Where did my post go? I know I did one in here about 3 hours ago. I'm not losing my mind.

1. Ack, Sage, post again! (I know you have surgery coming up!) 2. Found out today that the PET scan (better than a CAT scan because the radioactive glucose you ingest shows the metabolic activity of the cancer cells--which the camera picks up, interesting, huh?) my mother took did, indeed, reveal she has cancer--or her L rib. 3. Surgery will be scheduled soon--probably next week. 4. If it is like it has been in the past, the cancer will be discrete and only in the faschia (layer of skin underneath the topmost layer of skin). 5. If it has invaded the bone or lung, then it will be something else altogether. She has no symptoms that it has, though. Just the lump that SHE found and brought to her doc's attention. 6. I have yet to keep my promise to give Herc a B-A-T-H, but the day isn't over yet!

1. Hello TVCH!!! 2. This is a crazy week. I am busy making up for all I'd missed while away with the wisdom teeth removal. 3. I had my make-up Biology midterm today. My prof said she had a break between 1230 and 330, so I agreed to come then. However I didn't think I was held to a specific TIME, and it's only a 2 hour exam, so I came for 130, considering my first class of the day was her class at 330. Well, I must have just missed her and she didn't come back until about 3pm. What a boring wait outside her office on the hall floor!! LOL 3. The exam was hard. The first 3 of 6 chapters that it was covering are my WEAKEST area: biochemistry and cellular respiration. Blegh. The first NINE of 10 multiple choice questions were on those chapters!! Same with the fill in the blank area. Luckily in the short answer and long answer areas there was a way to save face on mitosis and meiosis questions. 4. Quite honestly, I didn't really study too hard for the test. I spent most of the weekend studying for French, as I thought when I went and saw the prof, he would make me write the exam yesterday. But his exam is tomorrow, along with my oral exam with him. 5. To make things worse for studying for Bio, I had to work last night, and despite everyone else saying I could go FIRST, my tables CAMPED OUT. I was the last one out of there, and after a full day of school, I couldn't keep my eyes open to study bio last night. So all of my studying was done today. 6. So tonight I study some more for French. Yesterday in class, he FINALLY called on me (I'm thinking to "stump me" and make me look foolish), and I nailed EVERY answer perfectly. <picture me blowing razberries with my tongue: nya-nya!!> 7. My English teacher LOST my in-class poetry essay exam. LOL. Now I'm not sure what to think about that. He said he checks EVERY section, and he KNOWS I wrote it....but somehow it's the only one gone. Now, I'm thinkin' he probably thought it was so horrible that he took it to a faculty meeting as some "horrid" example!! hahaha!! I joked with him today about that; at least he laughed! So my option is to "rewrite" or take an average of the rest of my marks. I am not sure WHAT to do. My gut feeling was to take the average; I don't need the stress of ANOTHER exam considering I'm doing my midterms late, and coming up on final assignments coming due as well as finals in 2 weeks. I think I'll be fine.

1. Never did find my glasses. Me and the kids went back and walked up and down the streets looking, but no glasses. 2. Kids had fun with my nieces here today. The older three played outside most the time the girls were here. I took the baby out a couple times for a few minutes (it's still windy and cool out there.) 3. By the time Caleb's game started it was too cold out to take Kota and the girls to watch it. 4. The girls played for awhile while Darren went with Caleb. 5. This week is the start of the scoring part of their season. I thought it started next week. 6. Took the girls home and came back home. Asked Kota if she wanted to play, she didn't, lol. When did she stop wanting to play with me? She did help me cook dinner though, so that was something. 7. Caleb and Darren got home just in time for dinner to be done. They were both freezing. 8. Caleb had his best game yet. They won 14-2. He caught one out and tag another. Also hit a double in one inning and was hit by the pitcher and walked in another. He was a bit upset with me for not going, so I think if it's cold at the next game I'll drop her off at my moms instead of staying home with her.

