Bumps be Gone...

Well I had both my cysts removed today...both were about marble size and required a few stitches in each. I will be going back next week to have those removed. It was actually a bit more painful than I had expected and still hurts tonight more than I had thought it would. But, they are out and hopefully in the end that will be a good change. I have had one of them forever...the other has grown and gotten painful over the past few years...so it was time. So, my bumps are gone!
Zach had a good day in school, got a good report from his teacher that he did well and was a good listener. Yeah.
Brandon and I spent the AM together after we dropped him off...we went to Super Walmart and stocked up on items to send him to his deployment....snacks, on the go drink mixes so he can add to his water...got a new web cam from his laptop...I realized I don't need one...my mac has its own built in...whoo hoo! Hopefully we can practice using that this week and get it down so we can use that when he is gone...that will help both the kids a lot to be able to see and hear him. It was nice to have some time together to get a few things...he went back to get Zach while I was getting scalped....then we headed home...
We are hopeful that things with the behavioral therapy we have been requesting will come together soon...sounds like he will be given a case worker through the county...spoke to the lady in Bakersfield today and she said we should he definitive news in a few weeks. Finally. I also got the name of someone about piano lessons. We are thinking about trying that with him. He has an insanely good memory and loves music. He was looking at sheet music the other night and telling us, "That is a whole note, that is a crescendo, that is a quarter note." It was crazy, he was right. We are also hoping to get the kids into swimming stuff even after the pools clothes, hoping the indoor pool will be accessible to us. I want to do gymnastics with Erin, but there are no times when they offer it on base that I can take her alone...I will work on that one and see if I can get help to watch Zach...it is a simple mom and me class, so nothing big...Just stuff to keep us all busy out here while Brandon is gone. The lack of friends to do things with is really what concerns me the most...I just want to keep us busy and hope that helps the time fly by faster.
Okay...I am off to soak in the tub for a bit and to bed!

Glad your bumps are gone. I'm sorry to hear it was a bit more painful than expected. Zach sounds like he is thriving in his new class, and if he already knows those things about music, I say for sure get him signed up for piano lessons. Wow!! The mommy & me gymnastics would be fun...I think that would be good for Erin...lots to keep you busy. I wish you had more "support" in way of friends there...
