Telling my little man...

Now that the plan is in place, it was time to tell my son that mommy has a boo boo. He was with his dad for two days, so I had time to think about things.

So tonight, I very casually told him that I had a boo boo and that while he is with his daddy I'm going in to the hospital to have the 'bad stuff' taken out.

He said "ok......then what?" and I said "I'll come back home and I'll ok." And he said "Ok" and as 6 years olds do so well....he moved on to the next subject!!! I am relieved.

On a side note - isn't it funny that 'boo boo' has the word "boob" in it???? LOL ;-)

Ok....I saw my Psychologist tonight. He's the best. I always walk away from his office feeling relatively "normal." Anyway, it's time to start taking better care of myself and move toward a healthy, active, focused, determined lifestyle. Yeah.....baby steps.....

Good night.
Doris

Doris, only you would connect boob and boo boo. Now you're making me LOL. Glad you're feeling relatively "normal" (whatever that is, eh?). Scrolled through some of your old emails and found a nice one of little man Jake. You should post it and show off what a happy guy he is. You are so lucky. My heart's with you, girl. As always...I'm here for you, ring me anytime. Nora

Hey Doris,
Mom and Dad called me the other night and told me about how you were doing. My families thoughts are with you and your son during this time. I don't have many memories of you with our family because I was so young, but the ones I do have are good ones.
