Never A Dull Moment

By

Well, Lil Man was up early as usual today. Hubby was finishing up shaving in the bathroom,  and I told him he was on Lil Man duty while I went to get them breakfast. I had barely closed the bedroom door, took about 3 steps when I heard the crash. I ran back into the room as my husband ran to him also. Lil Man pulled over a 40+ yr old lamp. The globe broke. THANKFULLY, he wasn't hurt and Hubby got to him fast enough to keep him from walking on any pieces of sharp glass.
As Hubby cleaned the pieces of his antique lamp, I took Lil Man in the kitchen to get breakfast. A piece and half of toast, banana and cheerios later, breakfast was finally over. Apparently Lil Man wanted more to eat because he got the plastic container of animal crackers out of the cabinet. As he was walking across the floor, he did a face plant full force into the kitchen tile. Seriously? It's not even 8:00am yet.  No major damage other than a bruise on the head.. whew....
But now we are refusing an afternoon nap. The morning nap was short soooooo I assumed there wouldn't be any difficulty with getting him to go down for an afternoon nap. Boy was I wrong! I'm about to give up and just realize a nap this afternoon isn't happening.

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

By
May 26, 2021 3:40pm  Finally, the phone call that I'd been waiting on. It was the Medical Center. ( Finally, we can schedule my surgery. ) She tells me who she is, and then tells me that she has a cancellation for tomorrow. ( Me stammering... )  "Ok, but I was thinking the end of June."   Then I hear "We just had a moment to look at your file. We really don't think that you should wait. We really think you should come in tomorrow at 8:15am" ( Me stammering again ) "Ok, I'll be there."  Wait, what? My mind is all over the place. I'm supposed to work. How am I going to get our son to school? Will my husband be able to go with me on such short notice. I expected this to be the end of June, not tomorrow. I'm not prepared! I was overcome with emotion.  May 26, 2021 Surgery Day I woke up at 1am with a horrible headache. By the time we arrived at the surgery center, I was definitely a bundle of nerves. I got checked in, went through the usual ...

Feel All the Feels Then Deal

By
Not what I expected when the phone rang. It was a routine dermatology appointment.  "Do you have any concerns?" “Yes, a small spot on my face. It comes and goes. Two weeks ago it had disappeared (again). So I'm actually glad that it’s back.”  It was the size of a pin head. It was teeny tiny. A nuisance, but not something that really seemed to bother me. “I suspect that it’s skin cancer.”  “So, we just burn if off, right?” “No, it needs to be cut out and sent to the lab.” I was not prepared for this. It’s on my lip! She’s going to cut a hole in my lip! She warns me that the shot is going to hurt and possibly a lot. She tells me this several times. (I’m thinking surely it can’t be that bad.)  I was wrong.  It hurt.  A lot.  I’m creeped out at the thoughts of her taking a chunk off of my face at the top of my lip. I’m even more creeped out as she tells me she’s going to burn it to stop the bleeding. Time and time again I hear the sizzle and the smell is n...

Window Bird Feeder By Yellow Beaks

By
Lil Man has been beside himself since the Clear Window Bird Feeder by Yellow Beaks arrived in the mail. He couldn't wait to get it up and outside. He's very anxious for the birds to come. I wasn't sure how the suction cups would hold up. I've never, in the past, had much luck with any type of suction cup. But so far it's been a week with varying temperature changes, and the suction cups are holding strong. The construction seems sturdy, and it looks to be well-made. It also will be easy to clean out. I know with bird feeders they can get a little yucky sometimes, but this will be easy to remove, spray out and clean up.  So far the birds haven't visited us yet. Our neighbor has several bird feeders and he is keeping all of the birds over there (ha). But Lil Man is checking daily, sometimes multiple times a day, for a bird. So I can't report how the birds like the feeder, but I have to say that we honestly do.  You can find the Wind...
