You Are Cinderella!

1. I took Izzy to school/therapy yesterday.  She was very vocal.  The O.T. commented about how vocal she was getting.
2. While Izzy was in therapy I ran to the local nail place and had this done:
3. I realize my feet are not very pretty… but it’s always fun when the nail person is feeling creative.
4. I left my watch at Julie’s.  I was going to look for it this morning.  I got a text that said, “don’t come this morning.”  Apparently one of the kids is sick today and she knows I’m a germ phobe and she is wiped out from a night without sleep.  Get well soon N!
5. I went to a new little boutique (well new to me…) in our area yesterday and got some cute stuff.  I got Izzy this cute bracelet and some other fun little like a cute bracelet for me that Amanda is trying to claim!
6. I should be working on a to-do list rather than a thirteen thursday list.  Sad but true.
7. Emelia was supposed to stay the night with her friend Teresa last night, but texted me at 10:30 saying, “wanna come home.”  So I went and picked her up.  She did the same thing last time she went there which is unusual for her so I think overnight plans at Teresa’s house are going to be put on hold for several months.
8. Izzy’s getting mostly clothes for her birthday.  Matt’s mom, aunt, and sista usually send gym gift cert. I add it with gymbucks and buy a bunch of clothes for school.  Her box should be arriving tomorrow.
9. Izzy will turn six Saturday.
10. Amanda will turn eighteen years old Monday.
11. I can’t be that old.
12. I guess I am.
13. I turn “?” on Aug. 9.

Have you researched stem cell research? I really haven’t much. I do know some people who have gone to other countries to try stem cells for their children who have had near drownings. I think we have a long way to go in this process. Here’s some information on the subject. Visit C’elle for more information.

While facing the difficult economy and the challenges of managing through tough times, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind –especially when a woman is in the prime of her life.

But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may potentially be found within her own body — in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.

Now, thanks to revolutionary stem cell research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, a woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.

C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way. Now for a special limited-time “Caring is Sharing” promotion, a woman can purchase C’elle for herself and give a meaningful gift of life to her best friend, sister or loved one for free.
