Tests

So, my test results must have come in late today, and I wasn't here for the phone call. By the time I got home, the dr. was gone. Now I sit until tomorrow morning.

Then you start thinking, well the dr. called and not the nurse. Is that good or bad? He said nothing of any kind - not everything's okay. Maybe that's just protcol? I am guessing I won't sleep well until I hear if things are okay or not.

I was hoping they would find something so I wouldn't feel horrible each and everyday. Maybe my wish came true? I can only hope it is something simple!

More news to come I guess ...

ZumBAH! I know ... Zumba!

So we joined the Y last weekend in hopes of me getting into some kind of exercise program AND to save us money on the kid's swimming lessons. Swimtastic adds up!

Kari Jo and I went to Zumba class tonight and wow was it hard! My thighs and knees are aching. I know it will get better with time, and it sure didn't feel like exercise (until the aching started!). I meet with a "Coach" on Monday to get started. Kari Jo is going on Friday so next week we should be ready to go! It's kinda fun being able to do it with people you know. Kristen was there ... and she is always a hoot! It's a crazy week so I probably won't be able to go again, but I am going back next week.

Tomorrow I am having some more tests done for these stomach problems. I hope they find whatever the problem is so we can fix it. It is crummy feeling sick every time you eat! I wanna make that weight loss goal (.2 away!) but I do like food too!

So, crazy week but should all be fun too!

Daddy was the classroom helper!

Today Nick was able to help in Reagan's 4K room. He did Picture Day, tree rubbings, snack and library. Sounds like a fun filled day. I am thankful I get to be at the school my kids attend, but it makes me sad that I can't help in the classrooms.

Today Reagan was on his way home with Nick and he was telling him how much he likes his teacher Mrs. Shanks. He said, "She's really special dad!" She is one in a million to him.

Tomorrow is the kick off to our Fundraiser! Teachers as rock stars! I bet you can't wait.

Sweet dreams ...

Can't Sleep ...

Not sure what exactly I am thinking about or worried about ... but it is way too early to be up.

I surfed the net for our Halloween costume idea. We know what we are going to be, I just have to figure out how to put it together.

Sweet dreams ... I hope!

Skin check

Today was my follow up with the dermatologist. It has been two years since they found my basal cell skin cancer. It was hard to believe it had been that long. He checked the scar and again commented by saying, "I didn't remove that one did I!" Almost to say, "it wouldn't have been that big." Thank goodness my swimsuit modeling days are over I guess.

Since then I have had 3 moles removed and had a clear check today! I have to go 5 years with no reappearance of the basal cell and then I can go to yearly visits.

That's the kind of news I needed to hear!

Bad Days ...

I have been having too many of them lately. I am struggling a bit and could really use some extra prayers. Please think of me in your daily thoughts and give me strength for each day! I am looking for a little sunshine my way!

Long weekend over!

Sad to say, but that long weekend came to an end.

We had a great time doing some fun stuff. Friday night we headed to the Milwaukee Ale House for dinner. Reagan loves their spaghetti. Saturday I went to the Farmer's Market and loaded up on vegetables and fruit. Then we headed to a baseball game with friends. Sunday we went to church to see our new pastor installed, visited the zoo, went to Toys R Us for their toy (Nick bought it because they had a good first week in school), and to the grocery store. Today I spent making soup, chili, salsa and we had a little visit with Nick's parents, who came to see the kids. All in all, a good weekend. Little busy, but some great weather for WI.

This week brings a busy week starting with Nick's birthday tomorrow (or as he calls it, his birth month)! We are off to the Brewer game with his parents to celebrate. Will is going to miss his first swimming lesson and he is bummed.

Here's hoping for a quick week!

Reagan's First Day of 4K!

Today was Reagan's first day of school. Not sure how it went yet, but we will fill you all in! Last night he told Nick and me that his teacher didn't like naughty behavior. We agreed with him. He said to Nick, "Well if I am naughty it is just an accident." Already making those excuses.

He got off the bus at school at about 12:40 and I was waiting with my camera.

Sure hope he is having fun! (Me wiping my tears!)

Reagan and his teacher Mrs. Shanks!

Will's First Day of 1st Grade!

Tuesday marked Will's first day of school. He told us he read a book about a mouse and a cookie, and his teacher gave him a cookie. He played with his friend Morgan at recess. He had art and made a picture with shapes. His homework assignment was to count to 100. He did so by tens. I wasn't sure if that was right, but his teacher said he could do it that way! New teacher, new friends, new schedule, new work and a new teacher's assistant! Lots of new things for Will which means change. Seems like he adapted just fine at least for today.

Will and his teacher Mrs. Beyer!
