Possession of Rebecca

Every once in awhile, when my little girl stays up very late the night before and she's had a hard day playing, my normally very mild-mannered sweet girl becomes possessed. Last night, the possession took place.

Boy, she sure didn't want to take that bath. It took two of us to hold and undress her. I literally had to wrestle her to get her shirt off. She was holding on to it for dear life. Unfortunately, I couldn't help myself. I was hysterical with laughter. Tony, just shook his head.

I'm glad this doesn't go on too often. She did wake up this morning back to her normal sweet self. I guess everyone deserves an off moment.

Lucky Me

Luck me, I am going to be one of those 2% of the women of 40 who will continue to have a period after the procedure I had. My body is an "amazing healer". Oh, Joy!!

You see, when the do the procedure it burns the lining of the uterus walls. Its a 3rd degree burn and the theory is that your body will be uncapable of healing the lining to have the period build up anymore. My body healed. I guess its good. Maybe not.

"Amazing Body!!"

Weekly Weigh In

Hmmmm, I guess I didn't post my weigh in here last week. Strange, I thought I did. Anyways, I lost 1.2 lbs this week for a total of 14.8!!

New Pictures

Some pictures that finally made it off the camera. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I had a smudge on my camera lense

The Gift

I forgot to mention what the gift was. I got Tony a new snorkel set. We really enjoyed snorkeling in the Keys last year. We plan on going again this summer and doing our own snorkeling trips on the jetskis. So, I got him a really nice set. I also got a guide book of the coral reefs in the Keys that identifies marine life that can be found there. Pretty cool huh?

Poor Belle (disney). Rebecca beheaded her this morning. I had to operate and reattach her head. And we were worried about her losing the little pieces. She lost her mind!!!

I'm tired. Too much nighttime tv shows to watch. And just where is my AI buddy????

Things Getting Done

Things are getting done, one by one. Its been one of those days and I can't wait to go home.

I did manage to get Tony's birthday present ordered. I'm horrible at keeping secrets, so he knows what he is getting already. I just hope it gets here in time for his birthday. I know he will love it, he told me so. hehehehe.

32 Degrees!!!

Yep, it was quite nippy out by our house this morning. I checked the 5 day forecast and at least the rest of the week will be in the mid to high 70's. Thank God!!! We're running out of winter clothes that fit Rebecca. Tops are good, but her pants are way too short, but if we go up a size they are way to big in the waist. Glad warmer weather is coming and I'm especially happy for elastic waist shorts and skirts.

Maragarita's birthday is today!!!! Happy Birthday. Tony is taking her to lunch. I hope she likes her present.

Its Love!!!

Our mama cat loves us. She left us tokens of her appreciation. Not just one dead animal!!! But, three!!! Yes, three dead lizards as a token of her love for us.

I feel so special!!!

Grey's Anatomy!!

WOW!!! What a show!!! Can't wait till next week!!!

Guess that sums it up.

This and That

How was everyone's Valentines? Mine was nice. We got take out from Chili's. It was so yummy. Lots of little presents from loved ones. I did pass out asleep on the couch at 8:00 p.m. Tony woke me at 9:00 to watch American Idol. Unfortunately, I dozed off and on through the whole show. Good thing we DVR'd it. I'll rewatch it tommorrow night.

Tonight is Grey's Anatomy. Last week's show was such a cliff hangar. I can't wait to watch it tonight. Hope I stay awake.

I didn't do my weight loss total for this week!!! I've lossed a total of 12.8 lbs since 1/1/07. Not too shabby. The challenge is to lose 6 more pounds by St. Patty's Day. I think I can do that. Here's to me!!

I noticed that its getting lighter earlier and earlier in the morning. I think they changed the date when the clocks spring ahead. I'll have to find out when that happens. I do like being in the light to drive to work in the morning. I look forward to it being light in the evenings too. Just can't please a girl, huh?

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Decisions, Decisions . . . .

We're in the vacation planning mode. Just mulling over the possibilities. Not quite sure what we are going to do yet. My mother-in-law expressed her wished to visit her sister again. I'm not quite sure she is willing to go alone. Maybe. I'll probably vacation at the same time. I have a few places in mind were I would like to spend my free time. I might be able to wing two trips this year. Michigan would be an easy trip. Illinois would be a new adventure and an opportunity to see a long-time friend. Then there is the 40+ Moms group that wants to meet in PA for a weekend. I just don't know if I can justify a 14 hour drive for a weekend. And flying in and renting a car from Philly would just be too expensive.

Maybe, I can talk mil into a long weekend visit with her sister and I can take a long weekend to visit Illinois and then winter in Michigan, like my original plan. I really wanted to take Rebecca next winter to play in the snow. I think she would love it.

We do have a couple long weekends coming up that I'm looking forward to. Sebastion Inlet in early summer and Key West in late summer.

Planning is tough stuff.

Pics of My Uterus

Isn't this cool? Technology has come a long way. Moving from the top left down to the bottom right, you can see the polyps and with the final picture being of my uterus totally cleaned out. No more periods for me!!!

My Before Picture

This is my goal. This picture was taken in November of 2003. I was actually pregnant in this pic. I want to look like this again . . . . . . .

More Updates . . . . .

There was a thread on my birthboard about girls getting their hair trimmed. I caved to the peer pressure and had Rebecca's hair trimmed up. I have to admit that it looks a lot thicker without all the scraggly hair. Here's a couple pics.

My ablation surgery went well. No more periods for me!!!! I have some cool pics of my uterus too. Apparently, I had a lot of polyps. So, the pics are before and afters of my uterus.

Updates . . . . .

Let's see . ..

The kittens have all been given away!!! We are down to 2 dogs, 3 cats. We are still looking for a home for Kit, the 7 mos old. If we don't find one soon, I'm afraid I'm taking her to the SPCA. Too many animals and the vet costs way to much.

No weight loss this week. No gain either. I guess I'm plateauing. That's ok. I can tell my clothes are getting looser though.

Rebecca's eye is doing really well. The glue is sticking still. They said a week for it to fall off. But, it doesn't look ready to fall off.

Looking ahead . . .

I have my surgery on Thursday. I've been kind of ignoring it. I'm not scared of the procedure. Being put under is giving me a little stress. A little? Who am I kidding, I'm scared. Maybe if it was at an outpatient center I wouldn't be concerned. But, I'm having it done at the Women's hospital. Makes it seem that much more serious. When its really not. We'll see.

Happy Birthday to my Dad!!!! He's 78 years young today!!!

TTFN

See What a Little Paint Can Do

This artist was good. See how pretty she made Rebecca's eye? We went to the Mount Dora Art Festival today. Rebecca tried her hand at painting too.

The Damage

My poor baby!!!

My Poor Baby

Rebecca had her first real injury. Somehow, she fell in the bathroom and cut her eye right along the eyebrow line. My poor baby. I took her to the doctor and instead of stiches they use surgical glue now. So they glued her back together. She woke up with a swollen black eye. I still haven't taken a picture, but I will tonight. My poor baby.
