Well, I can't let it all be just about the kids........

I have told stories about my kids - and their not so gracious, best moments. So, I will tell a couple of stories about myself. Some of you probably already know these stories - so sorry!! When I taught POST classes, I always started the week and had them do an introduction and in that there had to be a "most embarrassing moment". I am an equal opportunity story teller and to make them feel better, I always tell them my favorite most embarrassing moments. Now, I've told you how I fall down and some things like that - but, here are my most embarrassing moments that I like to tell:

#1 - A long, long time ago, back in my old house I was sitting there when my daughter, Crystal came in the house. She was laughing, hysterically might I add and couldn't talk. Now, let me background this by saying, I am one of those people who wear their jeans more than one time. The second time you wear your jeans is when they fit just perfectly - the point when they are stretched and are just right. So, back to Crystal laughing to the point that she has to crawl up the stairs. She comes in and asks - "why are your underwear out on the front sidewalk?" Well, ya see, sometimes that first time you take your jeans off, sometimes you just take everything off - including your panties, underwear, underthings, undergarments, or your fat parachute granny panties (that's me). And then just sometimes, when you put those jeans back on, you forget about those fat parachute granny panties that have now wadded up and are in the leg of your jeans. And then just sometimes, those panties, through your daily movements and joustling, end up making their way down - until they reach the front sidewalk. And then, your beautiful daughter sees them and laughs hysterically at you because your fat parachute granny panties have ended up on the front sidewalk.

#2 - When Rodger went off to school in Wyoming, I was pretty distraught. I don't know why it affected me like it did, but, I cried on and off for couple of days prior to hauling his butt off to Rock Springs for college. Well, the day before going, I was making a huge barbecue meal for the family and some of his friends. I had to go to the store to pick up some things, so I headed off to the neighborhood Walmart. KayeLynn was with me and we went through the store and picked up what I needed. We are standing in line and I decide I can't wait anymore and I have to go to the bathroom!! So, I give instructions to KayeLynn and I head in and do my business!! Whew!! When you get old like me, you have to go when there is an opportunity. So, when I exit the stall, I have a sudden realization - there are urinals in the bathroom. AHHH - CRAP!!! I am in the MEN'S room!!! So, I don't even stop to wash my hands, I hurry and rush out. Luckily there aren't any men in there!! Only, to run head long into a man that is entering - OOPS!! Don't know what he was thinking as he came in and saw me coming out - guess I never will!!

So, there is my moment in the sun - and a couple of my moments. I know there are even more embarrassing moments, but they are probably not suited for this - and I really doubt I want you to know about them!!

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...

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...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
