out with my husband alone 4 i need to get a brain of some sort 5 i walk with a hunch crunch snaps crackles pops 6 love health happiness are is the true elixir of life 7 and as for the weekend tonight i m looking forward to working tomorrow my plans include swim lessons and amazing jakes and sunday i want to go to alex s bday party posted by andrea at 9 17 am no comments sunday october 4 2009 39 observations not my list but many of mine are on here 1 nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you re wrong 2 have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going but instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk 3 i totally take back all those times i didn t want to nap when i was younger 4 there is a great need for a sarcasm font 5 i think everyone has a movie that they love so much it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people i ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone s laughing at the right parts then making sure i laugh just a little bit harder and a millisecond earlier to prove that i m still the only one who really really gets it 6 how the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet 7 i would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in 8 i think part of a best friend s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die 9 the only time i look forward to a red light is when i m trying to finish a text 10 was learning cursive really necessary 11 lol has gone from meaning laugh out loud to i have nothing else to say 12 whenever someone says i m not book smart but i m street smart all i hear is i m not real smart but i m imaginary smart 13 how many times is it appropriate to say what before you just nod and smile because you still didn t hear what they said 14 i love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front stay strong brothers and sisters 15 while driving yesterday i saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it thanks mario kart 16 mapquest really needs to start their directions on 5 pretty sure i know how to get out of my neighborhood 17 obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died 18 i find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and then turn on the water 19 shirts get dirty underwear gets dirty pants pants never get dirty and you can wear them forever 20 i can t remember the last time i wasn t at least kind of tired 21 bad decisions make good stories 22 why is it that during an ice breaker when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from i get so incredibly nervous like i know my name i know where i m from this shouldn t be a problem 23 you never know when it will strike but there comes a moment at work when you ve made up your mind that you just aren t doing anything productive for the rest of the day 25 can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after dvds i don t want to have to restart my collection 26 there s no worse feeling than that millisecond you re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far 27 i m always slightly terrified when i exit out of word and it asks me if i want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that i swear i did not make any changes to 28 while watching the olympics i find myself cheering equally for china and usa no i am not of chinese descent but i am fairly certain that when chinese athletes don t win they are executed 29 i hate when i just miss a call by the last ring hello hello darn it but when i immediately call back it rings nine times and goes to voicemail what d you do after i didn t answer drop the phone and run away 30 i hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day what a waste 31 i like all of the music in my itunes except when it s on shuffle then i like about one in every fifteen songs in my itunes 32 sometimes i ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is 33 it should probably be called unplanned parenthood 34 i keep some people s phone numbers in my phone just so i know not to answer when they call 35 even if i knew your social security number i wouldn t know what do to with it 36 even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket finding their cell phone and pinning the tail on the donkey but i d bet my ass everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away in about 1 7 seconds eyes closed first time every time 37 my 4 year old son asked me in the car the other day dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja how the heck do i respond to that 38 i wonder if cops ever get hacked off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit 39 i think the freezer deserves a light as well posted by andrea at 3 53 pm no comments sunday september 20 2009 friday fill in 1 my car is the car of my dreams 2 my favorite seasons are is coming up next 3 lately things seem busier than ever and i can t figure out why 4 the bathroom with the shower on sitting on the floor reading a book is one of my favorite hiding places 5 what happened to manners 6 being happy is not impossible i know i am been so absent lately i have been working every second i can the holidays are coming and i want to try to make it a nice one if i can josh has been doing well in school though i am not overly thrilled with things right now it is no ones fault so i hope i am not sounding harsh his teacher had open heart surgery and has been out for quite some time bless her i hope she is recovering well i have been there sort of but i am not sure i am crazy about her replacement maybe the real problem i have is the she is irreplaceable i mean i am not even sure who josh s teacher is right now i am thankful misty is still in the room so there is at least some normalcy to josh s day but he keeps saying karen not there he is bothered by her absence i try to get him excited about school and he just does not want to go not that this had anything to do with it by my dear neighbor z enrolled her son into the odyssey preparatory academy and i checked it out i am so excited both my boys will be going there i do not care what i have to do as of now their preschool is not open but as soon as it is i am enrolling josh both boys started swim lessons jake cries through most of his and