Update to Cancer testing

Originally posted 2023-04-13 09:00:00. FINALLY!! So I went and had the cancer testing done to see if I am genetically susceptible to getting cancer. Now, this doesn’t cancel out my risk since it is a family history thing but it doesn’t mean I will get it either. This is just to see if I from a genetic standpoint. I had the test done by UNC Oncology. The test was just a blood draw and that…

Hell No?

Originally posted 2023-04-12 09:00:00. This was a draft post from several years ago… There are some things I am struggling with and don’t know how to handle it. My children’s biological father, aka “sperm donor”, has other children. He has 3 other daughters by two othe women. The youngest two daughters have been trying to have a relationship with my kids (well all 3 have but lately it has been more the 2 youngest) For…

Don’t remember part deuce

Originally posted 2023-03-26 18:17:06. So… I was talking to my daughter. Not sure how we got on the subject but it is what it is. We were talking some of the things that occurred while we were in Las Vegas and California. She was asking me if I remembered some of the crazy shit that happened in Vegas. Of course… I didn’t. I really wish I knew why I don’t remember things. Maybe it’s a…

Gingerbread Social

Originally posted 2020-01-19 23:10:55. Dusty was invited to a gingerbread party. It was originally planned in December but life got in the way. She decided to postpone it and it ended up two days ago. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Granted it was mainly girls there but my friend made sure he felt included. He won 2nd place in the gingerbread house contest. He brought it home and started eating the house today. It is now…

When one door slams in your face you can’t wait until another opens

Originally posted 2014-05-05 14:03:04. OK, this post will be relevant to some…others not so much. My husband was in the Marine Corps, loved his job, but he wasn’t born a stick figure. There are some people who just are “built” bigger than others. He did his job and did it well. He just needed more exercise than some. So when your so-called “leaders” are more inclined to not PT (exercise) then it hurts others. He didn’t…

There is a reason we are here, just not sure yet why.

Originally posted 2014-05-01 16:47:33. Have you ever wondered why you go through certain things in your life? Why you may suffer from events, diseases, or whatever you have gone through? Yeah, me too. As I have reached my fourth decade of life I look back and take accountability of the things that have gotten me here. I look at the things both of my children have had to go through being biracial, to the illnesses,…

Is it or is it not?

Originally posted 2021-06-07 16:39:09. I have an appointment in the morning for the results of my sinus ct scan! Wish me luck! Now if they would hurry up with the ct scan of my pelvic/abdominal area… They found some spots when they did my ultrasound so the doc sent out for ct scan. Just waiting for them to call and set up the appointment for that. I feel like I’m gonna glow by the time…

Double break

Originally posted 2023-03-16 15:30:55. Well my kid said go big or go home I guess. Somehow he managed to break his tooth and break his retainer 🤦🏼‍♀️. Not really sure how that happened. But leave it to him to do it. So off to the dentist we went. Then left there and went to the orthodontist to get a new retainer since it probably wouldn’t fit anymore. As you can see it wasn’t a horrible…

Why one and not the other?

Originally posted 2014-04-28 12:22:59. Since my children have been doing so much in their lives it has seemed to attract the attention of the bio father’s family. But one thing that angers us off is it seems to be so one-sided. Always about my daughter not my son. Asking about so many things where she is concerned. Even a few years ago calling her on her birthday and for the first time sending her a…
