Farm Show

It's that time of year again.. the Farm Show. I took Lil Man today to meet Daddy and walk around for a bit. He enjoyed it. He LOVED the milkshake. I think he preferred chocolate over half and half.

Then we took a stroll to see the animals. I don't think he had a 'favorite' animal but seemed to enjoy them all. We saw cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits and ducks. It was insanely crowded as always. But we were able to get him close enough to most things to take a peek.

It's so much fun to watch him experience things. I can't help but wonder what's going through his little brain trying to process it all.

He is such an awesome little kid. I thought he would fall asleep on the way home, but thankfully he stayed awake (with the help of Sesame Street on DVD).

He's napping now and I'm taking just a few minutes for myself. It's been exhausting lately with temper tantrums, pushing boundaries, and just being a general toddler. Today (before the Farm Show) it was pushing a chair (that he's not allowed to push) on the kitchen floor. My kitchen floor now has blue paint all over it (sigh). Hubby made a stupid man remark by saying 'well, I'm sure the steamer will get it off'. Umm.. not the point. Wasn't planning on using the steamer today, or even mopping. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that Lil Man threw as in T H R E W the chair when I told him he couldn't push it. All of this before 8:30am. I just wanted to drink my green tea.. not have to duck and cover and then reprimand for temper tantrum chair throwing. But we dealt with it.

Seven hours later I finally finished my morning cup of green tea.

The floor is still blue.

I'll tackle that after dinner.

It's called job security right?

2 Weeks Post Mohs Surgery

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

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...

It's Been a Hot Minute

It's been a hot minute since I've written anything.... over a year. Between being a mom, full time student, and a substitute teacher during a pandemic, writing hasn't been a priority. More than once,  I've felt like I was in survival mode with classes. I didn't expect early block  to be so intense.  I admit that I broke down and cried several times this semester with feeling overwhelmed. But, I endured until the end, and I got straight A's for the semester. I'm proud of myself that I didn't give up. I am enrolled in 2 summer class, and 4 fall classes and studying for standardized tests that I must pass before I can begin my student internship.  I will be close to 50 when I graduate. Am I too old to do this? Who starts a career at 50????? I guess I do. I don't know what's going to happen when I graduate. I do know that I am enjoying the course work, and I'm enjoying being able to put what I have learned into practice as a substitute.  This sch...
