Update

The wedding is over! Everything went off without a hitch and it was simply perfect. Not one thing went wrong, at least that we know of. I haven't watched the videos yet, so that may show a flaw or two, but the fact is, no one noticed. It was such a sweet ceremony and really reflected who the two of them are. All the decorations were beautiful, the bride was exquisite and the groom was handsome.

My grandmother got the results from the pathologist and it was in fact cancer. It hadn't reached the lymph nodes that they removed, so that is a plus. The Drs. do want her to do a round of radiation and take the chemo pill for the next 5 years. My grandmother isn't sure she wants to do that, which, while i understand, kinda makes me realize that she realizes that she's old and doesn't want to live her remaining years sick from all that. It's ultimately her decision, and i would support her in any decision, but i don't want her to give up.

Little Man's ankle is healed... or so we think. He got sand in his cast a week after he got the cast on, so i had to take him back to get it changed. While there, the Dr. had LM walk on his ankle and she was very impressed that he could do so. So she put him in a boot, instead of another cast and said that he had to wear it until this past weekend and then, if he could jump on his ankle 20 times without pain, he was fully released to go back to football, running, etc. Well, he's able to do that so went to football practice yesterday and hurt it. It's not bad, don't think it's broke, or even sprained but it's sore for him to walk on. He was limping last night, so we will see how he's doing today after school. Guess that will determine his week of practicing!

Princess is doing wonderful. She has been very helpful this last few weeks with so much of my time being taken up with the wedding decor preparations and all that. Just last night, she did 4 loads of laundry without me having to ask. She's loving her new school and i just couldn't be happier for her. She's signed up for cross country and cheerleading. She's going to go out for student council and she's very excited about being in the Health program.

Then there is Diva Tot. She's hit the terrible 2's. She's not terrible yet... more like the threatening 2's... but i know the terrible is coming!! She woke up in the middle of the night 2 nights ago, so put her in my bed. I closed the door so that if she were to climb out of bed, she wouldn't be able to get near the stairs, and that made it very dark in my bedroom. She started screaming "turn the dark off! turn the dark off!". she comes up with some of the wildest things now that she is talking so much. i love it. i just can't remember to keep it all recorded!

As for me... i am anxious to get some work done on my house. It needs to be painted, and the landscaping trimmed and cut out and mulched. Need to get the carpet replaced. It's 10 years old now and time for an overhaul, i think. it's going to be hard to committ to doing some of it because of Diva Tot, but i guess we just put a paint brush in her hand, too!
