Where has time gone?

Wow, it's been 10 whole days since I wrote anything! I guess I don't have that much to say. Let's see what happened to me the past 10 days:

• We celebrated Hubby's Birthday
• Decorated outside/inside for Halloween
  
• My neighbor invited us over for an awesome dinner
  
• I finished painting the family room, finally
• Helped Hubby organize and winterize the garage
  
• Had a breakfast play date with a few of my neighbors and their kids
  
• I babysat for both of my nephews
  
• I planted alot of bulbs for the spring and help a friend plant her bulbs
• Celebrated the birth of my friend's Baby Girl
• Went out to dinner with some friends
• Watched the Phillies win the series against the Dodgers
  
• Going out tonight for the neighborhood Ladies Night

I think that is about all that has happened this week. So maybe I need have something to say I just didn't have time!

Little Mermaid

I just have to brag about my Little Mermaid. She did such an awesome job today at swim class, even the instructor commented on her swimming today. I was bursting with pride! She kicked, paddled, used the kick board, went under water, and did everything else I asked her to do all while laughing and having a great time! I don't know if it is because she slept until 7:45 this morning or that she is getting the hang of the class or a combo of both but I loved every minute of today's class! Thanks for letting me brag!

Colonoscopy

Tomorrow I have to do my colonoscopy! Yuck! I have to get one every other year! The worse part is not eating for 24 hours, that is like a life time to me. But I will do it, not for myself but for my daughter and husband.

I lost my Mom to colon cancer when she was 52 and I was 25. I do not want to do that to my family so I will do what I have to do to make sure that will never happen.

Ever since having my daughter I get more nervous about having colonoscopy's done. Before the only thing I worried about was whether or not my UC was under control, now I worry about if the doctor is going to find the dreaded "C" word. I don't want to put my daughter or my husband through what my family went through with my Mom. Since my Mom never went to the doctor's I don't know when her cancer started. It was diagnosed too late when she was 50. I am 33 now. My Mom and Great Uncle were both diagnosed with colon cancer when they were young, but my Grandfather wasn't diagnosed until when he was in his 80's. So what's that mean for me? I guess only time will tell and doing the preventative measures that I'm doing is what counts!

Do me a favor have something to eat for me today! Thanks!

Facebook Junkie

I joined facebook a couple weeks ago and completely neglected my blog. This facebook thing is crazy. I have connected with so many people from my past and the present. People from high school, college, old jobs, neighbors, and co-workers. I'm completely addicted! I'm a Facebook Junkie! Help me!

I first just wanted to see if my younger cousin was on it. I was just checking up on her. That's how it started because you can't go on looking for people unless you make a profile. So I made a profile no biggie. Now I have all kinds of friends, applications, games, messages, gifts, beer, happy hour and dodge balls getting aimed at me. I was also asked to be a Vampire and be in the MOB! What's that all about, I have no idea! Oh I did find my cousin, in case you were wondering, I can't see if she is doing OK because I can't go on her profile unless I'm her "friend" and that is a long story in itself.

I just wanted to let everyone know where I was. I didn't stop blogging, just started Facebook!

I'm Done...

I'm so sick and tired of myself, of my health and my body. I'm so tired of being the 1% that things happen to. I have been trying for 2 years now to get myself in control of my ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis with no luck. All the medications I try my body reacts in a negative way to them. I done! I don't know what else to do. I would love to know how it feels to wake up in the morning with no problems, no aches or pains, no headaches, and no stomach issues. I would love to be able to eat a salad, veggie's, fruit, popcorn or peanuts without having any problems afterwards. I just want to be healthy again. Why was I chosen to have both these disease's? What did I do wrong? I was a good girl and still am. I know there are people out there who have it worse than me, but there are a whole lot of people who are better off too who don't even deserve to be!

Girls Night...

The Fearsome Fivesome (as my husbands calls us) got together last night at my house for some snacks, drinks and chatter! It was a good time. Not as crazy as the first night we all got together. The one, J, is celebrating her youngest sons 1st birthday. L, is enjoying motherhood and going back to work. H, is getting ready or is ready to have her second baby. She has 2 months left. Lastly M, is also enjoying motherhood and getting ready to take the twins, who are 4 months old, on their first airplane trip to Florida! CRAZY! I couldn't even imagine what that trip is going to be like. She also shared with us that she used to have piercings that had to be taken out to breast feed! OUCH! Our next group outing with the whole neighborhood is Sept 18th.

Tonight is dinner with The Restaurant Club Girls. I know 2 girls nights in a row! I'm a wild and crazy girl this weekend. We are going to a local BYOB. This time there is going to be 8 of us! We're getting bigger, what started with 2 turned to 4 and now 8!

That's all for now.

INIA

This morning our Little One had her first swim class. They are called the Inia's. She did OK, she is fighting a cold so she was a little clingy. We sang songs in the water, swam, and played with some toys. Some of the skills the instructor wanted us to do were a little old for her, but by the end of November she said that the kids should be Ok with them. So let's hope. So far so good!
