I'm giving myself permission to stop and take a deep breath. Work is a little crazy, some co-workers are a lot crazy and we have a wedding coming up in 46 days!
How about you -

Have both moments of sadness and happiness as I adjust to empty nest syndrome. So proud of my kids but darn, I miss them!

I'm giving myself permission to stop and take a deep breath. I need to do that too! I'm in the middle of our agency audit, HUD audit and county audit...all at the same time. Allowing myself to stop and breath is probably a good idea right now.

Cry, no matter who is around. After what was to be a routine colonoscopy Friday, later that night my husband went by ambulance to the hospital with a hole in his colon where a polyp was removed. He had emergency surgery at 4:00am Saturday. Gas and poop was all in his body cavity. He now has an incision from sternum to pubic area. It's been a very hard week since then. Biopsy results yesterday showed that the big polyp causing this fiasco was an aggressive pre-cancer. But the second biggest polyp was cancer. The doctor described it like a flower on a long stem. The flower portion had the cancer, but the stem did not or the base so she's confident she got it all. We've all been waiting for my husband to have a BM. He has not been able (and hasn't wanted to) eat or drink until he has a BM. He finally did this morning but there was a lot of blood. When I got to the hospital he was sitting in a chair shaking and crying in fear. He's on a floor where the nurses typically do not care for patients with his surgery so the nurse told him blood wasn't normal and he may need to undergo another procedure. They quickly called the surgeon who said it was completely normal and what they were waiting for.
This has been such a whirlwind. Friday should have been no big deal. Saturday we planned to go to breakfast for a day of biking. Now he's in the hospital for at least a week. 6 week recovery. They are not planning on chemo at this time but will repeat a colonoscopy in 2-3 months. He's only 47.
On the positive side, this was discovered with a routine colonoscopy. He had no symptoms. Usually my husband is stubborn and won't go to the doctor. However, we have a close friend who had a cancer scare a few months ago so I told my husband it's time for a physical. We have good insurance that pays 100% of preventive - no reason not to go. I'm proud of him for actually following through and doing all of this. It truly may have saved his life this time.

I'm giving myself permission to pace myself in organizing and cleaning the house this week. We just dropped DD off at college and I return to work next week. I feel like after 18 years of raising her (and still have 15 yo DS), that I deserve a little down time alone. Yes, I miss DD but with FB and texts/calls, I know she's doing pretty well considering. The extra time for myself, DS and hubby is nice. She will be home in October for a bit so I'm already looking forward to that.

Sit down and watch "Blue Bloods" in ten minutes. I ran errands and picked up some things for the neighbors and washed a load of clothes. Need to try to groom the dog but that's looking doubtful.

idahomom, I'm sorry that your dh has to endure this pain, but it sounds like he'll be OK and hopefully won't need further treatment. You both need rest, so please do get as much rest as you can at night. Take care of yourself and you'll have more energy to take care of him. Meanwhile, come to 2peas when you need to vent or cry or just need cyberhugs(((()))). I'm giving myself permission to bring out my puzzle board and start a jigsaw puzzle. It makes things a bit messier, but it's a great way to spend a little bit of time each day.

So proud of your DH for taking care of himself! Early detection is the best cure for colon cancer (or any cancer!) It sucks now, but he most likely saved himself from chemo and a whole lot worse. Praying for healthy, blood-free, painless poops!

Kids are back in school. I'm giving myself permission to take my time cleaning and decluttering each room. It's driving DH crazy, but I'm in no rush. When I get the house in order, I'm going to look into going back to school to finish my degree. Again, I'm in no rush and right now, I don't even feel bad about it! I have a lot that I want to do around here and I'm going to get everything in order before I even attempt to go back to school myself!

I'm SO sorry to hear about your dh and the cancer. Thank GOD he went! My dad had symptoms for 2 years that he ignored and he didn't do nearly as well. Here's hoping he has a speedy recovery and no more signs of cancer!! Hugs to you!!

Leave the mess I made in my dining room right there for the night. I dragged up from the basement a ton of Princess House crystal still in boxes. I will never use it and if I died my only child would simply put it in a dumpster, so I might as well sell it on my local FB Buy, Sell, Trade pages. I spent the afternoon photographing, measuring and cataloging it so I can post it. I still have to figure out prices for it. My entire dining room is full of it. And...that is right where it will stay for tonight.
