Theodore


Ted is so freaking good to me. I have to say, of allllll my husbands, he knows how to deal with me very best. Even in those very small, few times that we are fighting, he doesn't really fight with me. Ted has all these crazy idiosincrasies that absolutely drive me INSANE - - one of them is that he likes to buy stuff. But, when he buys stuff, he'll buy more than one. When he comes home, he'll say "look what I bought you". Like he really bought it for me!! Ha ha ha!! One of the things he has bought in the past is lunch meat - deli sliced turkey, especially. So, yesterday, I came home to put groceries away, and there was absolutely no room in either of the two freezers we have stuffed full. I absolutely blow a gasket!! I start dragging stuff out. I start re-arranging. I start moving stuff around. There are probably a dozen packages of sliced turkey, three packages of bologna, ten packages of hot dogs. All great deals Ted has found. I finally get things re-arranged and the new groceries put away. I send him the following text message:

let me preface this by saying I love you...I adore you... but, I am putting my foot down!!! you are NOT allowed to bring home anymore lunch meats, sliced meats, hot dogs, etc until some of the crap taking up room in my freezer is thawed out and eaten!! I cannot fit the FRESH meats that you and I are supposed to be eating in the freezer cuz of all the other crap!! I love you!! and thank you!!

Know what his response is??? His response is "OK. XOXOXO". How do you even respond to that?? I just love that about him. I assure you, he's not a meek and beaten soul (cuz I kinda sound like a lunatic in that text message that just nags and harps on him). He just lets me rant and rave and deals with me.

Theodore - I love you!! Thanks for being the bestest husband in the land!!

    U know they do say the 8th husband is the best!! j/k.
    LOL, it's usually my hubby that is throwing crap out of the freezer cuz we haven't use it in a LONG time & he's sick of moving it. I do like to stock up on good buys of block cheese. :)

    And my hat goes off to that LONG text u sent him. I HATE to text. If I had to text all that u just did, I would of just dialed the phone. His reply, now, that is how I like to text. Short & sweet!

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...
