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!
