Ok, so I had a niggling feeling last night that my period might start four days early, effectively canceling the LEEP I am supposed to have today. I was right. What made me think it would start early? Oh, the pint of ice cream and intense craving for carbohydrates, probably. I was a carb-eating machine yesterday. Since The Tot was born, I have very few PMS symptoms but carb-cravings definitely tops the list. Unfortunately, the list is rounded out with cramps and fatigue. But, all-in-all, I’d say I’m pretty lucky as far as that kinda stuff goes. No fire-breathing dragon mood swings or soreness, which is nice for all of us here at Casa de Tater Tot.

The good thing about canceling the LEEP again is that my mom doesn’t have to drive two hours in the nasty, windy, raininess that we’re having here in Southern California right now to sit with The Tot. The bad thing is that I have to wait again and psych myself up all over again the next time. Blech. I am grateful that the biopsy came back normal and this is just a recommended procedure to take the abnormal cells off or I’d be freakin’ out a little bit.

I have decided that I deserve a day off. How exactly am I going to accomplish this? By changing my mind set. The laundry can wait. The dishes can wait. There are no errands that can’t wait until tomorrow. I’ve got a frozen pizza that’s calling our names for dinner. There are several episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba on the Tivo. And Charlie Brown Christmas on the CD player. It’s going to be a nice, relaxing and cozy day at home today. Famous last words? I hope not.
