I Screamed at the Doctor's Office Today

Today I had an appointment at the doctor's office to get this little piece of (gross) hanging skin taken off. It WAS located right at/below my right eye. I was hoping my doctor would say she could not take it off, that I would have to go to a dermotolgist.

No, she offered to possibly cut or freeze it off. She said she would freeze it. Ok, just lie back, she asked. I did. Weirdly, as she began her very slow and demented work, I thought it felt like cutting. YES, she was slowly and carefully cutting at my skin!

Tears were streaming down my face, eventually I screamed....a couple of times.

The tag of skin is off now. I am grateful, but my eye area still hurts.

P.S. I wish I knew how to add a scream sound when you touched the word scream.

Pool

Having a pool is nice, but sometimes the up keep can really be a BEAR!!

It is like giving a moose a muffin....one thing just leads to another!

Well, I got it all clean, all running nicely now. You may thank me.

Update

Ticks: looking much better! We think Quinn will survive nicely.

Zak: Woke up SICK this morning! Headache, fever, feeling cold, nauseated, not well. Let's hope he feels better tomorrow.

WINDS: they were blowing SO hard last night, I thought we would have a tornado. I was frightened! Dad just slept through it! I heard Kylie's bedroom door close hard about 3 or 4 times during night...meaning the wind came into their room - all windows leak - then the wind left, making the door open a bit and close hard. Very distressing to me.

Best part of Dad's day: sleeping in....he takes Zak to seminary and when Zak did not wake up, neither did Dad.

Christopher, I expect you to partake in the quiz question on the Payne blog.

Griffin: today he came up to me with a bit of excitement..."Mommy, smell me!" "What", I said, "Smell my hand", he asked, "OK"...I smelled his hand, and told him it smelled just like boy skin. He said, Oh, Good, Then I don't have to take a bath! I don't smell dirty!"

I don't know where that came from, but I thought his idea was funny.


That's it.

2 Items of Business

With the buisness of the tickS and all, I forgot to mention.....

Kylie was QUITE the pitcher on Saturday!

She pitched the last inning....

1st batter....strike out!

2nd batter....strike out!

3rd batter....strike out!!!

No help from the coach. Yea for Kylie

APPARENTLY Chase has been reading the blog and studying! We all know now that he has tests none of us would like to take.

Hope all goes well, Chase!

TICKS UPDATE: It looks gross, I had to draw a black line all around the redness today to see if it continues to grow. While I was at it I wrote in the date and time. I enjoyed the excuse to draw on Quinn's stomach.

Tick Tack Toe...No, Just a TICK

Quinn came back from his camping trip with a GUEST!

He got a tick.

Enjoy the pictures

I pulled the tick out with tweezers.

You can see the whole where the tick was.

ALERT: upon closer inspection, another tick was found.

No new photos were allowed.

Friday Night

Tonight it is/was just me, Kylie and Griffin.

Dad and Quinn went on an overnight campout. In a shocking turn of events, they were actually ready WAY early! I fixed them both a nice tin foil dinner. Quinn has never had one before and was quite concerned about the bun for the hamburger. When I finally was able to explain enough what the meal was, he thought it very odd to eat a hamburger patty like that. We will see how he liked it.

Zak was at a vollyball game, I picked him up at 7:00pm, then he got ready to go to a friends birthday party - they are playing video games until 10:00pm when I hope he will get a ride home.

Kylie, Griffin and I watched Bee Movie. It was funny! I really liked it.

That's it. Hope you all enjoyed your night.

Hey Chase!

Chase,

Where are you??

I don't think you are reading this blog anymore,

Or you are too shy to comment!!

Get back in the game!

I MISS YOU!

25 cents worth

Don't worry Chase, I found a Wyoming quarter today and placed it in your Quarter Book.Now we all have to look for this Oklahoma quarter, it is out NOW!

Check every quarter.

Brawling IS Allowed

We got the game yesterday. Already Quinn and Zak have unlocked 3 players.

(Whatever that means.)

I think they like the game.

Ninja Tumbling Gym Extravaganza

I organized this little event at a tumbling gym in Provo. I haven't gotten many pictures yet, but here are a few I downloaded from Facebook. Next week is a big-time testing week for me, so I will have time to get some other pictures after that. FYI: the guy standing by the hole I jumped through is about 6'5.
