I created a LJ account because I love me some Snakeoil and have never really liked commenting as anon. I don’t think it will be posted to much but you never know.. I was reading last night that WordPress has some nifty plug-in that cross posts your WP posts to your LJ account. Someday when I feel motivated I might do that.

When I got the nasty headache Wednesday Ben was just amazing. I went to bed when I got home from work and after asking Ben if he’d get Cassidy for me at daycare… I woke up at 7:30 and kinda freaked out becuase I had not fed Cassidy yet and it was already bath time!! She was in the bath, having eaten dinner and I was promptly told to go back to sleep. To those of you non parents that might not seem like a big deal but to me it was huge…

And that’s not to mention that in the last year he’s taught Cassidy to tie her shoes, snap her fingers, to hang up her jacket EVERY time she comes in, to clean up her spot at the table.. all the things that I used to do FOR her because I never assumed she was capable. He’s taught me to let her think for herself more instead of always jumping to her aid… To let her speak for herself, order her own foood at restaurants, let her be an individual. No easy task for a mommy. He’s made me into a better parent. And for that I could enever fully express enough gratitude.

Then to top it all off, I walked in the door Friday to find these on the coffee table… ‘Just because’ :heart: :heart:

I just don’t know how I got so lucky.

Went to the dermatologist yesterday. I’ve been having some issues for awhile now that I want to get checked out…

#1 - The rash is back.

It’s oficially Psoriasis. She gave me an RX for a liquid treatment. She said this should clear it right up. Thank God. The itching on the back of my head was starting to REALLY drive me up the wall across the ceiling and down the other side. It’s bad. Although, not nearly as bad as the amount of flaking. I feel like some kind of inhuman dandruff making machine.

#2 - Spot on right breast.

I had this spot of really rough skin about the size of an eraser head on the outside of my right breast. I thought I should have it checked out because skin cancer runs in my family… a lot. The Dr. told me that it was an ‘age mark’ and that people get them as they get older… then said, ‘Welcome to middle age.’ I had to use my left hand to stop my right hand from giving her the finger. I’m only 25!!! Well, 26 next month. But still!!

She froze it with liquid nitrogen and said it should fall off in a few days.

#3 - Mole on back.

I have had this mole on my back and in the last year it rose. It get’s caught on my pants and bugs the crap out of me so she lanced it off.

#4 - Mole on the right breast.

This poor breast. I feel bad for it. I have a mole on my breast that has grown quite fast in the last year. When she saw told me that it needs to come off immediatley. So.. next Thursday I go in to have it take out. It’s going to leave a 1 inch scar on my breast though. Luckly it’s just below the tan mark from my bathing suit. It’s gong to have to be stitched closed. After it’s out it will be sent to Pathology to be tested.

She seemed concerned that I had not had it taken care of as soon as it started to grow. She actually was trying to make me an appointment to come in TODAY. Corss your fingers for me!! They are cutting a chunk out of my BREAST!!!
