I Survived!!!

Yes I did... and lets just say I should get a GOLD Medal for the day I had today!!! The morning started off with... Taylor getting up and not functioning at full speed. (The result of lack of sleep from the night before.) She moved slower then a turtle this morning. It took her TWO hours to get dressed, eat, and then take some pictures for me. We barely made it to school on time. Actually we didn't make it to school on time. By the time we got about a 1/4 mile away we heard the bell ring. So we raced of to the class room door as soon as we got out of the car. Her day went really well though! She was excited to find out that she has Mrs. Kitchens and even more excited to be back at school with all her friends. I swear being in the public eye is where my daughter belongs. She just radiates when ever she is around other human beings. I mean she doesn't even have to know them and she will had befriended them, shared her and her moms life story by the time she leaves. I promise you world you will forever see my daughter in the spotlight!!! Here are some pictures for you to oh... and ah... over!

(Take a look at her demminer it says "look at me" all over it!)





Now with how my afternoon went... Blake had his Dr. Apt this afternoon and after 45 min of waiting in the waiting room and another 45 min of waiting in the room for the Dr., Blake and I were about to call it quits when finally the Dr. shows up and starts to review his chart. Blake is so tired by this time from me trying to restrain him from getting on the filthy germ infested floor that he decides he doesn't want to sit up any more in my arms. He lets his body go limp, he goes forward and hits the corner of the counter where the sink is. He is so tired and hurt that he doesn't cry or even make a noise he just holds it in and then all of a sudden he let out the biggest scream I had ever heard him let out. I finally got him to calm down for the Dr. to give him his checkup. This is where the Dr. laid him on the paper lined hospital looking table and starts to look all over his body to make sure everything is working properly. He just about gets everything checked out when he comes to his... lets just call it his we~we. The Dr. asks me to take a look at the shaft of his we~we where he has a big bump, and while I am kneeling down inspecting his we~we his says that he will have to have surgery! YES I SAID SURGERY! and as I was taking in every word that the Dr. had to say I was floored, no really literally floored. I went from me kneeling down toward Blake to sitting on my rear end on the, yes, filthy germ infested floor. I couldn't believe what I just heard. Poor Blake who just had bumped his head, is about to get 4 shots in his thigh and rear, when the Dr. decides to tell him that he has to have surgery on his we~we!!! I just couldn't believe it. As I managed to get myself up from the floor the Dr explains that he has fluid built up under the skin on the shaft of his we~we and will have to go to a specialist to get it cut open where they can release the fluid and test it to make sure that one, it isn't staff and two, that it isn't cancerous. Can you believe that AND we haven't even gotten to the shots yet! After the Dr. decides to tell me that my poor little boy will have to have his manhood.... wait he hasn't even gotten there yet... his boyhood be cut open we finally got to the shots and I don't know if it was the news of his surgery, the fact that I hate needles, or the look on my little boys face that when the Dr gave him his shots, I broke into tears! I mean pouring, oh my god come one Andria, tears! It was so bad that when the Dr was done he went out to the nurses station and had her bring in a pack of ice for Blakes head and a box of Kleenex for me! I was a reck! I surely thought that when I got my referal slip for Blake that I would have gotten another one slipped in there for my to go see some therapist or something!
