Surgery

So my little SKITTLE was operated on today. They removed the lump and my surgery took about an hour and a half, my incision is 3 inches long and feels like its on FIRE!!! Other then that I am doing really good. My kids and hubby are taking really good care of me, daddy went to pick Brohlen up from the babysitters and had a talk with him about being very careful, so when he got home Brohlen said " you booby sad today", "yes Brohlen mommies booby is sad and sore". So he gave me a kiss very carefully on my cheek.

My wonderful neighbor took Mattie to Lagoon A Beach today so Mattie was not bored sitting around.

The doctor told Kev, that she is not sure what she has removed, she is not sure that it is Fibroadenoma or a fatty tissue or a cyst. So we will just wait for the biopsy and then go from there. I am positive it is absolutly nothing.

Keep our fingers crossed, and I hate taking pain killers so pray I don't need one for a while.

Kev went up camping with a bunch of guys, so the kids and I went to the Roy Water Park!!It was really fun, it was nice because Mattie and Brohlen just played in the kiddie pool and I got to lay out and relax.

So, I had to say something POSITIVE about our swimming adventure... WHY??

OOH I will tell ya, I did not want to go, I gained a bit of weight and put my swimming suit on and OOOH BOY did I look like
YES, that is RASPUTIA from Norbit the movie!! So, I had to buy a new swimming suit and there was some slim pickins @ Target today. I also HATE getting my picture taken, I am my worst critic EVER!! Mattie snuck one in of me and it is time for me to SHAPE UP. Although I did have a lot of fun swimming and I did not go thru any fence when I went down the water slide.

I am FIRING the MOON BOOTS!!

I bought Brohlen some Spider Man snow boots, so that we could RARELY go out side in the FREEZING COLD... so here he is with his new boots on.

he keeps wearing them and wearing them, yes it is summer and he has shorts on and MOON BOOTS, he looks like Napolean Dynamite.

OOH and yes here they are again, shirtless and BOOTS!! I really have hid them and almost threw them away, but I just could not hurt him that way.... AAAGGHHH!! He even sleeps with them on. He has to wear them to church so he can show his FRIENDS??? Really Brohlen your are ONLY 2.

So, I am just going to have to live with it, and eventually they will not fit.

Better late then Never!!

So our 4th of July was GREAT!! We went to the Layton park and I got to see Tana, and Charissa and lots of friends from school. We had a BBQ at our house, it was really relaxing. Brohlen usually loves the fireworks, but he got scared of the sparkler and then was afraid when Kev lit the big fireworks... He is funny boy

My addiction's

So cute Jill posted about her addiction to DR. Pepper and was really funny.
So here is my addiction's

Love these things, it is almost to the point that I can not go to bed until I eat one of these with a glass of milk. Ya, that totally adds up to more calories and fat grams then I need in one day. They are so good.

My other love of my life is Mr. Clean, yes his bald head is cute.... but he can really clean my house. With three older kids and Brohlen aka Dennis the Menace, it is so CRAZY how dirty my house can get. I buy a box of these at least every two weeks, I REALLY CLEAN EVERYTHING with these. I maybe think my hubby a bit jealous.

My other addiction is Diet Coke, so we started to buy this after Mattie was diagnosed with Diabetes, now, we are all STUCK on it. I am trying really hard not to have it at all, or just one a day. Since I have cut back I did lose 3 pounds... YEAH ME!!








So there are mine, it will be fun to have "friends" post addictions too. Thanks Jill!!

Give Away!!

We all love free stuff, and Jill found this great BLOG.. Click on the link and you need to post a comment and tell them that you got it from me, and your entered into a drawing. This is so much fun. Thanks Jill.

OH My Boys!!

So yestereday on my way home from work I drank a big thing of water, so of course had to go to the potty. Got in there went and then there was no toilet PAPER!!!

WHAT???? who does this sort of thing, then I had a VISION,

the culprits MEN, BOYS, KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So seriously if no one else goes through this I think, I will GO CRAZY!!!!! It is so not hard to change the toilet paper, and totally not hard for them to PEE in the big hole they have. I am not sure what they are doing, but it gets all over the toilet, sometimes in find it on my wall.... BROHLEN!!

