First of all...

OK. I was told that technically I am an intermediate in karate and not a beginner. So sorry MARTI!! (Ms. I am an awesome BLACK BELT!!) :-)

On a different note, I had a kid tell the assistant principal today that he wished I was dead! Isn't that peachy?! That added to my week and it is only TUESDAY! To top that off, the Rangers are losing right now to New York 9-0. As Charlie Brown would say, "Good grief!!"

I also found out today that I have to do an "abbreviated" radiation treatment for the thyroid cancer I had in August. Apparently, my first endocrinologist didn't do the required scan to make sure it was all gone, and now my symptoms are back. I will do all of this the week of June 11. That means I can't help with VBS at my church since I can't be around children that week. Usually April has been the month where bad things happen to me, but I am thinking May might take over that distinction.

OK. Enough venting! I guess I should be thankful for what I do have: a great family, two awesome dogs, good friends, a job that pays the bills, a roof over my head, food in my kitchen (even if it is full of calories!), clothes to wear (we should ALL be thankful for that!), a sound mind (for the most part), and good health. I know I could go on and on. So, I guess when I am feeling sorry for myself, I should sit down and list my blessings. There are always people out there who are in worse shape!
