I didn't know Susan personally, but her raw, honest and even humorous account of her life battling cancer made me feel like she was sitting in my living room telling me her story. Susan passed away yesterday after 5 years battling Inflammatory Breast Cancer. My heart goes out to her husband and 2 young sons. If nothing else, she brought awareness about IBC and breast cancer in general to many many people. Susan's plea in 2007 was this - "Inflammatory breast cancer is detected by women and their doctors who notice a change in one of their breasts. If you notice a change, call your doctor today. Tell her about it. Tell her that you have a friend with this disease, and it’s trying to kill her. Now you know what I wish I had known before six weeks ago. You don’t have to have a lump to have breast cancer." Today, that has even more meaning. Check your breasts regularly my friends, Please.

I am a Cub Scout den leader for my son's den. Our Blue and Gold Awards dinner is just around the corner and the theme is Celebrating our Armed Forces. We have to decorate our den table according to the theme and there is a contest too. I've wracked my pea brain for affordable ideas and haven't been able to come up with anything. I'm trying to avoid spending a ton of money because ultimately, *I* will end up buying most everything for this.
So Poor Skillers, HELP?!?

Happy New Year to all of you! I'll be celebrating the same way that I did last year - working. Which is to say that I won't be celebrating. Instead I'll be dispensing alcoholic beverages to the new years partiers. Have one for me, willya? And please don't drink and drive.
My 2008 recap is this - it sucked. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out 2008.
Here's to a much better new year. A fresh start in 2009 for all of us!
Now send 5 friends to watch this video or repost it on your blog. I don’t care who you’re voting for, just that you VOTE on Tuesday. Make your voice heard.
I’m just so angry. I wanted to tell all of you what a great week that we had last week at Day Camp, but my ex-husband ruined that for me. In February, we agreed to a temporary reduction in child support because his income had went down. This was of course informal and just a verbal agreement. He was fairly regular about being on time, until this month. His wife told me that he would pay on 7/18. Well Friday came and went, and when he dropped Four off this week, I asked her where the check was and she told me to ask him. So I asked him and he was like ask the wife. I told him that I already did and she said to talk to him. He was like I’ll have to go back to the house to get it. Of course, I never hear from him. So I went over there to pick it up from her this morning and she was like I told him that he’d needed to talk to you about it. Of course with no more details. I just looked at her and was like so I’m not getting child support this month. That was Four’s birthday money. Which it was - I planned on that to spend on his party and a gift for him. I text messaged him and as usual, he’s not answering.
They are supposed to take Ten, Six and Four on vacation next week. I feel like if he can’t afford child support, they shouldn’t be able to go on vacation with him. I’m sorry, its just the way I feel. Its not fair to them to punish them because of hiim, but WTF!
Sorry that this is all mushed together and run on like, but damn. And I still don’t feel any better. I’m off to cry and try to plan a different party for Four now. And I have no idea what to do.
I am off for the next 5 days for Cub Scout Day Camp. Six is participating this year, and since he is only a Tiger Cub, I have to be there anyways, so I volunteered to help out this week. I am his group's Den Leader, which shows you the level of my insanity. Did I mention that it's 100 degrees out? Yeah, I thought the SAME thing. I'm stoooopid!
Ten was supposed to help out, but when I got in from work this morning, he had woken up and said that he wasn't feeling good and his throat really hurt. I could look a him and tell that he had a fever. I took his temp, and yep - 103.8. So this morning I dropped him at Local Sister's house and she said that she'd take him to the doctor's office for me. I figured it was a case of strep, my boys seem to be prone to it at very inopportune times. Apparently, the strep test was negative, and the doc said that he has Mono. SHIT, SHIT, SHIT! I never had mono as a kid, so I have no idea what to do with him! I know that it can last for a long time, the weakness and being tired. Ugh, school starts soon, August 7th, I'm hoping that he will be better by then. Since I didn't get to take him to the office though, I have a call into the doctor that saw him. I am actually requesting that Ten have some blood work done to confirm that this is Mono and not anything else. But I think that its too late and I'll have to get ahold of someone tomorrow. Poor kid!
