I went in for my appointment to the University of Michigan on the 20th (K and when I made the appointment is was to get the surgery going and all, because the last time I talked to the Dr he said that the tumor would need to be removed) So I met with these 3 Dr's and we talked and they had told me that the surgery wouldn't make my life any better {at this time}, but could certainly make things a lot worse - they didn't want to go up there poking around and that I've prolly had this thing in my brain for the last 20 some years (WHAT??????). Well needless to say I was quite dumbfounded - I was sooooo hoping that when I had the tumor removed that it would make my quality of life better, well they didn't think it would (I think that I should have been the judge of that)! It just makes me wonder why all the sudden they don't want to take it out (as we had previously discussed}.....I guess I need to call and speak to them (because of course I didn't think to ask when I was there). So for now, I'm just living with it and will have to go in for another MRI in the next year and then go back to them with the films.
K- now that I got the boring stuff out of the way.......... WAKE UP LOL! I have some exciting news. Sean had his first day of preschool today, we were both so very excited. He was excited about doing all the fun stuff at school and going out to the playground - I was excited about him getting out into the social world and maybe meeting some new friends, learning new things, bringing me home those cute little projects to hang on the fridge.....plus I LOVE doing up those lil goodie bags for the holidays ;) We had to go in early to hand in some paper work and just hung out in the hallway for a bit (I think this helped my nerves for our parting). I know the day I took him in and signed him up, we went into his class and while talking to his teacher I started to get all teary eyed and thought that the first day of school would be so hard. Well Sean and I talked about the first day of school and I had asked him what I was going to do all day while he was gone - I told him that I would miss him and he told me that he would put kisses in my pockets just in case (I give him kisses to put in his pockets when he goes to my moms - in case he misses me). So we went into class, got his name tag and then I had asked him if he was going to be okay......and he said yes (in a very confident voice) and walked away with the teacher. I started to get a lil sappy at that point but thought oh no buddy, you're not walking away from me without a kiss LOL, so I walked over to him, told him that I loved him, gave him a kiss and walked out the door (he forgot to fill my pockets with kisses - lil stinker). But he had a really good first day at school. He made a friend - a GIRL friend, her name is Jolie and he told her that she could not kiss him (LOL - I told him that it was okay to have girl friends, but they just couldn't kiss him, only mommy could).
I found an awesome lil shoppe today for kids clothes www.Crazy8.com (they are yet another division of Gymboree.....not as if Gymboree and Janie and Jack weren't enough). They have some really cute things....that we just had to have! Isn't this sweater just the cutest?
and we got these:
and this......how cute!!
If you're looking for some really cute ornaments for your tree or for family or even clients, you have to check out www.littlewhimsy.com I got some of these during one of Cariann's Group Buys on ILP and they are soooo awesome. Here are some photos that she took of my tiles (and really they are way better in person)
I did use Jessica D's vintage frame for this and the background is one of my creations - but I love the way they turned out. I just redid my family room in black and cream (I will have to post some photos once I get it all pulled together) and plan on hanging these on my tree. I also had some done with the girls photos and one for A's boyfriends mom - I got a photo of her kissing Taylor on the cheek when we did the homecoming photos and had that photo put on one for her for Christmas.
I also have a few photos to share.......bout time I put the new camera to use hu ;)
Well, I hope that I didn't bore you to much ;) I know I'm tired now LOL (seriously - it's been such a long day) I'm headed off to bed~ Night!!