1. I'll try and do 9 facts... after losing lastnight's post, I don't know if I can remember all I wrote. Thanks Herck, I hope everything goes well for you next week. 2. Surgery is tomorrow at 1. I'll be staying over night and possibly another night. 3. Today has been interesting, a day I don't wish to repeat again. 4. Bowel cleansing and a clear liquid diet on top of that is no piece of cake. 5. I won't be able to drink anything but sip on water after midnight tonight until 10 am tomorrow. 6. I use Mozilla's Firefox browser instead of IE. I like it much better. 7. Firefox has an extension you can add on to the tool bar called, StumbleUpon. You hit the button, "Stumble!" and it takes you to a random site that lies within your selected interests, like photography for example. It is really cool, and I'm a bit addicted to it, especially when I'm bored. 8. I've been really enjoying diet A&W rootbeer lately... so good tasting. 9. Enjoyed Easter and spending time with the family. Got a neat picture of my grandaughter Riley with my new digital camera.

1. I just finished walking a country mile to find the potty. 2. It's overcast outside. 3. I still hate this job. 4. I had to work on budget issues. 5. I can't balance my checkbook to save my life or do my own taxes but I'm supposed to know about budgeting. 6. I'm responsible now for 7 diff projects. 7. I'm being rushed to do some traveling to visit our 'users'. 8. I don't want to visit the 'users' cause I have nothing to say to them. 9. I'm tired of our software developers telling me what can't be done instead of what can be done. 10. Hot flashes suck.

1. Its Friday and the first chance I have had to spend any time at the club. Things have been busy around here I see. 2. I was home sick on Wednesday. I think all of the extra work, renovations and the resulting busy-ness finally caught up with me. Today I am feeling a little more like myself. 3. Tomorrow is a book signing for one of my former students. She had the dream of becoming an author...and now it has happened and I am so proud of her. I have been invited and can hardly wait. I've never been to a book launch before so I don't know what to wear and I have no idea what to get her......any suggestions factoiders? 4. The rain has been falling now for 2 days. Great news you say, so it will melt the snow. Yes, but remember my flood of two summers ago....not liking this rain at all. Our sump pump ran all night. I could not live through another flood I dont' think. 5. Tomorrow the kids, Hubby and I are invited to a pizza and bowling party. We are all looking forward to it, because it has been ages since we bowled. It will be nice to spend some time together too. Fondly Wappy

1. Caleb caught a cold after his last game Wednesday night. He spent most of yesterday sleeping and skipped his game tonight. He was feeling better but didn't have much energy. 2. Our weather has improved greatly. It was 74 today. Darren mowed the lawn, Dakota spent a lot of time outside riding her bike and playing with the neighbor kids. 3. I took her to practice this evening while Darren stayed home with Caleb. She was too cute, while practicing batting, everytime she hit the ball she'd turn to give me the thumbs up sign. 4. I also had to sign up for snack bar duty. For some reason they've given us an extra day even though we have fewer kids than most of the other teams do. We have six shifts this year, need 4 parents for each one, and only have seven sets of parents (we have two sets of siblings on this team.) I think I signed up for three shifts, though might have been four? LOL, hope the team mom makes up a schedule otherwise I'm likely to forget! I did sign up for times Caleb's either playing a game (I can watch from the snack bar,) and when he'll likely have practice so we can all go together and leave together. 5. The weather is supposed to be great this weekend, so I'm looking forward to getting some yard work done and lots of outside play time for the kidlets. 6. The day I had my nieces here I noticed a strange sore on the baby's leg when I changed her diaper. She wasn't complaining about it, didn't even seem to notice when I touched it, so I called my sister to find out what it was. She wasn't sure, but had noticed it that morning. Yesterday she said it looked a little different and decided to take her to the doctor about it. Turns out it was a spider bite! Dr gave her some ointment and told sis to keep an eye on it. Baby still wasn't acting like it hurt.

