Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

RTT~ Scars, Lung-age, and the High Jump

Got up at 5am yesterday morning and drove to Raleigh. Day Light Savings sucks. My brother's surgery was postponed from last week to this week and he feels like dirt. To repair two herniated discs in his neck they went through the front. They had to move all the parts in the middle out of the way to get to his spine. Not sure how that makes it easier but it does make for a pretty cool scar.

(warning: gross picture coming up)



I haven't seen a cut like that since a boy I knew skated over the throat of another boy I knew. Makes him look tough, right? That's what I keep telling him.

Hubster is losing his mind, literally. He can't remember anything lately and I hope the doctor's get it figured out 'cuz he's about to make me go mad.

Doctor's can now use a spirometer to quickly check the "lung age" of their patients who smoke. Really? As if getting old isn't enough you now want us to know the age of our internal organs? I'll pass.


We always pre-mix our salads for Girls Night In. Why does it taste so much better that way? I can't eat my salads any other way now.

Both kids had some sort of stomach virus on Friday night. It lasted long enough to keep us parents up but had no lingering affects on them. They were up and ready to play at 6:30. It left me contemplating anything I put into my mouth. Imagining it coming back. I ate very little.

When I was in Junior High (We didn't have middle school.) Someone (I have no idea who) made me believe it would be a good idea to high jump. I sucked. One girl on the track team was REALLY good and no one else wanted to do it. I said "sure". While I was awful at the sport, I assure you I never did this.

  1. Glad your brother made it through the surgery OK - that is one wicked scar!

    I'd be hesitant to eat much after dealing with barfing kids, too.

    That video was hilarious - I was never good at the high jump, either - but never that bad! ;)

  2. He can compare scars with Jim. His is huge horseshoe shaped on his melon. Your brother's will look like a fold as he ages :}

  4. Sure hope he's feeling better after the surgery. That is a pretty nasty looking scar. I'm sure he'll wear it proudly.

    Happy RTT!

  8. Hey I live near Raleigh. Well sort of, anyway. I'm over in Chapel Hill. That scar was a very shocking thing to find when I clicked the link that led me here! Hope he recovers soon.

  9. That is some scar! That's weird that they went in from the front, talk about taking the scenic route! I think us Mom's lose at least 5 lbs when our kids have stomach bugs!

  10. The rapid heartbeat isn't uncommon with pot smoking. It's also common to have panic when high on weed. The down side to that is that for awhile, every time you try to get high it happens again. This sounds like what you're describing.

  11. My mom has a matching scar from surgery on her thyroid - it will blend into throat creases over time. :)

  12. I put a warning. Hope no one found it offensive. Thanks for the well wishes. He's doing better and claims his neck doesn't hurt at all.
