Wanna Play Doctor?

I had several Dr. appointments last week. Since I have summers off I try to schedule them all at once. I began therapy for my foot. It seems to helped somewhat. The only uncomfortable part so far has been the ice massage. Ice applied to your bare skin is very unsettling. Cold, then pain, then numbness.
I also had my mammogram. The sweetest technician called me back when it was my turn. She spoke so softly and smiled to kindly. Well, let me tell you....looks can be deceiving! She smashed the hell out of my boobs! She had to keep repositioning me because it was so uncomfortable. I told her something was stuck in my armpit and she started laughing! She had to sit down for a minute to pull herself together. Meanwhile here I am, standing bare-breasted thinking "what the hell is so funny". She said it just made her giggle the way I said it. I almost asked her "when I smack you upside the head, is that going to make you giggle?" When she finally gained her composure, she had one more final squeeze and I got the hell out! Damn!
THEN...the next day I went for my gynecological visit. I have been seeing the same doctor for almost 20 years...he is as "hot" now as he was then. I dread going to the appointments. Not because of the exam, but because of how cute he is. It gets me all undone to look at him. My stomach turns and I get sweaty palms and armpits when I approach his office door. He always spends a few moments with you in his office to "chit-chat" before going into the examining room. I say as little as possible for fear of sounding unworthy of him. His exams are quick and no-nonsense yet very proficient. And when he is through, he always, ALWAYS, gives me a hug good-bye....in my paper gown and all!!!! I LOVE HIM!
Okay, enough talk of "him", I'm feeling worn out!
I still need to schedule my dentist appointment...somehow that experience is just not the same.

This Breaks My Heart.....

The following is the latest on the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann. I think of this child everyday and can't imagine the horror her family is feeling. Unfortunately, their story is not unique as child abduction seems to be a part of our society. So sad. I pray for her and pray that her family gets some answers soon.

Dutch Newspaper Receives Anonymous Letter

THE HAGUE (AFP) - A Dutch newspaper said Wednesday it has received an anonymous letter giving details of where to find the body of missing toddler Madeleine McCann.

The four-year-old toddler disappeared from the hotel room where she and her two-year-old twin siblings were asleep in the southern Portuguese resort town of Praia da Luz on May 3.

The De Telegraaf daily said the letter was similar to one it received last year which had indicated with some accuracy the site where two missing Belgian girls' bodies were discovered at the end of June.

De Telegraaf did not publish the letter but handed it to Amsterdam police who described it as "important", the paper said Wednesday. The letter is due to be passed on to Portuguese investigators.

Is It True?

I can't believe it has been nearly a month since I have posted. Where has the time gone? Is it true that absence makes the heart grow fonder....be honest now!!:):)
Nothing extraordinary has been happening, it has just been a busy time. The end of the school year always brings about extra obligations. All 3 of my babies have finished out the year with flying colors and I now look toward the 07-08 school year with a 7th grader, a sophomore, and a junior. Man!
Andy (my junior) is interested in Ohio University...so I told him we would take a ride this summer to check out the campus...it's all very exciting!
Collin is playing basketball and conditioning for football. Everyday he shows me how much bigger his muscles are getting! We just let him get his ear pierced. G. was against it at first but I coached Collin on how to present his story and argue his point and it worked out in his favor...I have to admit it does look cute!
Ms. Molly is 12 and loving life. Swimsuit shopping was a battle but we managed to survive it...much harder than C's ear piercing!
As I write, we are on vacation. Spent 4 days in Panama City and now 4 days in Bradenton Fla. with my brother and his wife. I love the beach...my Dad loved the beach...I always feel closer to him when we're here.
Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of their summer...what joy that it is finally here!
Peace.
