Today was another rollercoaster day! I was studying for another exam, my Microsoft Azure Fundamentals Certification. I feel like the more I study the less I retain. I know it is because my mind is occupied with so many other things it doesn’t want anything else…but I just keep cramming stuff up there. #OneDayIWillLearn
My mom got some not so good news too. She must have been going through her mail and found a letter that was sent on behalf of her neurosurgeon. It was an old letter requesting her tumor samples be sent to yet another lab for further testing. In the letter, though, it said the testing was to try and find markers that “drive the behavior of your cancer.” Up until this day, I feel like doctors and nurses have danced around this topic. For me, I thought because they were on the fence about grade that it being cancer was still up in the air. This letter seems pretty clear, though. BUT…my God is still in the healing business, so I am not going to claim that. Still, my mom was rattled…yet again. If that wasn’t enough, she discovered a lump on her breast. #WTF She was at the doctor’s office when she texted me her pressure had spiked. Rightfully so…all of this is pretty scary and taxing.
As of now, her pressure is better and her primary doesn’t think the lump is a cause for concern. That response didn’t sit well with my spirit so I told my mom to call her OB to get further confirmation. After everything up to this point, y’all better quit playing with me! #SpiritLed #DoesntMatterWhatYouSaidIListenToHim
Sidebar, I have to thank my sister for reminding me just how able HE is! Ever since my mom’s diagnosis I have been on a journey of unknowns. My emotions reach highs, then something happens and they reach massive lows. The only constant through this journey has been God’s strength, grace, and mercy. As my sister said, “let it play over and over in your head how far God has brought y’all. We know what He can do.” #Amen #SheIsSoRight #SistersInFamilyAndInFaith We’ve got this!
Now…shifting gears…
Y’all know I cannot make stuff up, right? My life is my life. Every challenge, hardship, victory, and triumph…it’s mine! So are the noteworthy moments with Things 1 and 2. Tell me…why do these kids test me when I am clearly having a sh*tty day??? #RhetoricalQuestion
Thing 2 is my focused and passionate kid. She could not be bothered to potty train because play-mode was wayyyy more important. To this day, that still rings true. The girls have been hard-core gaming since being on break. As break is coming to a close, they were getting their last day of gaming in. Thing 2 was playing soooooo hard…she didn’t want to leave her desk to go potty. The funny thing is, y’all think you know where this story is going…wait for it…wait for it! My child held it…until she couldn’t.
Now, I am sure y’all are thinking this is pee we are talking about. #Nope! In order for me to have had a sh*tty day, sh*t must be involved, right? #Riiiiiiight I saw some stuff in the garbage can and on the wall that looked mad suspect (sus if you’re a tween these days). This kid had the audacity to tell me, “I got a little in my panties.” Uhhhhhh…translate please, ‘cuz what I see in the trash can ain’t in your drawz!!!! Apparently, this kid was at her desk gaming and holding it when she realized her butt muscles had failed her just enough to gross her momma out. She proceeded to clean herself up while still in the room and just throw her sh*t away. As I type this all I can hear is Fabolous saying, “just throw it in the bag!” #CleanUpOnAisleFive #JesusTakeTheWheel #TakeMyDinnerTooCuzItsComingBackUp
I won’t gross you out anymore. Fact is, I have OCD and am a germaphobe. I don’t do bodily functions. If you want to see me flatline, produce a bodily function and I AM OUT! Thing 2 has been stomping on my OCD and germaphobia since she was born. I guess she is trying to heal me of it. This must be what I get for thinking the earlier part of my day was sh*tty! #Perspective #ShesStillGrounded #HoldItAgain #IDareYa #WaitSheJustMight #ITakeItBack
Tomorrow, I claim a not-so-sh*tty day…please…for the sake of my gag reflexes! #PleaseAndThankYou
