What's that thumping in my throat?

Another busy week here in the doghouse. Athletics season has taken a break, so our early morning starts aren't quite as early. TAKS test continue next week for both kids. We all know my feelings about that (see earlier post). Abate's most difficult one - Science is one of two he has to take, Fantu has Math which I think will be hers.

The kids and I have a 3 day weekend. I'm hoping to find some time to relax. Will I be that lucky?
Oh that would be nice to have a free afternoon, no cooking, cleaning, shopping, or garden work... can I only imagine?

Today after work I went to the Temple City Council Meeting, all Administrative Assistants that work for the city were invited to attend. We each received a beautiful long stemmed pink rose. The Mayor issued a proclamation declaring all of next week Administrative Assistants Week next week. While everyone else gets just a Admin's Day - we in the City of Temple get a whole week! Somehow though I don't think I'll notice a difference. It was nice though that my employer took notice - I think my last employer did something one year out of the seven I worked for him.

Anyone that knows me well, knows that I am a terrible sleeper. I don't even have to have something to stress over and I still will lay awake for hours. I do take something now which helps, but the sleepless nights still occasionally occur. Something tells me I am going to have a few sleepless nights ahead. Fantu called me into her room last night and told me she had a mole that was getting larger and was bothering her. I had her step into the light so I could see it better. It has become much larger, irregularly shaped, raised and a few color changes. My heart lept up into my throat. I knew what this probably meant. ABCDE (google it) This mole meets all but one of the criteria. I called the Doctor this morning - the earliest opening was next Wednesday morning - damn it she has TAKS test and cannot miss. Thursday morning then... Ok.... A week... Heart in my throat for a week - I've been through worse. I just hope this just turns out not to be as stressful as those were. Prayers for Fantu please.
