Just a lipoma

That's what Cassy has. Just a big ol' tumor of fatty tissue that thankfully is non-cancerous. It will most likely need to be surgically removed if it grows much bigger. But the bigger it gets, the more difficult the surgery so I'm thinking maybe after Christmas I'll get it done.

Halloween is just around the corner and although Yoyo is terrified of costumes and the scarier looking halloween decorations, he has been asking me every day to go trick or treating. I'm not looking forward to all the candy...for two reasons, one, I don't need a 2 year old hyped up on sugar for days on end, and two, I don't need my waist to expand anymore!!!
I bit the bullet and bought more halloween decorations for outside today. I wasn't going to but Yoyo was asking about his stolen pumpkin ALL the time so I felt bad. And by golly gee, if someone steals these ones, I am going to snap. So weird that everybody else's halloween decorations on our street have been left untouched.

My Wishes For Today...

I wish I had more patience for a 2 year old that was up until midnight last night and refuses to nap today.

I wish that whoever stole all our outdoor halloween decorations would feel remorse and return them. I have a sad son who misses his big pumpkin that lights up.

I wish that Sundays WERE actually a day of relaxation instead of endless laundry, housecleaning, and prepping for the upcoming week.

I wish my son found joy and contentment in sitting and watching a movie (or just even more than 30 seconds of a cartoon) or colouring at the table for longer than 2 minutes.

I wish it was still summer so my son could happily play outside endlessly while I get some serious studying done.

Most of all, I wish my sweet little Cassy didn't have a baseball size lump in her armpit. And until Tuesday when I find out for sure, I will continue wishing that it is nothing serious.

Today...

...my son told me to shut up. Uh, yeah, not impressed! I know he didn't hear that one from me (not to say that I haven't let slip a few not-so-nice words of my own). So I asked him where he heard that from and he told me "simon" (a boy from his dayhome) told him to shut up. Now that I believe, this is the same boy that pushed him down a whole flight of stairs. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Nov.1 he starts at a new day home and I'm crossing my fingers that it is run a little better than the one he is at now.

Really???

Has it really been over a month since my last post???? Where the heck does the time go? Well, it's time to do a little catching up I guess.

Yonas is still obsessed with all things dinosaurs and it doesn't look like that will be changing anytime soon, so we decided to give the little guy a dinosaur room. There's still a few things to do, like get some pics for the walls and whatnot but for the most part it's all good to go. And yes, Yonas is totally stoked about his new room.

Note: The setting on my camera must have been wonky cuz the pics didn't turn out so well.

I paid a small fortune for these dinosaur knobs (from Etsy) but I really do think they were worth it.

I'm not sure why, but Yonas had become very afraid of the dark. It started before his new room so I know it's not related to that. But he makes me leave his bedroom light on at night. And even if I wait until he is asleep to turn it off, he will wake up and either get up and turn it back on himself or cry for me to come and turn it on for him...and then gives me crap for turning it off in the first place. I've tried nightlights, flashlights, you name it, but nothing is as good as his actual bedroom light. So there is now the lowest wattage bulb possible in there but it still bothers me I have a light on ALL night long.

Last weekend we zipped out to Saskabush for a couple of days. I forgot my camera so no pics but Yonas had a blast with his cousins. And of course we were able to take a little detour to visit with Rhonda and Eden.

Life is good. Really busy with school and the dreaded studying and homework that comes with it which is why I don't post very often anymore. I refuse to go on the computer before Yoyo goes to bed...the small amount of time we have together at the end of the day is far too important for me to be sitting in front of a computer. And then of course after he goes to bed and I do laundry, clean, get ready for the next day, and my schookwork, well the computer is the last thing I want to spsend time doing. So yeah, we're doing awesome, just busy!
