because, well -
its just been that kind of week.
Last Sunday Shaun got a call from his dad with some very
unexpected news.
Without going into detail right now,
it wasn't good news.
My father-in-law is pretty sick and
hopefully
we'll get more news on the situation
in the weeks to come.
But in the meantime,
please,
keep him and Shaun in your thoughts.
Its been a really rough week for Shaun,
especially being so far away from his Dad
right now.
Four days after we received the news about my FIL,
I went to the doctor for a routine
followup on some tests I had done
from being sick last month.
On a whim, the doctor decided to do a
breast exam ...
and found a lump
in my left breast.
I'm waiting for the referral to go
get some additional tests and an
ultrasound of my boober
done.
And while I'm sure that its
nothing,
my brain hasn't been able but to help going
to that place where it could possibly be
something.
We went out Thursday night
because hell,
if there is any reason to celebrate NOT
having to cook dinner,
and gorging on ice cream -
finding a bump in your boob is
definitely one of them.
My first thought, when she said it -
was Sully.
And not just because he was in the exam
room with me chanting
"Checking Mommy's Boobies" -
hey I said the checkup was on a whim -
but because I'll be damned if
I waited this long to get my
hands on this kid finally,
to end up going anywhere.
I'm not.
End of story.
My wonderful husband has
been amazing, as always -
and let me cry the first night.
Then he slapped my ass and told me
to get my head back into the game.
Done and done.
We found out awhile ago that Shaun would be
losing his job in November.
He was actually suppose to lose it in July,
but he was extremely fortunate to be
offered a contract extension until November.
Five weeks.
And its going by fast.
He's had a couple interviews this past week
and will be going in for a second interview
for one of the jobs.
So cross your fingers and wish him luck.
Or Santa's going to be riding the bus
to our house this year and leasing out
that sled.
They say life is what happens when
you're busy making other plans.
How true that is.
Despite everything that is going on,
we've chosen to look at all of the
positives,
and laugh about the
shit that sucks.
Because thats just how we roll.
And even when you have a
gimpy fin -
just keep swimming ...
