Thanks for checking in, everyone. Unfortunately, I know basically nothing from the mammo. Said I'll get the standard 'card' in 3 - 5 business days that will tell me if I need to come back. UGH!!! I hate the waiting, but I'm assuming all is well since I had an ultrasound in October and things were fine.
I heard back from DD's core teachers and both said her missing school was no problem, so we will go to FL. I'll check with choir & 'pathfinder' (the find yourself class) as a formality, but it was the AP classes that we needed to worry about. I'm really looking forward to the break, even though it will be a quick trip. Hopefully my brother who lives in Naples & is a big wig at FGCU will be in the country and we can go see him. We've never been to his home since he moved to FL several years ago and I know DD would love to see all his critters. He has a collection of living 2 headed animals, several endangered species and more critters than you could imagine living in his house. He's an ornithologist and his wife is a herpetologist, plus he's the govt advisor for the wildlife and NASA, on the president's environmental council & all sorts of other governments environmental stuff including Castro's. He's pretty famous in many circles and DD just adores him! I remember as a kid ( he's 20 years older than I am) he had a galapagos turtle as a footstool (alive of course) and a great snowy owl that lived loose in his house, as well as a couple of penguins!
I haven't been to the gym since Monday and am frustrated, but with hauling DD to school (her bus now comes at 6:15 a.m., getting to school before 6:45 for a 7:32 start), hauling DS20 to/from work and DS17 to/from work (too cold for me to have him ride the cycle), I'm not getting much done.
Yesterday my scale was down just over 2 lbs from last weeks WI, today it's up those 2 + 2 more, so I have no idea what to expect tomorrow. I'm just hoping to maintain and actually make it to WW since it's to be another really cold morning and I'll be hauling all 3 kids again. Friday is 1 year since I rejoined WW this time. But this time I actually haven't joined & rejoined several times over the year. I still haven't made 10% this time, but I'm getting closer. Hopefully before FL!!
DH is at his first Cardiac rehab session. They finally figured out insurance and he really can go only a few times and follow their plan at the gym we belong to just up the street from our house. MAYBE he will go since it's convenient.
Max is suddenly very interested in Mia. It seems a bit late at day 15+ in her heat, but who knows. I'm not sure he's 'done the deed', but time will tell. I've had to make them sleep in their pen in the kitchen the last 2 nights as it's really hard to sleep with all his 'heavy breathing'. Poor little guy - he's determined and won't eat or sleep. He's lost almost a pound of his 3 pacing and trying. Won't be able to tell for about 6 weeks for sure.
for your DH.... Will the doctor talking with him help at all?
Please be careful though! 
Any advice?
I hope you get in for your annual next too without too much hassle.
Julie,
Having to make up the days at the end of the year would have been. tough... Mentally, we would have all been on summer vacation already!
I hope everything works out for your Florida trip!
