How Quirky Are You?

blessed..

first i just wanted to say thank you to all of you who left me
comments and sent emails/posted on the mb. it really
meant a lot to have the support of all of you..knowing
that i was not the only one praying for my mom. it really
did make a difference :)

friday she had her surgery..it lasted about 4 hours; they
removed the tumor, her ovaries, uterus and her appendix.
the dr has sent out samples of the tumor to find out exactly
what type of cancer it was--the masses on her ovaries were ovarian
cancer, but the tumor was something different.
anyways...she is in extremely good spirits :) and has been
up and walking around since saturday afternoon!
and i'm happy to report that i have found a way
to get down there and see her and neither of us can wait!!

i also wanted to send out my condolences to jen gallacher and
family. i'm so so sorry for the loss of sweet joey. hes been on
my mind so much the last few weeks. i pray that he went in
peace.

xoxo

boredom..

i've got some shizz to blog about later..

today

my mom called with not so good news. the dr. confirmed that she

does indeed have ovarian cancer. they found a large tumor..and said

that her ovaries are covered in masses. a hysterectomy will have to

be done, followed up by chemo/radiation. i'm just at a loss.

i didnt know what to say to her. shes my mom. shes supposed

to be invinciable. i mean, i know, thats not true. but come on.

shes only 48. i'm not ready to lose her. i can't remember the last

time i hugged her. or smelled her hair. i just wish i could

be there with her...hold her. cry in her arms. have her cry in mine.

but instead, we are crying on the phone. i just feel so..helpless.

i dont know how to comfort her when i am so afraid of what will

happen.

so please, keep her in your thoughts/prayers.

i've been in this weird funk the last few days. i dont know if its

that i knew that bad news was coming or what. i mean, i just

feel off. i even went to the sb expo this weekend..and while i did

get some screamin deals--i just didnt feel like, in the mood. it

was weird. and, not only did i get good deals, but appearantly,

i made it pretty far in a contest i entered. last i heard i made it

to the top 10 for the best of show. but um..yeah. no one seems

to know who won or who was even in charge of deciding who won etc.

so yep. thats fancy schmancy.

anyways, i hope to be in a better mood in a few days :(

here is a layout i did the other day with the scrapologie kit. i know

the pic sucks..but yeah. oh well lol.

did this lo the other day with the march scrapologie kit. and i just have to say that i'm soooo not diggin my scanned lo's. they just plain ass suck. i think i will have to start taking pics of them. which is really just crappy bc i can't take a straight pic to save my life. even with a tripod. yes i'm that retarded.

que hora es?

those were the words muttered from my very sloshed husband last night

as he was being carried into our house by a family member. it was so funny..he just kept saying it over and over..hehe. should've taken pics

of it..but i guess that was the last thing on my mind ;)

so yesterday was easter, did the usual hunt/egg fight..then after dinner

some of us stayed behind to play cards...and whomever lost that hand

had to take a shot of tequila--so hence the husband sitch. thank god

we only live 2 houses away and can walk home! lol i think art was in a

celebratory mood bc saturday was his last official day(night) of being

on the night shift!! wahoo! he is definitely happy for that ..but also

bc wednesday marks the last day of working for that company..and he

is very excited to be starting with a new company next week. things around here are going to be so much better having him on a normal

schedule. the girls and i can hardly wait!

oh, and did i mention that olivia absolutely, flat out refused to join

in the egg hunt/fight? so unusual for her. and i kept asking her why as

she cried into my side...and her response "i just dont want to be happy!!"

oh geez i thought. and i said fine. then dont be happy and we can just

watch everyone else having a great time. about 15minutes later she

was back to regularly scheduled programming..so we were happy for that, needless to say. lol here are a few pics of that glorious moment::

and yes..those are my 'girls' and my belly you see next to my unhappy

girl. blech. anyways..i dont know if other families do this..but that confetti you see in her hair is from the egg fight she refused to be part of.

what we do is carefully extract the yolk from the egg, then clean them out..about a week before easter we fill the eggs with confetti and flour..and after the hunt we attach each other with them. it really is great

messy fun :)

i got my april scrapologie kit on saturday and have cranked out

a few lo's that maybe i'll share tomorrow..and i just got the may mid month kit from crop addict..and its so cute. can't wait to get to work on

that this week. or maybe i'll save it for the expo on friday.

i think this is my longest post ever! geesh.
