So "Little" Robert has decided to stay with us for a year!
We are very super excited about this.
It's going to be a great year. I'm anticipating answers, miracles and many, many blessings!
Yes, I believe that 2012 will be the year of lemonade for me!

New Year New Blog?
So I did it. I kept a blog going for an entire year. Now I'm wondering...and hoping for some feedback. Do I keep Lemons v. Lemonade going? Or should I start a different blog for 2012? I'm not real certain that I kept the whole "turning lemons into lemonade" thing going...a lot was just talking about my lemons! LOL.
I will let y'all help with the 2012 blog. Would love ideas on what the topic(s) should be, layout and etc.

Looking back
So looking back, the theme of my little blog is Lemons vs Lemonade. I have to ask myself, "Did I do the best I could with the lemons that life gave me?"
I don't know. Life gave me some pretty big lemons this year.
Sometimes you can make lemonade from them.
Sometimes you have to take them and squirt them in your enemy's eye!
Sometimes all you can do is sit back and suck on them.
I'd like to say that 2012 will be better....
I gotta get rid of some of these lemons in my basket first!

Christmastime
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Or so the song goes. Seriously though, I am excited this year. Little Robert is coming out for Christmas and it's the first we've spent with him in 13 years! So super excited.
I realized that I only blogged once in November, but at least I did at all...so I'm just touching base this month.
Very excited about what is under the tree for me and Autumn Brown Photography! 2012 is going to be FULL of pictures!
As we get closer to Christmas I may post more....remind me sometime to post my thoughts regarding family and Thanksgiving!

Family Time
Had a great time with my family today. Even if it seemed...loud (which was fabulous because it was laughter filling my home) Crowded (because I have so many loved ones in my home).
We realized after family started departing how much we need each other right now. Everyone. No one will be left out. This is family we're talking about here.
We need each other more than ever. Praying for each other. Supporting each other. Shoulders to cry on. Burdens to share. Heartaches that need healing. I truly hope that any member of my family that may read this understands truly how blessed we are and how much I love them and appreciate each and every one of them.
I'm not being nostalgic because it's thanksgiving and a time for reflection either. I want my family to know that my door is always open (my phone line is open 24/7). If you can't reach my cell phone because I don't have any minutes, call my house...anytime. I love to listen. I let people cry when needed. I love to make them laugh when necessary as well.

Denied
So today after waiting 2 1/2 months for an answer from SSA...I finally got my letter.
DENIED
In big fat bold letters. Followed by 6-7 pages explaining why.
In a nut shell?
My complaints and physicians notes were inconsistent.
Because this week I saw the doc for my knee pain but 2 weeks ago I saw her for my back pain.
Because I DIDN'T have surgery on my knees or back.
Because there were too many gaps in between visits.
Because my doctors all chose to be conservative with my treatments. Because the spine specialist told me he didn't want to do surgery on my back because it's too risky but didn't bother to put it in my notes. (I HATE it when they do that to).
She felt that the physicians were just "pacifying" me. Hmmm....I guess all those nights I cried myself to sleep were my imagination...I must be making this up.
What it doesn't say, is that I don't have any money or insurance to see the doc once a week....or that perhaps my doctor will charge me an extra $80 for discussing more than one issue. That I didn't have $120 to go see Dr Wetwer just to tell him that the shots only lasted 2 months.
I wish my attorney would've let me have one or two witnesses.
So now I have to decide if I want to appeal this (once again).
If I do, I'm pretty sure I want a different attorney to do it. Someone local who will listen to my entire case before going before the judge.
I don't know what to do.

This one's for Mariah
I was thinking of you today Mariah as I was driving through town today.
Why?
Well besides the fact that I adore you and love you a million times over it was also because I saw Mr. Saggy Baggy pants.
And I thought of the poop walk.
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
I'm sure that in those saggy baggy gangster pants he HAD to have had one of those brown slugs you were talking about that visited Max this summer!
I'm sure that is THEE only reason for Mr Gangster Saggy Baggy pants to be wearing his pants down around his thighs....because it is chalk FULL of brown slugs!
Seriously.....he was doing the POOP WALK!
Maybe Max could give him a few tips?