So what I did you ask??
I said "Kevin, Brohlen, no longer will you pee any where else but in the BIG HOLE !!!!!! if so you will clean it yourself, also I taught them how to change the toilet paper rolls. Just in case they didn't know how to.

Average Bra Size

So what I have on top is "Skittles" that is my nickname for my not so big chest size. Brohlen asked me the other day where my "boobs" were, and I was like UUUH DUH!!! Kevin laughed and said that maybe someday I would get bigger ones. So in my feel sorry for my little "SKITTLES" I decided to look up the average bra size, thinking that I am right in the average...

Average breast size breakdown
According to the information we have available, here's how average breast size in America breaks down:
AA cup: 2%
A cup: 15%
B cup: 44%
C cup: 28%
D cup: 10%
DD cup: 1%
So the average breast size is something of a Bell curve, with B cup right in the middle.

Lingerie manufacturer Frederick's of Hollywood reports that in 1996, the average size of bras they sold was 34B. Currently, the average is a 36C.

UUMM I am no where near that AAGHHH

Now, granted those who purchase lingerie from Frederick's are not statistically representative sampling of American women. Nonetheless, this change is extremely interesting.
Similar data about the increase in average breast size comes from the UK, where busts grew from 36B to 36C between 1997 and 1999. According to The Penguin Atlas of Human Sexual Behavior, breasts across Asia grew from 34A to 34C between 1980 and 2000.
What's behind the increase in average breast size?

There's no solid answer behind the steady rise in average breast size, but there are some theories.

Some fashion designers believe that the increase in average breast size is a result of the garment industry. Many clothing manufacturers inflate or deflate sizes according to the times. As all women know, different brands of shoes and clothing fit differently. There's a big difference in a size 10 from two different companies. And as larger breasts have become more fashionable, possibly C cups have been getting smaller so more women can be proud to have a larger than average size.

Some sociologists point to the general weight gain among Americans as the cause of the increase in average breast size. Bigger people, the remind us, tend to have bigger breasts. And as obesity reaches epidemic proportions, the breasts of overweight women keep pace with the rest of them.
A final, and far more terrifying, explanation is that of excessive estrogens in the environment. Due to industrial pollution and widespread use of oral contraceptives, there are high levels of estrogens found in water in many places. In some rivers, fish are dying out because there's so much estrogen in the water that all the fish are born female. In this scenario, average breast size is growing due to this hormonal pollution.

WOW that is pretty darn interesting!!!

Well, I will just settle with my "SKITTLES" and just be all NATURAL.....

Looking life in the face.

I wasn't going to say anything, then my GREAT HUBBY said that the more people are aware and hear stories the better off we are, so here is the begining of mine.

I recently found a lump in my left breast also I have a swollen lymph node in my left arm pit.

I KNOW, I KNOW HOLY COW!!!

I went today to have my mammogram and they started with an ultrasound HORRID !!

Anyway, she found the mass right away. It is the size of a quarter and looks like a benign mass and also has some inconsistencies. The doctor told me that she recommends me have a breast biopsy and have the mass removed. There is a non malignant mass called Fibroadenoma, which mine sort of looks like, they can be cancerous but very rare. Most Fibroadenoma's have to be removed soon so they can biopsy the whole thing to determine cancer or not.

YEP STILL SPEECHLESS !!!!

So, I am now looking my life in the face and wondering the HOW, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE's of life and all I can do is LIVE!! I now have a different perspective on my life as well as those around me. I am not posting about this for sympathy or DRAMA.. not one for the DRAMA.

I Just want all my friends and family to know how fast a perfect life can go so BUMPY and SHORT.

Taking things for granted is now a thing of my past, I will now PLAY HARDER, LOVE MORE, HOLD MY KIDS LONGER, ACHIEVE MY GOALS, and SURVIVE what ever comes at me.

Thank you to my mom, my husband, Kristie, and Julie for your words of encouragement for now it is my strength.
