Zachary is a STAR!



Zac was star of the week this week at preschool. I was invited to go and see his little presentation at preschool. His preschool is probably the coolest thing in the land, they are so good there. Anyway, it was field trip day, and his presentation started off their day. KayeLynn and I went and met Crystal, Brandon, Zac and Chelsea there. When the kids get there, they need to go to the bathroom and wash their hands first off before going into class (how smart is that??), then they all go sit in a circle on the floor. His teacher is Miss Terry and she stood at the class with a poster board of all of Zac's favorite things. His favorite number is five. His favorite planet is Neptune and that's because his favorite color is blue. She asked all the kids to name Zac's favorite things. So freaking cute - they go through the list of his favorites and call out the answers. THEN, my favorite thing of all, the kids then go one-by-one and give reasons why they like Zac. Here are some answers:

He is kind

He is nice

He plays with me

He plays gentle

He is courageous

He is creative

He has a good imagination

And my all time favorite: He plays pirate superheros with me

These are four and five year olds. How freaking cute is that!!! After that cutest of all time thing, his family gets to give why they like Zac. Zac gets to choose who is first. He chose his mom, then his dad, then me, then KayeLynn. It was pretty cute to watch the teacher when she had him introduce us. "This is Coco, this is BooBoo". Obviously, we don't have the most traditional titles in our family. Ted would probably be the most traditional with "Papa", then Crystal is "Kisso", then James Rodger is "Raja or Jaja".

I had the best day today with them. The part of being a mom I always loved was watching my kids grow and learn, to see what they became in their lives. Now, I get to do it as "Grandma Coco". It's crazy to think how big they are getting. Zac will be in kindergarten next fall and Chelsea will be taking his place at the Cooperative Preschool.

P.S. Look Crystal, I called him Zac!!

CoCo's Journey - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...
