My therepy
So I need some therapy, shoot me....
Life has been so full of randomness lately, I don't know where to begin...
-My dear cousin Cyndee passed away a couple of weekends ago. She had lung
cancer. Cyndee was 40 something (young), she never married but did adopt a
baby. That baby, Shelby is now 11, and very sad about the loss of her mom,
of course. Cyndee died the Saturday after Valentines day. Cyndee's goal was
to live for V-day so she could do something special for Shelby. Cyndee's
friend was taking Shelby to school during those days because Cyndee was so
ill, Hospice was already coming to the house daily, so, on Valentines day,
the friend told Shelby her car was not working but someone would pick them
up to get her to school ASAP. Shelby looks out the window to find a white
stretch limo outside, and inside was her dear mother, Cyndee, who took off
the oxygen and tubes long enough to take her daughter out to eat pancakes at
the Original House of Pancakes for breakfast before school. This was her
Valentine gift to Shelby. That afternoon Cyndee was moved into a Hospice
house and Cyndee died two days later. At 11 years old, Shelby cannot fathom
what a sacrifice it was for her mother to literally suffocate for hours so
that she could create a special memory that Shelby will always treasure. She
truly was living up until the end. What a beautiful picture of a wonderful
person, that will be missed by all! RIP Cyndee!
- I quit smoking. I have been a closet smoker for the past 3+ years. But I
have smoked off and on for 10+ years. I realized when I saw the sadness in
Shelby's eyes, that I could not do that to my boys, so I have thrown away
the smokes for good. I am using Nicorette gum and I have been 100%
successful, with no cheating, or cravings. I do not plan on turning back.
This is so much easier now that I have a reason to fight the addiction of
nicotine. You all may remember me telling of a friend of mine that also has
lung cancer, she is 20 something, all the more reason for me to stop killing
myself.
- Carson moved up to the "toddler" class at daycare. And of course, as my
luck would have it, the week that he moves up, so do their rates. We are now
paying more for the toddler class than I was for him in the infant/newborn
class. Thanks folks, really appreciate that, I should have bent over to make
that one easier!
- My female problem is all but a memory, but I do have a lingering question
about next month's cycle. If it is bad, they may remove the IUD....will I
try or try not to get pregnant.....THAT IS THE QUESTION
So many other things of randomness, but I have a ton of work to do and my
sanity break is now over. Until next time!

Oh my gosh, that was a beautiful gift for her to give her daughter. What a wonderful memory she will have of her mother to cherish.
Congrats on tossing out the cigs...I know it's hard.
Daycare sucks...bunch of blood suckers
Hope your day gets better...holla if you need any of your fellow bloggers to vent to!
I am so sorry to hear about your cousin - that's just terrible. But what a wonderful gift she gave her daughter...I'm sure as Shelby gets older she will come to appreciate that selfless act more and more. I will pray for your family and your cousins daughter.
Horray for kicking the habit! It is really difficult - I had it a little easier because I quit when I found out I was prego...it gave me more incentive to stay quit...maybe you should get pregnant to seal the "no smoking" deal!! ;0)
What a beautiful story.
Yay for quitting smoking!
