OK… so I keep telling myself I want to blog more. BUT… its been a month since my last post. How does this happen?? I really want to be one of those cool Mom bloggers! Bahahah! I literally just laughed out loud. Who am I kidding! 😂 That will never happen… yes I am a Mom but will never be a “cool mom blogger” LOL! I will try and blog a little more often though! I really do love it!!
SO… we have a situation on our hands. INFLUENZA ATTACK! Kim… close your eyes and repeat “cancel cancel cancel”. LOL… my poor Andi was diagnosed with Flu AND strep on Monday night. It is going around her school and locally like rapid fire!! Jamie, myself and Zacky are all taking Tamiflu as a precaution and crossing our fingers we don’t get it. Moms.. sanitize sanitize and sanitize!!! It is definitely making its way around. My bestie from Maine said one of their schools SHUT DOWN per CDC because of an outbreak. Yikes!! Get your flu shot if you haven’t (It is still available). Also… it has been a very long time since I had a flu swab and quickly remembered how HORRIFIC it is. OH MAH GOD! I swear that swab went through my nostril and straight to my brain. It is the most uncomfortable feeling in the world. And Andi… oh my Andi.. she just frowned and tears started rolling down her eyes. She is seriously 10 times braver then I will ever be and so tough! I literally wanted to ball my eyes out watching her try to be strong. And then there was Zacky…. FREAKING OUT FRANTICALLY before the swab got 5 feet near his nostril LOL! Poor buddy.. I just hugged him tight and we got through it. Oh man… quite the experience for everyone. While we were waiting for our prescriptions Mama went through the McDonalds drive thru! One would think this would be super exciting for children right??? Ummmm NO… Andi refused to eat anything in her happy meal except for the apples and Zacky only ate his French fries and a nibble of his chicken… I’m like GUYS… they are HAPPY meals …we are suppose to be HAPPY and eat ALL of our food!!!! I yi yi.. kids these days!!
Andi is doing great though and barely looks sick!! She had that one rough afternoon on Monday before going to urgent care and that was about it! Thankful for that.
As of right now I am taking a daily pill called Arimidex and following up with my team every 6 months or so! That is IT! I can’t tell you how good it feels to finally feel “done”. Even when treatment was over I still had several major surgeries and I never quite felt finished. I truly can say I finally feel like its over! Every day that goes by I feel like I gain a little more of myself. They say all this crap like its a new beginning… or you will find your “new you”. Screw that! I want the OLD me! not this new-old-me.. or whatever crap! lol. And I truly think its possible. Of course I look at things a little different but I don’t think its impossible to feel like my old self again. And I really think im getting super close! (a great feeling). For anyone going through something similar. ..just give yourself time. Eventually you will wake up and be like Hey… I am almost there. OR getting close!
Enough serious talk lol….
I need to steam my scrubs and head to work soon! (Does anyone else hate wrinkles and steam their clothes??) I think I got this from my Mom… lol she also loves her steamer!
Goodbye, goodnight, adios amigos!
KPOW 😘
(I will write soon)…. maybe!
