THREE MONTHS AFTER TOMMIE WAS BORN, I DISCOVERED I HAD MELANOMA. I CAN ONLY TELL YOU THAT WITHOUT A DOUBT, GOD SPOKE TO ME AND TOLD ME NOT TO WAIT...TO GET IT REMOVED. IT WAS A VERY CLEAR VOICE IN MY HEAD. UNDENIABLE. WHEN I WENT TO THE DOCTORS, THE DOCTOR DIDN'T WANT TO REMOVE IT....SINCE IT WAS RED AND VERY SMALL. THE DOCTOR WAS CONCERNED I WOULD HAVE A SCAR...I COULD CARE LESS... I HAD TO GET IT OFF. GOOD THING I DID...IT WAS MALIGNANT. THAT WAS TEN YEARS AGO. ON MONDAY MORNING I HAD THE SAME VOICE COME INTO MY HEAD... I IMMEDIATLEY CALLED MY DOCTOR WHO GOT ME IN THAT MORNING... THE MOLE THIS TIME WAS ON MY FACE... RELIEVED- HE TOLD ME IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FINE...A NORMAL MOLE. ALTHOUGH, HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT A BIRTHMARK WHICH HAD A MOLE INSIDE IT...ON MY STOMACH. THAT ONE WAS BIOPSIED ON MONDAY... WHICH INCLUDE A SHOT IN THE STOMACH AND THE SKILLFUL USE OF A RAZOR-BLADE WHICH ELIMINATED A QUARTER SIZE BIRTHMARK. (YES, IT STILL HURTS!)... FOR ME HOWEVER, THE WORST PART IS NOT THE PHYSICAL PAIN BUT THE BRAIN GYMNASTICS I PLAY.... YOU KNOW, THE WHAT IF GAME? I CALLED TODAY AND THE RESULTS JUST HAPPENED TO BE FAXED OVER WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE... ALL IS FINE. THANKS BE TO GOD. JUST A BIRTHMARK AND NORMAL MOLE. IF YOU SUSPECT A MELANOMA... DON'T THINK IT CAN ONLY BE BLACK. MINE WAS RED. IT LOOKED LIKE A SORE THAT NEVER HEALED. AND IT ITCHED. 95% OF MELANOMAS CAN BE CURED EASILY, WHEN CAUGHT EARLY. TAKE IT SERIOUS. ************************** IN THE LAST FEW DAYS I'VE BEEN ORGANIZING SCHOOL. MAKING GAMES AND DISECTING LIVING LITERATURE AND APPLYING IT TO HOMEMADE WORKSHEETS. I'M USING PRENTICE LITERATURE AS A SPINE... WITH SOME PRETTY FABULOUS LIVING BOOKS I PICKED UP AT THE LIBRARY BOOK SALE. I'VE ALSO CAME UP WITH A SMOOTHER PLAN- WHICH I HOPE WILL HELP WITH THE "WHAT DO I DO NEXT?" SYNDROME WE HAVE GOING ON HERE. STAY TUNED...I'LL BE POSTING THE GAMES AND PLANS HERE SHORTLY. ******************** I STOPPED AT SEVERAL GARAGE SALES TODAY... I FOUND A REALLY GREAT WINTER COAT FOR TOMMIE, A PAIR OF PANTS AND TWO SHIRTS. $7. I ALSO FOUND THIS PIANO STOOL...ALREADY PAINTED AND JUST NEEDED TO BE CLEANED UP. $5.
I ALSO PICKED UP THIS BIRD FEEDER FOR $2.00
YESTERDAY, I MADE POTATO-LEEK SOUP... IT WAS SO RICH AND WONDERFUL. I FOUND IT HERE--WHERE MOST OF THE SOUP RECIPES ARE FREEZABLE! http://www.cookuk.co.uk/soup-recipes.htm
I EVEN STUDIED UP ON SWISS CHARD. IT IS FREEZABLE! YOU JUST BLANCH IT FOR 2 MINUTES AND BAG IT! I CAME UP WITH SIX BAGS SO FAR. MY FREEZER IS GETTING REALLY FULL! SO IS OUR BELLIES!
ONE OF THE MOST SILLY THINGS WE ENJOY DOING IS.... PICKING DEAD BUGS OFF THE GRILL OF BRAD'S BIG KENWORTH TRUCK GRILL. WE'VE FOUND TONS OF UNUSUAL INSECTS, MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES! MOST RECENTLY, WE FOUND THIS BEAUTIFUL DRAGONFLY! IT'S BEEN ADDED TO OUR NATURE TABLE! I WONDER IF CHARLOTTE MASON WOULD COUNT THIS AS A NATURE ADVENTURE???
