This week is a dragger so far. I have had a head ache off and on for the last 2 weeks, and it's getting pretty old. I am going in Saturday to have blood work done to make sure I don't have diabetes or low blood sugar. I just don't feel right. I also have Asa's surgery coming up tomorrow, and could just be stressing about that. Oh well....poor me...
We are all so blessed. On my way to work every morning, I see a mother, with a what's look to look like a 2 year old boy, and a baby carrier with a huge diaper bag and other small bag. They are walking to the bus stop, rain or shine. Once they are at the bus stop, the mom peeks into the carrier to check on baby, and then adjusts the 2 year old boy's hat to make sure that he is warm. Then they just wait. I have seen them running for the bus....I have seen them waiting at the bus stop for long periods of time. It has made such an impact on me. They have made me cry, and made me smile. I have no idea what is going on in their life....if she has a significant other, if she works, where they are going.....I am always thankful for what I have in my life, tangible or not. I know that I would never have to be put in her position....taking the bus, having to haul around my little family in the elements. I also know that there are other people in more dire need, she just has made me thing of all my blessing even more....and I had to share.
As I mentioned before, Asa's surgery is tomorrow morning. We have to be at the hospital at 6am. YIKERS! Mom will be going with me, as Josh will be working. I'm so glad that she will be with me. Although, worry shows on moms face like my grandma's. It's pretty obvious. Beya, you are going to have to be strong for me!! It shouldn't take that long...and my worst fear is there will be complications, and he will go blind. I don't want him to puke after either...that is no fun seeing your baby's body shaking and convulsing throwing up. Like I have said, this is a no brainer surgery, and other parents have to endure much worse....but it's my baby boy. (crap, I've done and made myself cry) PLEASE PRAY FOR US! It will be OK....
I was told last week after visiting my PCP, that my headaches and pain in my shoulders and back, my be due to my breasts. He says that breast reduction surgery may very well cure my tension and headaches. I am in the middle on this, not sure....kind of scared....pretty invasive. Of course Josh had to say that when/if it's done, that the medical report should say "breast reduction/ENHANCEMENT. Figures....a man's view. I had a friend go through with it about 5 years ago, and she had some complications. (You know who you are:) Anyone else have any views or opinions?
I had my sweet Valentina yesterday afternoon. Sissy got to have a small break. We had errands to run, and we had a great time. She makes things so fun. Asa and her just literally run and run around the house, chasing each other and squealing and squealing. Valentina would laugh so hard that she would fall down. Now when she falls, she spreads her legs sitting down, and pushes up with both hands, between her spread legs and pushes up. It totally looks like a gymnast move. It's very slow and precise. She is hilarious. Asa brings out a lot of toys, and asks me if they are age appropriate for her. Most are not....
Mom and I went to Stampin' Up class last night. It's always nice to have one on one with mom. I love being all together too, but I feel special when I have mom to myself, every 2 months or so:) We made some beeeeutiful cards...listened to other's gossip...and just enjoyed doing crafts together. Thanks Mum.
Asa and I have a fun afternoon to look forward to. I can't wait to see my little man in less than an hour!! YIPPEE

I love your blog! I see a man on my home from work just about every day taking the bus with his metal lunchbucket. I too wonder about him.
I will be saying a prayer tonight for Asa and all of you that his surgery go well. Good luck tomorrow!
Love one on one time with my mom. What kinds of cards do you make? I have a friend who used to make cards and see them on ebay.
I will be praying for Asa and also for you. Glad you got to go to Stampin Up group last night, sure wish I could, but working 3rd shift makes it too hard, I would fall asleep on the job and that would be no fun..But I get to go to one on Friday and one on Saturday this week YIPPPEEE.
Can you believe it is suppose to snow this weekend? What was last weekend the only summer we will have? Figures, I slept thru Summer, I had allergies and never saw the sun I went to sleep in the rain and I left on Monday morning in the rain.
With a breast reduction, just do your research, always get a second opinion and even a third and only do it with the Dr you feel most comfortable with. I have a lady I use to work with she had it done for the very reasons you stated, back pain, and headaches, she said recovery was a bit slow ( no heavy lifting nothing above a certain level) but she is very happy she had it done. You have not mentioned pre school again, have you decided that since Asa has soccer he no longer needs an outlet? just wondering.
I love your blog enteries and I am so happy when you post. Please let us know how surgery goes, I am sure it will be a breeze, and as i said I and alot of others will be praying for Asa and you and your family.
Hugs,
Mother TeresaII (m t 2 )
We will definitely be praying for Asa, as well as all of you! I've never had to experience that sort of thing with my kids, but I'm sure I would be a mess. Enjoy your day with your little man! Love you!
What is so great, is that God made kids strong!!! Asa will be just fine........and taking care of you by end of day tomorrow! You wouldn't be mom if you weren't stressed completely out about the surgery....Our family will pray for him tonight, and I will keep him in my prayers tomorrow...Just do what you can to keep the positive thoughts.
As far as breast reduction..........JUST DO IT!!! The only regret that you will have....is, why in the world didn't I do this sooner! Like 10 years ago. ;~) I remember my first thought after surgery was...I can't feel my chest....(There was 5 pounds of chest gone)....Take a 5 pound bag of sugar and sit it on your chest, and then take it off........it will kind of give you an idea! Plus, how else can you get almost $30,000 worth of "cosmetic" surgery and have the insurance pay for it?
Have a good one, and keep us all up to date on the surgery tomorrow
I will definitely keep Asa in my prayers. And of course you and Josh, too. It's harder on the parents, I think. Little Man is a super trooper, and will make it through this with flying colors!
As for the reduction, I'd do it in a heartbeat. T. FREAKS every time I mention it :) I almost do it just to watch his head spin. But seriously, my Aunt had it done and she said it was the best thing in the world. I think the sugar analogy is perfect-my aunt actually said something a little less politically correct (think little people), but you get the picture. I'd say go for it!