josh loves miss megan and he is doing well the wallaby is back on track and we hope to be up and running before the year is out we went to vegas about a month ago and had a blast it was mom uncle jerry aunt therese lisa randy me charlie the kids we had so much fun and even got to see bern the boys we are going back in december love to all posted by andrea at 12 02 am no comments thursday september 17 2009 from a dear friend one flaw in women women have strengths that amaze men they bear hardships and they carry burdens but they hold happiness love and joy they smile when they want to scream they sing when they want to cry they cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous they fight for what they believe in they stand up to injustice they don t take no for an answer when they believe there is a better solution they go without so their family can have they go to the doctor with a frightened friend they love unconditionally they cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards they are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding their hearts break when a friend dies they grieve at the loss of a family member yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left they know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart women come in all shapes sizes and colors they ll drive fly walk run or e mail you to show how much they care about you the heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning they bring joy hope and love they have compassion and ideas they give moral support to their family and friends women have vital things to say and everything to give however if there is one flaw in women it is that they forget their worth posted by andrea at 9 24 am no comments friday august 7 2009 friday fill in 1 rain is my favorite summertime smell 2 my favorite john hughes movies is all of them he was my fave r i p 3 my children are is something i love to touch 4 the full moon is mysterious 5 my children are whining right now 6 when daylight fades it becomes twilight it is my favorite time of the day especially on fridays josh started school this week his teacher was so happy to see him and he was happy to see her i love that she gives hugs i absolutely hate that some teachers and some schools think hugging is inappropriate it means so much and there are some children who absolutely need hugs it may be the only hug they get in a day chelsea used to love to hug her teachers and then i think it was like 2nd grade there was a teacher who did not hug so i had to explain to her that it was not that she didn t like her it was just that she didn t hug it was very difficult for chelsea to understand and i think it probably hurt her feelings a bit so things around here have been a bit difficult josh isn t napping because of school and jake just isn t napping evenings around here have been so nice ugh 8pm cannot come fast enough this week ok i hear my children getting into something so i need to investigate ugh i wanted to write more but you know my kids 5 minutes and they can take down a town posted by andrea at 4 30 pm no comments thursday july 30 2009 how lucky am i work in progress how lucky am i i am brca 2 positive which i likely got from my mother the mother who raised me loved me unconditionally is always proud of me bites her tongue for my benefit guides me supports me and showed me scars and no breasts can be beautiful she showed me how to face cancer how to fight cancer how to live as a cancer survivor how lucky am i my mother is likely brca 2 positive from her mother my granny a woman who fought cancer in a time where no one talked about it her mastectomy scarred her to the bone concaved her chest radiation that burned her flesh and no chance of reconstruction she taught my mother how to love how to be kind how to embrace scars no breasts burn marks fear pain and death with dignity and love granny taught me how to love unconditionally as she loved me unconditionally and was the kindest person i ever met how lucky am i my granny was likely brca 2 positive from her mother grandma fox a beautiful kind and very gentle woman whom i inherited my body type from she was a progressive thinker yet traditional and had a very heavy russian accent she made her way through this country with that accent and i feel lucky to be her descendant how lucky am i i have a sister that is brca 2 positive she has been here with me through my surgeries and chemotherapy she has seen me lose both breasts and go through a hysterectomy she is facing a very difficult decision on how she will need to voluntarily and without a disease yet to deform her body in order to live a longer life and bless us all with her presence for many many many years to come how lucky am i i was able to get pregnant 3 times one natural daughter one ivf son and one surprise son my cancer receptors were both positive for estrogen and progesterone maybe taking all of those hormones to get pregnant helped the cancer form but i have 3 beautiful children how lucky am i i have a husband that i warned before we got married that i would likely get cancer he married me anyway he looks past my scars he shaved my head for me he has supported me and has never once made me feel anything but beautiful and important scars tubes hot flashes moodiness and the ongoing daily issues i endure he has dealt with it all and still stays put how lucky am i i had a mother in law that dropped everything in her life for me again when she wasn t here she called daily without missing a day just to see if i was okay she laughed with me cried with me feared with me concerned with me how lucky am i i had family members walking in my honor sending cards and letters of encouragement calling and thinking of me daily i will forever love them for the ongoing support and love sent from so far away and from so many different places how lucky am i i had friends and neighbors helping with everything from food to errands calls cards gifts flowers handmade blankets and pillowcases and unwavering love i found out who and what real friends are how lucky am i i got cancer i am brca 2 positive and i wouldn t change anything i have had the most incredible women in my life show me how to
