Taking the Blog Down

The anger that builds in my head when I see that name just isn't worth having a place to vent and to share pictures of my kids with family who live far away. You win. I'll take it down tomorrow. This will give you plenty more time to insult me and a chance for anyone else to read my blog who hasn't yet today. Good job. Proved my point from the last entry exactly. Another insensitive asshole out there in the world manipulating the good people. How proud you must be.

I hate people!

I would guess I use this phrase at least once a day. Probably more. I really do. I 'm so sick of all these self-important, self-involved people who see others as nothing more than mere obstacles in the way of their life. You know who I mean. People who don't slow down and nearly run you off the road in their vehicles. People who cut in front of you, forcing you to stop short while walking. (Yesterday the same family made us stop TWICE while walking in Mystic. Once when they cut in front of Chris and once when they cut in front of me. They actually had to weave in between a family of 4, pushing a stroller??) These are the people in the grocery store who keep on their course like the North or South Going Zax and make me move out of their way while I'm holding groceries, an 8 month hold and trying to corral my 5 year old. What is it with people? Where did consideration go? Like why when I was pregnant did I have to hold the door open for men in public places? I really did. Enormous baby belly, walking in to work and they let me hold the door for them. I'm serious, it is so frustrating! It really is like these people see other people as nothing more than some "thing" in their way that they need to maneuver around, like a parked car or a cone in the road. I think I'm going to start telling them too. "Oh I'm sorry? Let me get out of your way, I'm sure you're way more important than I am anyway!" Or maybe I'll just start swinging!

So far so good

Haven't gotten the official all clear but the mammogram and ultrasound looked good. They didn't do a biopsy. Just need to compare my old mammogram with the new ones. Hopefully then I'll get the all clear.

Starting to Freak!

So the day my mom found out she had cancer was a hot day in July. Remember it completely. And she was dead 6 months later. Really starting to loose it. I know I shouldn't panic until I have a "reason" to. But isn't having a mammogram and biopsy sort of reason enough? I mean, they don't do those things on a whim or for no reason. And 6 months is before Christmas!! I'm taking deep breaths as if I'm in Lamaze class and it is keeping the diarrhea away (at least so far) but I'm not really in a good place right now. I hear Allison Janney as Peach the Starfish in Finding Nemo screaming "Find your happy place, find your happy place, FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE!"

A Good Day

Dad is out of surgery and doing well! Phew!
And Joshy spent all night last night in his crib! Wahoo!
Things are going well today! I'm so happy for both of them!

Happy Birthday Kate!

Today would have been Katharine Houghton Hepburn's 98th birthday. Although for years she claimed that her birthday was in November it was in fact May 12, 1907. November was her brother Tom's birthday, he died when she was 14 and she pretended that his birthday was hers as sort of a tribute to him. Wherever she is I hope she's having a good time!
