So, I shared earlier about having to get all my doctor appointments scheduled. I still have to schedule my mammogram and my eye appointment and I have my appointment for my migraines. It is rough trying to keep yourself healthy, I have realized these last few weeks that I seriously neglected my self over the years. I am chalking this up to my resolution of self care this year.
Young Moms, please do not neglect your own health for the sake of your family. I wish I had been better to me while the boys were young but, when you are trying to hold down a household and take care of two boys you tend to neglect you. Make you a priority.
I completed my Cologuard test, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, I am waiting to hear back about my results. This tests your poop for cancer DNA. If it comes back positive it does not mean you have cancer it means you could have cancer and should have the colonoscopy to make sure there are no polyps. If it comes back negative this will be the best thing ever because I will not have to have that nasty colonoscopy. I will be honest I have heard horror stories about these and I want to stay as far away from them as I can. I am a terrible patient, I hate doctors and I may have used the family as an excuse not to go to the doctor. I am a terrible patient.
We can chalk up a win for the Lax bros last night, our first win of the season. Sprat got accepted to his new school, got his scholarship and will be playing lacrosse for this new school. We are very excited for him and cannot wait to see what his sophomore year will hold. The hubbs has dirt and is going to work on my herb bed again today. Big T is getting ready for his Prom tonight so stay tuned for photo overload.

I am my Fathers' daughter. . .
My dad has always been an early riser. I guess he threw that on me too or it might be the kids. Ever since I had my kids I cannot sleep very long. At first I thought it was because I was worrying about stuff and then I thought it was because I had too much caffeine to drink too close to bedtime. I figured it out this morning at 5 am, I am my fathers' daughter.
My dad, for as long as I can remember, has always gotten up early and either gone to the gym or gone for a run on the street. Before there were gyms on every corner my dad would jog out our street for at least a couple of miles. Now he goes to the gym and walks on the treadmill and lifts weights. I always thought he got up early because he wanted to do his run and then he had to go to the barn and feed the horses and then come home to take me to school. I think he gets up early because he can't sleep any longer than what he does. I admire my dad because he does do all these things in the morning before he goes to work. Now he is at home and in his easy chair by 9 ish and usually asleep. I do give him a break on that one because he starts his day at 4 in the morning that and he is 83. As I said he has been doing this since I can remember.
I cannot sleep past 6 and I am lucky if I sleep past 5 these days. I decided today, when I woke up at 5, that I would do what dad did. I went for a brisk walk. I usually walk my sweet B after I take Sprat to school but this walk was just for me. It was still dark, nice, and quiet. I prayed and I took in the fresh morning air and enjoyed my walk this morning. This walk was just for me, I think I may try it tomorrow too. Thank you dad.
