WARNING GRAPHIC POST
WEAK STOMACHS MOVE ON !!!
The great thing about a blog is I can post
what I want too. So crazy anonymous
comment leavers beware, this is MY BLOG
IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU SEE
MOVE ON, NO ONE MADE YOU VISIT
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Ok, so you may be wondering
what this picture is all about.
Well these are pictures of uterine fibroids.
I have been tormented by one for over a year
now. I was not even told I had one the
size of a BASEBALL in my grumpy ol' uterus
until last week.
You may ask how is that ???? Well I have my
annual exam like clock work, never miss it.
I have had the same OB/GYN for the last
10 years. He didn't mention it nor screen
for it in all the times in the last 18 months
that I have been in his office complaining
of excessive bleeding, horrible pain, and so on.
So all you ladies out there who have a history
of GYN problems listen up... DO NOT
LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU ????
If you have any of the following insist that
your GYN find out what is going on. I may
now face a hysterectomy because of the delay
in diagnosing:
1. PELVIC PAIN THAT WON'T GO AWAY
2. HEAVY-PAINFUL PERIODS
3. SPOTTING/BLEDDING BETWEEN PERIODS
4. PAIN W/INTERCOURSE
5. DIFFICULTY EMPTYING YOUR BLADDER
6. DIFFICULTY MOVING YOUR BOWELS
Tricky stuff to talk to anyone about,
but it may just save you a heck of a
lot of trouble.
Do not take "it's normal" for an answer. I did
because of my complicated GYN history.
I have PCOS which comes with it's own
set of problems. IT IS NOT NORMAL !!!
DID YOU KNOW THESE THINGS
ARE TREATABLE !!!!!
They may grow back
but there are many options when they are
small, but not so many options when they
get bigger.
Ok, onto good news. I have a new OB/GYN.
I'll let you know what he has to say after my
visit with him next week.
By the way, he saved my aunts life a few
months back. He didn't spout off
"it's normal" when she casually mentioned
some breast discomfort. He sent
her for a mamogram, she's only 2 years older
than me. She now is fighting furiously.
She has a very agressive form of breast
cancer and the kicker is her only symptom
was a sore boob which she thought
was from working out.
Never be afraid to question your doctor
or insist on more info or tests. It's your
right and you pay out the ear to see
them anyways.
RANT OVER, FEEL BETTER ...
Time to catch up on life, I missed
alot in the last 10 days.

This was sent to me in a


email and I just loved it.


Thought I'd share...
BEWARE...novel length post today!!!



MOTHERS


Real Mothers don't eat quiche;


They don't have time to make it.


Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils


Are probably in the sandbox.


Real Mothers often have sticky floors


Filthy ovens and happy kids.


Real Mothers know that dried play dough


Doesn't come out of carpets.


Real Mothers don't want to know what


The vacuum just sucked up.


Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'


And get their answer when a little


Voice says, 'Because I love you best.'


Real Mothers know that a child's growth


Is not measured by height or years or grade...


It is marked by the progression of


Mommy to Mom to Mother...


The Images of Mother


4 YEARS OF AGE -


My Mommy can do anything!


8 YEARS OF AGE -


My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!


12 YEARS OF AGE -


My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.


14 YEARS OF AGE -


Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.


16 YEARS OF AGE -


Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.


18 YEARS OF AGE -


That old woman? She's way out of date!


25 YEARS OF AGE -


Well, she might know a little bit about it!


35 YEARS OF AGE -


Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.


45 YEARS OF AGE -


Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?


65 YEARS OF AGE -


Wish I could talk it over with Mom.



The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes


she wears, the figure she carries,


or the way she combs her hair..


The beauty of a woman must


be seen from in her eyes,


Because that is the doorway to her heart,


The place where love resides.


The beauty of a woman


is not in a facial mole,


But true beauty in a woman is


reflected in her soul.


It is the caring that she lovingly gives,


the passion that she


shows, and the beauty of a


woman with passing years only grows!
Then I go and do my visiting teaching
this week and am blown away
by the message.
I feel as if it was written just for me.
Here are my favorite parts:
President Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985): “Home is a haven against the storms and struggles of life. Spirituality is born and nurtured by daily prayer, scripture study, home gospel discussions and related activities, home evenings, family councils, working and playing together, serving each other, and sharing the gospel with those around us. Spirituality is also nurtured in our actions of patience, kindness, and forgiveness toward each other and in our applying gospel principles in the family circle” (“Therefore I Was Taught,” Tambuli, Aug. 1982, 2; Ensign, Jan. 1982, 3).
Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: “I call upon members of the Church and on committed parents, grandparents, and extended family members everywhere to hold fast to [the family] proclamation, to make it a banner not unlike General Moroni’s ‘title of liberty,’ and to commit ourselves to live by its precepts. …
“In today’s world, where Satan’s aggression against the family is so prevalent, parents must do all they can to fortify and defend their families. But their efforts may not be enough. Our most basic institution of family desperately needs help and support from the extended family and the public institutions that surround us” (“What Matters Most Is What Lasts Longest,” Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2005, 42–43).
Elder Robert S. Wood of the Seventy: “For too many, responsibility seems to end with hand-wringing and exclamations of dismay. Yet talk without action accomplishes little. We need to be vigorously engaged in the world. If our schools are inadequate or destructive of moral values, we must work with fellow members of the community to bring about change. If our neighborhoods are unsafe or unhealthy, we must join with the civic-minded to devise solutions. If our cities and towns are polluted, not only with noxious gases but soul-destroying addictions and smut, we must labor to find legitimate ways to eliminate such filth. … We have the responsibility to be a blessing to others, to our nation, to the world” (“On the Responsible Self,” Ensign, Mar. 2002, 30–31).

Ok, most of you know that I provide
in home child care. Well after much
discussion and thought I've decided
to add a preschool a few days a week.
I was already preschooling my kiddos
with worksheets, story time, crafts and
a few other fun activities.
There seems to be such a need here and if
your child doesn't have a delay, or if you
don't meet the income restrictions for
Head Start or if you don't know someone
who can get you into the School District
Preschool, then you are out of luck.
Or if you just don't want to drive
to Coolidge or Queen Creek,
then give me a holler.
Preschool hours are:
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
from 9:00 am to 11:30 am.
Morning snack provided.
Check out
for more information.
