOO " in a high pitched shrill of a voice. She has

definately hit the " terrible two " stage. PLEASE tell me how long does

this normally last... How much longer are people going to let me in

front of them in lines at the grocery stores and at wal-mart. My

poor mother who watches her while I'm at work now calls 2 and 3 times

a day to update me on all of the bad things she is starting to do.

She is starting to throw temper tantrums, throw things and scream for

no reason. My husband and I try swatting her hands and her leg, very

lightly and talking to her in a stern voice, we have been taking her

videos away, making her sit in her crib, nothing seems to work right

now. As for treatments cpt has become a joke. We usually do 20-30

min. 2x's a day and now we're lucky to catch her and get a good 10-15

in while she's kicking, screaming, and crying the whole time. We

have been trying to do them at nap times and after bed time when she

has already fallen asleep, but feel like we are not helping her to

learn that she must have her treatments. We don't want her to feel

like she has won the battle, but then again, we want her to get a

good treatment!! If anyone has any advice it would be greatly

appreciated. Don't get me wrong, she is still my little princess,

angel, Madeline Jayne; it's just been very trying on the nerves

lately!!!!

The calendar is going well, other than I still need a few people to

volunteer to be in it, if I don't fill all the slots within the next

week or two the cff said they would have no problem getting a few

people to be in it for me. I have decided on a local printer who I

can work very closely with and I have a meeting with a graphic

designer. I haven't had too much support from the community, but

have had tremendous support with family and close friends. I will be

having another cf garage sale in the near future to try and raise

more money for printing, I am only $500 away from my goal now!!! I

can't believe I decided to do this the first week in August and

everything is really happening!! The only downfall is we will only

have 2 months to sell the calendar before the new year.

I think I have rambled enough, thanks for listening and please

contact me if you are interested in the calendar at all.

Thanks,

-Mom to Madeline 1.5 (starting terrible 2's)
