how my day began…
I’ve been putting this off for a while… like since may 06. I had an exam and then ultrasound that revealed some ovarian cysts… I was supposed to schedule a follow-up ultrasound to determine if they were changing. I forgot. Anyway I finally made the appointment and saw the dr. She said it was a “normal examination.” She did schedule another ultrasound next week to make sure but said she didn’t feel any problems. I’m healed. Yay. It occured to me sitting in that office, watching the pregnant women come and go, that it’s a lot more fun when you are going to hear your baby’s heartbeat or see their little face on the ultrasound machine rather than just see your silly parts. Ugh. Not that I’m wanting another baby. Nope.
Today was Izzy’s first extended school day. She will now go from 11:30 until 3:30. Four whole hours! It makes a big difference and I think it will be great for her to have more time with her teachers and therapists everyday. She had a great day today and is about ready to go to bed now.
Matt was supposed to return to work tomorrow. We’ve both been sick for several days. The days off he had already used were from last year, so he had about 160 hours for this new year. He has decided to use three more days and go back Monday. He’s been working so much overtime lately I know he needs the break. That’s all I’m sayin’ about that…
I made pizzas again tonight. That sauce recipe I posted was the bomb! It made the pizzas ten times better. Seriously! You should give it a try. Matt suggested I open a pizzaria. LOL … I did good to get four made. There are two left.
My sweet brother Mike brought me a carryout order from my favorite (Victoria’s Pasta Shop). I was very surprised when he arrived with it this afternoon. I had planned to begin my starvation diet tomorrow, but I guess it will begin after my Victoria’s lasagna roll breakfast.
Speaking of food (like usual)…. mom and I went to Cheesecake Factory yesterday. It was better than ever! We stopped at the mall and checked out some stuff…. got a new calendar etc. It was a fun outing.
With a full tummy I’m going to close and watch the biggest loser. Wow! These people have a lot of weight to lose. Should be interesting to watch. Inspiring too.
Praise God for the good report.

What a great way to start your day!
I will be going in for the great mamo this month–something I have been putting off for about a year again, Seriously, glad to hear you received a good report and I am proud of you for taking care of yourself and getting to that appointment. So many women just don’t.
*smiles and happy Tuesday to you*

You are right–that sauce is awesome. I’m not as sure about the crust–I liked it, but it was very soft bread-like. I don’t know how to get it a little crispier–roll it out thinner, maybe??
Glad you are healthy!

That’s quite the picture you started off with;) I’m glad that all is well though. Hope Izzy enjoys her extra time at school. And I hope you enjoy Matt’s extra days off.

I’m so glad that you got good news from the doctor. Izzy Bear is getting to be a big girl…4 hours! Wow…I’m sure you’ll find lots to do. Thanks for the pizza sauce recipe. I’ve got to give it a try. Do you think it’s worth the trouble of making your own crust or would you rather take the easy route?
Hugs!

Annie, glad to hear the news…no Cysts! Yay you!
I am also glad to hear that things are going good with Izzy. That absolutely Rocks!
Sorry to hear that you all have been under the weather. Stress does that to ya. Lowers the defenses.
I am not allowed inside the Cheescake Factory. Why? Because I come out 50lbs heavier then when I go in…Go in twice? I gain 100lbs. Not good. I love that place!
Hello Annie,
So glad your exam went well. I am so scared of the check up myself. Fortunately the lady who does my PAP test is very kind and gentle and I am not that embarassed. It’s nice to hear Izzy will be out of the house more. It must be stimulating for her.
(P.S.I love cheesecake).