1. I went to "Forbidden Broadway" last night. It was good, but I'm glad that I only paid $26 for it. I think that the edition that is ON broadway is better than the road show. I guess that my only problem was with the mic system. 2. That possum is back and has found the cat food on the front porch. Possum is getting really fat. Scares the crap out of me! 3. I need to rank scholarship applicants sometime this weekend. 4. I'm going to Missouri today! No, not for the NCAA in St. Louis but a couple of hours south for an organ recital in Cape Gerardeau. I've heard that the church where the recital will be is absolutely gorgeous. I need to see an old gorgeous church. (Might be time to go back to Munich). 5. I hope that I can get my kitchen and my living room cleaned up this weekend. 6. Got my car fixed yesterday. I like this dealership, as they take you to work and pick you up promptly! 7. Also got a haircut! AND I'm very happy with it. Same old inverted wedge/swing. New hairdresser, and I'll keep her I think.

Now I remember why I haven't been here in awhile,I just don't have a lot to say! 7. My parents are coming in a month. Haven't seen them in a year. 8.

1. I haven't posted in the facts thread in what seems like forever! 2. My family spent Spring Break sick. 3. My family spent Easter sick. 4. No Spring Break fun and no Easter Egg hunts. 5. Jake finally went back to school on Wednesday and other than some coughing, we are all feeling much better. 6. I went to a Mom's Night Out last night and took a knitting lesson. I have always wanted to learn. It was hard at first, but I think I have the hang of it now. Although I really don't have a clue what I am doing! 7. I am going to Home Depot at 4:00 today, apparently they are having a workshop on how to make the boxes they made on the Apprentice a couple weeks ago. I don't watch the Apprentice, but somebody told me about it so I want to learn how to make my kids a new toy box. 8. I have eaten to much Easter candy this week and I feel yucky. 9. The weather is nice today, so I think I will go do some yard work for a little bit. 10. Jim took the kids out to run some errands so I have the whole house to myself! Yay!

1. Had a bad night of pain, but it was okay for sleeping, as long as I don't have to move, I'm okay. I don't like this very much, and my stomach is so swollen. It's almost time for another pain pill, and Bob said he is going to come over so he can "gawk" at me... hahaha. Gotta love him.

1. I "fake" called in sick on Friday ... sometimes it's got to be done. 2. I have had this cough/sinus thing for the past 3 weeks so it wasn't entirely a lie.

1. My heart is heavy today with the death of the Pope. I am in NO WAY religious, but he was a kind man, and while many of his religious policies have created some huge obstacles for the global society to overcome, I still think he personally has never hurt anyone. He was a great man, and I hope the next Pope will be as charismatic as John Paul II, while helping the Roman Catholic church to evolve with the new problems of the world. But yeah, I'm feeling kind of low today, knowing we won't see his sparkling smile anymore. 2. I need to write an essay today and tomorrow, on The Joy Luck Club. **sigh** I have no thoughts on the book. I enjoyed reading it, but honestly have not a single insight. Coming up with a claim I can stand behind and argue passionately is going to be a difficult job. 3. My bf was in town from midnight last night until 6 tonight. It came and went way too quickly. I am one month away from him moving back for the summer and possibly longer if he does not make the team next year. Seriously, I am at the end of my rope. I'm sick of not seeing him, and I am crusty and grumpy without him. While he does not "complete" me, he certainly brings positive vibes to my world. I'm counting down the days til he's back.......

1. Happy Spring Factoiders! 2. I've been bitten by the gardening bug! 3. I'm amazed at how much pruning of shrubs, small trees, ect that needed to be done in our backyard. 4. I've been doing a bit here and there since 6am this morning. It feels good to clean up out there! Now I'll tackle some inside chores....yuk!

1. Luvmyjrt, I took a look at your great pictures in your folder! I'm glad you're experimenting with your G6. 2. I went ahead and bought the Olympus C5500 because I just couldn't pass up the deal that ended today. 3. I'll now be uploading the information from the CD that came with the camera...gulp! 4. I just had IM chats with all three of my kidlets....you gotta love the internet! 5. Okay, I'm officially done with gardening, household chores and buying digital cameras for the day...time to chill out in front of the TV. 6. Oh, and then get some dinner started...ugh! I did tell you guys that I just hate to cook, didn't I? I find gardening and photography more to my liking...hee-hee!
