Well, here goes my very overdue update.
Finally went to the doc's on Wednesday. Turns out the lump on my shoulder is just fatty tissue trapped in a membrane of sorts. Yay, just what I wanted to hear, I have fat(notice sarcasm). The doc also had blood drawn for a diabetes test, and to check my cholestorol. I am officially diagnosed as having a sun allergy. Doc said it wasn't a sunburn but a true allergic reaction and that I need to wear long sleeves and big hats when out for long periods of time. Yay!!!!!
My mom came up on Thursday evening and stayed through Saturday. We went and got the lumber to build the closets in the master bedroom (well my mom bought it as a present for my hubby's bday next week) and then on Saturday before she left she took me to pick out a rug for my living room to go on the hardwood. She got it for half price. I told her she didn't need to and that she didn't have to but she said she wanted to. So in the interest of not arguing with my mom I let her. It is a beautiful rug and knowing what she paid for it, my children are no longer allowed in my living room with drinks, food or their shoes on (but then again I normally make them take their shoes off upon entering the house any way). She left Saturday evening.
I managed to can about 70lbs of tomatoes. I am planning on canning spaghetti sauce this week, making zuccinni bread, and pickling my first batch of cucumbers. After this is all said and done I don't ever want to see another tomato. Considering what I canned is equal to what I gave away this past week as well. Matter of fact, my tomatoes were served at the local diner this week, she had run out and my daughters happened to take her a large bag of them. She paid them each with a pop.
Today hubby and I built the first of 2 closets going to be built in our room. One will be on either side of the bed. We are not putting traditional doors on them but instead heavy purple curtains. Ophelia wasn't happy that we were taking her perch away though, we threw away the old portable storage closet that she liked sleeping on.
One more week of daycare and then I am on vacation. It only affects one of my parents, as the other parent's children will be at their father's for the week. I really can't wait. Gonna go visit some friends and just relax. Maybe attempt to swim with out burning myself (the inlaws have a pool so I will swim at night lol). I am going to try and update more often.
