PHEW!!

Today a long day! First to drive out to old Scottsdale for a doctors appointment. Haven't been in a couple of years... not good! 

Maybe I've been afraid? I know I've been busy and then there was that pesky insurance lack there of problem...

So afraid because last time I was told if the lab came back abnormal it was time to remove my baby makin parts... worries me just slightly... and not because it's surgery... I've had a few myself... not NEARLY as many as lil Miss R, but a few.

I guess I'm more worried about genetics... my 'mom' was 29 when she had a total removal... her weight got out of hand... my 'sister' had one somewhere in her early 30's... her weight got out of hand... I mean seriously out of hand... my 'mom' who was skinny, skinny, skinny as a kid and into her early mid 20's...  was over 200 last I knew... my sister has always been heavier than I, but I know she was getting up to that range...

Me never weighing more than 130 (and that was pregnant) doesn't like this idea... I'm 120 now.. gained 10lbs in the last year which irks me to death because I don't eat... but I'm getting older... anyway, I don't want to gain that much weight.. my back is bad enough, I couldn't imagine. 

I have to go get my girls pancaked too, that is always a good time. I don't know why they insist on doing this to me... (let me explain)... I've been having this done since I was 24. Breast cancer runs in my family. My grandmother died at the age of 48 of breast cancer. My 'mom' had lumps removed in her 30's.

I was sick and went to the doctor when I was 24 and he said that my left breast was inflammed. So off to get squished. The doctor said she couldn't see anything but she felt something deep so she ordered and ultrasound... there, they found many fibroid cysts.  The doctor said she couldn't see anything but she felt something deep so she ordered and ultrasound... there, they found many cysts. They are super deep so they never come up on mammography... and why I say I don't know why they do that instead of an ultrasound... anyway... I'll play along since I'm concerned about the left breast.

Then off to get some free stuff at Target!! I got a Procter and Gamble coupon booklet in the mail the other day and the first set of coupons all expire 2.28.11 so needed to see if I could get some freebies... love that they don't say not for trial size... so go to the travel size area and free stuff!!  Also printed the Target Web coupons for their ibuprofen which is .99c a box (normal price) for a 24 count... coupon $1 so free ;)  Had a covergirl coupon in the booklet, found clearance nail top coat, free!!  The only thing I paid for today was one banana as I was using it as a filler... lol...  I got a bar of Irish spring soap, 3 boxes of Kleenex, a bag of Planters Almonds, 3 tubes of Colgate toothpaste, a trial size secret deodorant, trial size tide, one target brand dental floss, 3 vitamin waters, 2 boxes of ibuprofen, always panty liners, covergirl top coat polish, for free (just tax) and one banana for .24c... I should've spent $28.28 not including tax but including the banana :)

Then off to feeding therapy with Reiley. She did pretty well today, but sadly she got sick... she was swallowing some food and I don't know if it felt funny but she makes this noise when something is bothering her when she tries to swallow, gagged and got sick... poor girl.. but she took another bite of tuna (Starkist Tuna Pouch which mommy got for free btw) but after that one she decided she was done. We SOOO need to get an iPad.. her therapist uses one during therapy with her.. she loves it!  Gotta save up those rewards points on my bank account and trade them in for Target Gift Cards so we can get one!

Off to Trader Joe's as when she does well we go there as a reward so she can push the little grocery carts around... then to visit Grandpa for about 20 minutes with a promise to come back on Sunday... then to drive to CVS to pick up some of her medicine.. which sadly was not ready as promised... grrr... but not a wasted trip since that is where I picked up the free almonds... LOL!

Then home! PHEW! Friday's are always crazy!!
