There is something about Koi fish that I love...I really would like to get one tattooed on my arm because they mean good luck. This was taken last summer at a local fish pond inside an office building.

I'm BACK!!!  

So here I am after a very long week. I have had so much of an experience that I could talk about it for ages. I'll just give you the short version in an email I sent my aunt.

~~~~~~~I think that it really freaked me out in general. But when they were giving me my spinal that is when I really started to freak. I started wondering why I was doing it and if it was the right thing. I was really excited to be awake but they saw how nervous I was so they kept on giving me relaxants.Then he cut me open and started yanking on things...that was the freakiest part. I told them I wanted to be put to sleep...the mental pictures I kept getting! It was just really weird being awake and having them cut you open. They said the whole surgery would be that way the pulling and tugging. So I went to sleep. I was upset about that...I really wanted to see my uterus.

When I woke up in recovery I couldn't believe the amount of pain! They started letting me push the morphine button (bad idea!) so there I was stoned out of my mind and then on top of it I started puking. So finally at night the nurses had enough because I wouldn't stay awake or breath they said, they took me off of it. I was sad but hey I was glad to be coherent after that!

I just can't get over the pain. You have to watch out how you move and what you do constantly. Last night at home sucked sleeping because I was flat...it felt like my stomach was ripping apart. I don't have very good drugs for at home because I didn't want them but I think I should have reconsidered.~~~~~~~~

But now the whole thing is over and I feel better.

So my surgery is only days away!!!  

Ok so I found out what time my surgery is on Monday. I have to be at the hospital at 6am and then the OR time is 7:40am. I tell you I have been so nervous I want to puke. I can't even eat supper because I can't stop thinking about it. I'm also wondering how things are going to go at home while I'm gone. There is bills to be paid and things like that. This is really teaching me how to let go.

I have news for everyone, since I will be gone next week...Monday to Friday I will have confessing7girl taking over my blog for me. Just be really nice to her....she is an amazing person and I know my blog will be in good hands. But you are stuck with me until Sunday but I wanted to prepare you all!

As you can see my son was having lots of fun. First, playing in the water. And then he was the chef making me food. Then he got on the phone to call another customer. And then the food on the bottom is what he made for the customer. He charged the customer $1500, and he said my order came to 87 cents! (Note: I know he needs a haircut!!!

I took my baby to kindergarten today!  

Well today was a big day for our family. My son went to kindergarten today. I was dreading this all along. We walked there and he was crying the whole time. He didn't want to go and he was hot and he wanted water. (OK it was really hot and humid out...we hardly ever get humidity here.) So I felt bad that I like dragged him there. And then he got into the classroom and it was a whole different ball game. He took off and became independant. He started playing in the water and really liked all the new things he had at his fingers. He also got to meet the teacher that was my daughter's teacher 5 years ago. She said she couldn't believe he was already so old. He really liked the little centers they had...especially the kitchen center. He had to make me something to eat. It was so cute. He had on his little chefs hat and everything. I realized that he would be okay without me. He has been with me every moment...I was hoping he would embrace this.

I also got myself in a little pickle today at Go!Smell the Flowers site. They opened a can of worms over there. They just wanted to know if they should invest in a charity to donate to. Well all of us had other ideas. I am almost embarrased at my behavior over there (I said ALMOST) but sometimes when people pressure you to try do something good other things end up happening. Here is the post if you want to read my horrible comments. And even feel free to add your own...they encourage free speech over there....I tell them to rock on!

My dream last night....  

I was just going about my day today when this thing on what my dream on celebrity appearances ended up in my mail box. I totally forgot all about the dream I had last night about Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise and Suri. Katie Holmes was giving me money to help with child care. Now that really is a dream. And Suri was just talking up a storm. I didn't think about it until I was going through my emails. And there was the dream decoder I get sent to me everyday and today they are right on the money! What are the chances....so now you can read about what my celebrity dream meant....
______________________________________________________
Dream about Celebrity Appearances
As the media continues to create stronger icon status for people in the news, it is not surprising that lay people are dreaming of them as well. It is not at all unusual for people to think they know particular public figures and so to experience them in a dream. Dreaming of any particular celebrity often reveals a fantasy for friendship or romance. These dreams may also show a sense of being a peer or equal to that celebrity as if to say, I can do that, too. A second aspect of this phenomenon is living vicariously through a celebrity. In this instance, people will assume a peculiar sense of participation with a public figure's success and notoriety.
Another variation of this is becoming a celebrity yourself. This may include performing with other celebrities while achieving your own icon status. This kind of notoriety may be showing you your own giftedness (or sense thereof) in a particular area, or it may be intended to encourage you to pursue a higher ambition for yourself.

Of course, because today's media completely inundates the public with images and rumors of celebrities, they may appear in your dream simply as extraneous static.

Fathers Day...  

So it is Father's Day on Sunday. I got ripped off this year because my wedding anniversary and Mother's Day were like a day apart. But now there is nothing around on June. I told my husband I didn't know what I was going to get him. He is the most picky person in the world. If he doesn't like what you gave him he will say something. Me I'll be grateful if you remember me. Give me a paperclip for all I care at least you gave me something.

