Not feelin’ it!

Don’t judge me for his meal…he’s a picky eater darnit!!! haha

I’m having a blah day…it started out horrendously…my “adorable” 3 year old is starting to not be so adorable all the time. Recently in the mornings he has been a handful. Putting my child in time-out at 6:30am isn’t exactly very fun!! I thought it was hard to get boys up in the mornings when they are a tween or teen…NOT when they are only THREE years old…geeeezus!!! He’s screaming and shouting at us…not wanting to get dressed or out of bed. Running from us to brush his hair…pissed when his cartoon is over and we hve to leave….Please Lord let this JUST be a few weeks of the terrible threes (be quiet everyone that wants to tell me differently!)

And this week I went to see my dermatologist…I see her every 6 months because of my “history”, job and my skin tone…its ok…I don’t mind. Since my friend from Zumba, Jennifer, was recently diagnosed with melanoma I willingly go to the derm…JUST to be sure!  Anyway…everything looks good…except the “sun damage” I had on my forehead. She said it was no harm BUT froze/burned some of them off. So I’ve been looking like this all week.

Yeah…NOT so cute!! I’ve had a hat on at work ALL WEEK!!!!!

On top of the yucky face…the wart on my foot is back…and man it seems to be back and REALLY PISSED off that I tried to get rid of it (check out that blog here)

Isn’t that one of the grossest things ever…I’m disgusted! I’m scheduled for a surgical removal on June 15th…Doc didn’t want to take it off BEFORE my cruise because the wound probably wouldn’t be healed by our departure date. So I wait…and this bad-boy is tagging along to the caribbean with us. Its so huge I might have to get it its own freakin’ stateroom!

SO I’m feeling BLAH…and today was the time of year in my Health class that I talk about Hodgkin’s and how it affected my life. In health, we go over infectious diseases and we cover cancer. Kids pick a disease or disorder and make a power point…so I’ve made a very personal one of my journey through Hodgkins.  Its weird…I talk in front of TONS of students everyday…but the few times I have presented this power point I get really emotional. It takes me back to that feeling and place in time when I was so scared. The time that I asked my doctor “Am I going to die?” and he replied “Not necessarily”.  I see pictures of the “old” me and Owen when he was a baby in the power point…and it makes me sad to think about the first 10 months of his life..and how it didn’t revolve around him but around chemo! Pretty sad!

Seeing pictures of yourself like that is a tad disturbing…Never want to go back to that time in Feb 2012!

As I was reading in the Health Textbook about cancer I noticed a little graphic that said warning signs of cancer…and the usual's were listed: weight loss, night sweats, blah blah blah. BUT one of them caught my attention…it said “a drastic change in either a mole or wart”   What a WART??? I NEVER knew.  So of course YOU know this girl was on my email with kp.org to my podiatrist to make sure that they will be biopsying this bad boy! yes I’m a paranoid freak…but my oncologist said that’s normal! bahahahahaha

Anyway…I must go now and make myself feel better…gonna get my ZUMBA on baby!! But I actually already kinda feel better…I swear sometimes blogging is like therapy! haha
