And We Survived

By
Wow, I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post. So sorry to those who follow me, and have been curious as to my whereabouts :)

I've been super busy with my freelance work. Between that and Lil Man starting pre-school, there hasn't been much free time to post. Actually there hasn't been a lot of free time lately for much of anything.

But I'm hoping that we going to find our 'groove' soon with pre-school and family schedules.

I was very emotional on his first day of pre-school. I think he shed a few tears, but honestly I think I shed the majority of them. After leaving him in his room, I made a quick exit to the restroom to bawl my eyes out and compose myself before walking out of the building. I clung to my phone like a life source in case they called me. But with each 15 minute increments that passed, I felt myself starting to relax. Before the 2.5 hours was over, I realized that the time really went by quick.

We are on our 2nd full week of school now and so far so good. He seems to be picking up the routine quickly. He also seems like he enjoys it. And I am finding lots of uses for my time during preschool. I'm also finding that 2.5 hours isn't a lot of time to get everything on my 'to do' list accomplished. But I'm really glad that Hubby and I made the decision to start pre-school at 2. I think it's been great for everyone.


He is truly growing up too fast!

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...

It's Been a Hot Minute

By
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...
