another good thing- my report cards are done! yay!! it's a load off my mind. i still have a few more days to fill with teaching, but at least most of my deadline-y stuff is done. it's not all turned in, but it's done. so life is good :) and tomorrow afternoon is our school carnival, so that should be fun. half of the school goes out for an hour and a half, and then the rest come out. i get to take my group out at the same time as symma's class, so i'm hoping i'll get a chance to hang out with her a bit. there's going to be face painting, too, so that's always fun. or at least interesting...
izzy is apparently cutting more teeth. and has the diaper rash, drool, and tantrums to prove it. but she did discover that sucking on a big ol' triangle of watermelon feels as good as it tastes, so that made her happy for a short time at dinner. poor little pudding. and poor the rest of us. she's really miserable. it will be a motrin night for sure. good luck this weekend, mom :)
speaking of this weekend, kj, symma, and i are going to my cousin's wedding in appleton. this well be one of symma's first weddings (and possibly the first she'll really remember) so it should be fun. izzy's staying home with gma. the possibility of no nap, teething, 2 long car rides, etc... was too much for me to handle. i was going to try to leave both of them home, truth be told, but kj really wants symma there. and dad and jill and lindz and erik will be there to help entertain her, so now i'm looking forward to it :)
tomorrow is my mri. keep your fingers crossed for results before the weekend!! why do i always end up having these things on thursday's?? in any event- this is when they'll be getting their last measurements before surgery on my tumor, so we'll be able to find out exactly how much it has shrunk. maybe it will be completely gone. that would be awesome. but i'm still having surgery. i'm way to anxiety ridden to keep my boobs at this point. don't need 'em, don't want 'em, and can get better ones :)
surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow. ugh. let's focus on better things- kate's in remission, and i only have 4 more days of students :) yay!!

Great to hear the good news about you're friend. But more important, you're doing well enough to get new boobs:) I am very jelous about this stage of you're process.You have a reason to get new ones, i don't have one. Just that i want them. Hope you (and kj) enjoy you'r new boobs:)
Thanks for keeping us updated on all that's going on, Meredith ... I'll be praying that all goes well with the mri and surgery plans, and for quick results!
I remember a cute little girl in a white & red dress at a Missouri wedding three years ago ... she was such an angel and so fun! Have a good time with her & Kenny at the wedding this weekend!!
Love, Peggy
Great news! I remember those end of the school year days-the deadlines ugh! Have a great time at the wedding!
Lori
How big are you going? :) (With the boobs, I mean...)
melissa- i get to go till they seem "right". my thought is a full b. but we'll see. they also have to over fill them at first to make sure there's enough skin so i'll look a lot bigger with the expanders than i will when they swap them out... not sure when that happens.
Poor Izzy! I heard that rubbing Benadryl on her gums is suppose to help. It stops the itching and cuts down the swelling. I haven't tried it yet, but I will with the next baby! When they are so unhappy, anything is worth a shot!
I'm glad that everything is looking good! Yeah, Summer Vacation!!!!!
Hope you got the results back, Mer, and I'm glad to hear that your friend is doing well. See you tomorrow!