I was looking at This Eclectic Life and she had this list of things that her father said to her. You have to check it out. There I was balling my eyes out. (My dad and I are on the outs right now. But it doesn't mean I don't miss him.) It should be so nice to have a wonderful father.

Happy fathers day to all fathers out there.

Today I was at the Hospital  

I went for my pre-op appointment. My surgery is in two weeks today. I'm starting to get really nervous. I got a whole novel on what is going to happen and how to deal with abdominal surgery afterward. I wish they would have given it to me after they take my uterus. I had two appointments....one with the guy who is going to give me a spinal like I asked and and internal doctor. He just couldn't stop staring at my tattoo's. I had to show them all to him. I went to get blood and get a funky little bracelet that I have to wear now until after I get out of the hospital. It is so if I need a blood transfusion they know what kind of blood I need. (Very reassuring isn't it???) So the funny thing was the nurse that took my blood asked if my tattoos were permanent. And if they weren't how I would get permanent ones. You know I used to think that too but if they have a needle and ink...guess what...THEY ARE PERMANENT. She asks me how do you get it off? I said with a laser. But then I said you don't get a tattoo just to remove it later. Funny people eh???

Here's the question for the day:

You Should Get An All Over Tattoo

Outrageous and funky
Because you should never have to choose just one tattoo


Come back and tell me....I always want to know what you guys get....

Today Is another day  

I am very exhausted as I write this. Today we went swimming. Well it wasn't like we couldn't do that in our backyard since it rained and rained again. We are going to have such bad mosquitoes this year...but I regress. So I really had alot of fun. We were all trying to drown each other in the water...Great family we have eh??? And then I went on the diving board with my daughter. I have been getting to know the diving board a little better and today I got cocky. I went to dive and started to roll too soon and did a back flop. I was seeing stars for a long time after that. I don't think anyone around me realized how bad it was. I just stayed quiet for a long time thinking may be I shouldn't do that anymore. After we got home I never knew my family could be so quiet...LOL

I thought it was so funny though how brave my son is. He would jump right into the waves as if there was no tomorrow.

How to Outwit your Appetite  

If you are anything like me you are always trying to find ways to lose weight. I thought I would share this article I found on yahoo to show you there are ways we can try to outwit our appetites....we can be tricky....


You don't have to be smarter than a quiz show fifth-grader to learn how to control the urge to eat. Just follow these ingenious tips:

1. Feed it protein for breakfast. You'll be less hungry later on and end up eating 267 fewer calories during the day. At least that's what happened on days when St. Louis University researchers gave overweight women two scrambled eggs and two slices of jelly-topped toast for breakfast rather than about half that protein.

2. Make it climb a flight of stairs. At home, store the foods that tempt you most way out of reach. For instance, Cornell University food psychologist Brian Wansink, PhD, keeps his favorite soda in a basement fridge. "Half the time I'm too lazy to run down there to get it, so I drink the water in the kitchen."

3. Sleep on it. People who don't get their eight hours of zzz's experience hormonal fluctuations that increase appetite, report researchers.

4. Give it something else to think about. When scientists scanned the brains of people eating different foods, they found that the brain reacts to fat in the mouth in much the same way that the nose responds to a pleasant aroma. So if you feel a craving coming on, apply your favorite scent.

5. Never let it see a heaping plate. The more food that's in front of you, the more you'll eat. So at a restaurant, ask your waiter to pack up half of your meal before serving it to you, then eat the extras for lunch the next day.

6. Put it under the lights. You consume fewer calories at a well-lit restaurant table than you do dining in a dark corner. "In the light, you're more self-conscious and worry that other patrons are watching what you eat," explains Wansink.

7. Talk it down. Entertaining friends with a great story doesn't give you much time to eat up, so you'll probably still have food on your plate when they're done. Once they're finished, call it quits too.

8. Offer it a seat. If you sit down to snack -- and use utensils and a plate -- you'll eat fewer calories at subsequent meals.

9. Satisfy it with soup. Start lunch with about 130 calories worth of vegetable soup and you'll eat 20 percent fewer calories during lunch overall, say Penn State experts.

10. Give it little choice. Packages that contain assorted varieties of cookies, candy, dips, cheese, etc., make you want to try all the flavors. The effect is so powerful, says Wansink, that when people are given 10 colors of M&Ms to munch on, not seven, they eat 30 percent more!

So here I am after another long day. I was reading the newspapers about the horrible storm we had the other night. It has done $10 million dollars in damage. Roads have buckled and houses have collapsed. I saw today just how bad the rain effected the roads outside the house. You know when I heard the thunderstorm I never imagined it was that bad. I found some pics on another blog that showed the damage we had. (But I don't want to link it because it will tell you where I live.)





You know I have never seen rain like this before. And it didn't take long for it to get like this.

Here is today's question:
