Get Up And Move!
I’ve got another crazy weekend planned! You may have all read about the craziness of last weekend and helping my mom paint, plant new plants, and rearrange her living room. We were busy, busy, busy last weekend! (Oh, I forgot to add that going to my moms from my house is a 4 hour drive too!). We took our kids to Bay Beach last weekend too! (For those who don’t know, Bay Beach is an amusement park in Green Bay. Rides cost 1 ticket to get on (each ticket is 25 cents!). There are some two ticket rides too. The new roller coaster they put in, The Zippin Pippin, is $1.00. (We wen’t on it — it’s worth a $1!).
This weekend is shaping up to be busy — just not quite as busy. Tonight, I have to go to a dinner with Bill for work. These things are always nice and well, boring. I’m hoping to get some more of my own yard work done this weekend. I want to put a border around my front pine trees, and then add the rocks that are around the side of my house under the tree. It isn’t like we can grow anything under those trees anyway. However, something I’ve noticed that has happened with all of the yard work I’ve been doing — I want to be more active. Now, I’m not saying that I am going to run out and get myself a Recumbent exercise bike or a gym quality bikes or even a Keiser indoor bike (though I could if I wanted to). Instead, it just makes me want to get out and exercise. For me, that is a great thing since I don’t normally have any motivation to do so. If it doesn’t rain, I’m going to paint my front porch too. The only problem is that I can’t figure out what color to paint it! Also, if it doesn’t rain, we are going to take the kids to be Morton Arboretum. They have an awesome kids section there and I got a great GroupOn for it a couple of months ago.
As you can see, we have a crazy weekend scheduled. What does your weekend look like?

I’m having surgery and other ramblings
(Disclosure: Womanly things discussed. Read at your own will).
Let me start off by stating that I haven’t slept all night. Will decided that he didn’t want to sleep, and somebody had to get up with him. So I’m tired and crabby from that alone.
Will’s 2nd birthday party is tomorrow, so I am stressed about that. My family is coming in today (need to finish cleaning).
And the surgery. If you don’t know what’s going on, read here and here. Basically, if you can believe this, my period has gotten worse on the estrogen I’ve been taking for 2 weeks now. Worse. Right now, if I could curl into a ball — I would. That’s how bad my cramps are. And this is on birth control. Can you imagine how much worse this would be if I wasn’t? So I sit here and feel sorry for myself which I sooooo know I shouldn’t be doing. There are so many people out there who have it way worse than we do — it’s just lack of sleep, the cramps, the freaking emotional roller coaster all these freaking hormones have me on — I just want this over. I want this surgery (which is scheduled for June 24th) to be over. Yes 2 weeks away. So I’ll have this period that started May 4th until at least then.
My fears? What are they going to find? From what I’ve read, this could be as simple as a fibroid or a polyp. Or not. I have a lot of cancer in my family. Like pretty much every kind that there is out there. My aunt died one year ago today from lung cancer (she also had bone (I think) and breast), so that weighs on my mind. Another aunt died of ovarian. Though noone has said it to me yet, I have warned Bill about losing the girly parts. Because this could turn out to be nothing, but this could turn out to be bad. Very bad. My next fear is that they find nothing. Then I just spent several thousand dollars to find out nothing. And then what? Am I going to be told to deal with it?
Those are my thoughts on a Friday morning when I am suppose to be cleaning. 
Added: You know you are having a bad day when you notice on your Twitter feed that people are recommending for #followfriday, and it makes you all teary eyed. Thanks again!
