Bullet points
I can’t think straight to type a coherent post, so I plan to cheat. Here are some thoughts floating around in my head, in order of importance:
*my mom was diagnosed with Von Willebrand Disease today, in addition to the essential thrombocythemia. It is hereditary, and I will have to be tested as well as my kids…with emphasis on my daughter. Oh goody. Please, would someone just shoot me already!!!!!!!!!!!
*my boys DOMINATED at the City meet. Cory brought home 1st place in 4 events, and a 2nd place too. Cody got 1st, 4th and 5th. It was a great day, and now we are on to regionals.
*I have another small cyst in a special, special place. Let’s just say it is from my bike shorts and that it is a bit uncomfortable. The end.
*My average bike speed is up to 15mph, and Bills is hovering at 16.2. Here I come, honey!!! Whoop, whoop, whoop.**
*I actually added on 60 more channels to our Dish Network satellite just so we could get the Outdoor Life Network and watch the Tour de France. I am unstable. Yes, I know.
*our outside cat disappeared and has been gone for 4 days now. The same cat that liked to climb on top of the carport and use the accumulated leaves up there as a litter box. Wherever you are, Tiger, please stay there. Godspeed.
*I got Mia a little dolly stroller and one of my friends told me that she is spoiled. I don’t think it was meant to sound as bad as it did. What do you think?
In light of today’s news, I am having what one would consider a stressful evening. We don’t know if Mom has Type I, II, or III yet. It appears that type III is indicated in the female gene pool. Type III is similar to hemophilia. Please God, don’t let this be the dreaded shoe drop that I have been anticipating with Amelia.
To take my mind off of it, I would like to ask everyone who stops in to leave a little comment. Even just a "Hi" to let me know that the 500-1000 hits a week are not just me checking my page over and over again. I have several regular commenter’s who are so great about checking in and saying hi. But, I would also love to hear from the lurkers out there.
So, please don’t be shy. And don’t forget to leave a link to your web page.
**his average speed on one ride was 17.2mph, but I believe it was due to an increase in testosterone levels associated with me coming home and informing him that I averaged 15.1mph.
I know I am late here, but hoping everything is negative for you and the kids.
I never understood why people want to make their age younger. I am going to lie and make myself older so that people will tell me how awesome and young I look
Delurking to say I hope it’s just the mild form your mom has, and that you and your daughter are okay.
Congrats to your boys on their achievements–dd#1 just joined our pool club’s swim team this year so I’m learning all the “lingo” and how to read meet sheets!
As far as the spoiled comment…:::sigh:::. It never fails to amaze me how people feel free to make whatever comments they feel like when it comes to childrearing. (Without going into details, I get them all the time from a family member about one of my children in particular).
Hope your week gets better.
haha on da cat sounds liek some one i know MUFPUF lol….i hope and prey your mom is ok
You are too funny! I often wonder if all the hits to my page are just me popping in to see if anyone has stopped by too!
At least now you know what your mom has, even if it is not a great diagnosis. Your family is in my thoughts.
Delurking.
May all be well
and all things be well,
and all matter of things be well.
My comments (in bullet point)
* I’ll pray that your mom is OK and that you and Mia are in the clear
* Your boys ROCK! My kids play sports, but more on grit than talent
* I too have had a cyst “in a special place”, sorry! apply liquor internally
* watch out dh, here she comes
* she is not spoiled!
* whine, whine, I wish we had dish
Hi.
Man, what a month! Everywhere I read it seems there is something happening. My thoughts are with you.
Been reading your blog for a few weeks and enjoy your posts. I especially loved the post this week on what people say about your working to get your baby girl. I have 4 daughters and one son and people never cease to amaze me about their stupid comments.
THINK, PEOPLE, THINK.
My BIL has von Willebrand’s, and he played football and leads a normal life. The only thing he hasn’t been able to do was have his tonsils removed, because they tested his clotting factor on several occasions (he had chronic tonsilitis and strep throat) but his clotting factor was never good enough to do the surgery. His children haven’t been tested, and our pediatrician noted it but never seemed concerned–although I guess it they could have it and we wouldn’t know.
Try not to worry! At least till you find out what type your mom has. The link you posted says 80% of people have a very mild form.
Delurking to say hello!
