Proud Mama

The girls both received report cards today. My early school days were less than memorable when it comes to grades. I have more memories of the book being thrown when I could not spell the words or the yelling. I have tried my best to ensure that my girls have a much different educational experience than I did.

For Madison, this was her first public school report card. It is that secure, developing and beginning scale (which I am not a fan of). I was so proud of my baby! She received a secure in all math criteria and a mix of secure and developing on the others. She is developing into such a bright and wonderful little girl, I really could not be prouder!

Megan has made it two in a row, principles list, straight A’s! I have no words for this except outstanding!

I am so glad that the Disney trip is just around the corner, my hard working students deserve a vacation! 11 days away, the countdown is in full swing now!

I get to go to Disney with a clear head!

I received a call from the doctor this morning with the results of the endometrial biopsy. There is no cancer! They were not fully normal but for the purposes of my worry level they were fantastic! What has been identified is an endometrial polyp. This little bugger causes its own issues and in a small percentage of the time can turn to something more. For my purposes right now, I will go to Disney with my family knowing that I am healthy! For this, I am extremely thankful!

What happens when I return? I have to think about this. I will have to repeat the pelvic ultrasound in 2-3 months to once again check on the ovarian cysts. It would be nice if they would go away already! I will deal with that when needed.

As for the polyp, I do have issues that this would cause. They recommend an endometrial ablation procedure to remove it. I am not going into detail about the symptoms of or the procedure to get rid of the polyp. If you are interested click one of the colored links.

For now I can focus on something really important, the quickly approaching Disney trip! We received our packet from the Disney Express. This is the first time we are staying at a Disney resort so it is the first time having to arrange for a pick up. I am so far very impressed with the organization and professionalism of everyone we have talked to from the initial reservation, to meal planning to now the express representatives. There are so many companies who have such poor service, it is refreshing to deal with one who really gets it!

The Happiest place on earth! Have a magical day!

Another day in paradise

Today was my day to help out in Madison’s class. It was fun in a strange way. I am not nor have I ever claimed to be a lover of all children. I do enjoy seeing my baby with her peers, she is such a big girl, confident, strong and proud. She seems to enjoy my being in the class and there is nothing more important to me than being there for my girls.

When I got home I decided to take a walk, clear my head a bit. Although I am trying not to think too much about the pending biopsy, it is lingering in the back of my head. The weather here is unseasonably warm. It was nice to be out. The breeze was a bit chilly but with iPod going it really did feel great to walk. At one point I felt like Forrest Gump, once I started going I did not want to stop.

The girls were able to go outside to play for a little while after school which was also very nice. I cooked out on the grill which is just crazy in the North East in January. The day all in all was not too bad, calm and nice. Then came dinner when my 6-year-old informed me that I did not have a “real” job.

Interesting even at that age the societal message has gotten through.
