Followed by all the kids barging in 30 seconds later but at least we can be lazy for a while.
Do you ever question your sanity around weekend sports? 😅

Vacation glow: gone
Laundry pile: thriving
Will to rejoin society: non-existent 🫠
Do you get trip hangovers too?

And then there’s the creepy toys that go off at random times 👀
Do your kids ever scare you? Mine especially love to silently creep up behind the couch after bedtime and just wait til we jump scare 😳
1. Their love of light switches: this love paired with their stealthy silence and inclination to wake up at 2am clearly inspired a paranormal parent

2. Whatever this: call it superhuman flexibility or child-like bouncability- their bodies can survive back-breaking positions and they love nothing more than to test them out in horrifying ways. Parent writers of The Exorcist, The Ring and countless more counldn’t escape this one.

3. Their imaginations: having tea party, cool. Sharing a room with an imaginary friend…is it cute and cuddly or terrifying? And why are they always in the corner 👀

4. The propensity to puke…and miss: we’ve all been there…The Exorcist parent just decided to write about it…🤢

5. Their general creepiness: how are they so quiet and why, goodness gracious, WHY?! Do they just stand there until we sense them and have a minor heart attack? Why do they say eerie things out of no where? How do they always know the moment I sit down?! They’ve got a sixth sense for sure…

And this is why we wait until the 11th hour to make and/or buy a costume 🥕💀
How many costume ideas have your kids had this year (and many of them have been K-pop Demon Hunters)?
I think our 7 year old is on her 12th.

Justin likely has cancer but let me start from the beginning.

In May, he had what seemed to be a bad case of food poisoning.

Then it happened again in July, but much worse: the severity of the pain and the length of time. A couple days later, he admitted to me that he felt like he was dying, at which point, I immediately sent him to urgent care.

He told them that the pain would start in the upper middle of his belly and then travel down to his lower right side + some nausea & hot flashes. They said it was likely his appendix, but that antibiotics may be enough. They did blood work which showed an elevated white blood cell count. They put him on THREE antibiotics and suggested he get a CT scan.

Our insurance denied the scan, but Justin got it anyway. Thank goodness.

By the time he got in for the scan his appendix looked fine, but they found a large mass (the size of a fist) on one of his kidneys. Mind you, these results went to his inbox days before we heard from a Dr. Why they do that I will never understand. I also find it funny that they refer to normal/healthy organs as “Unremarkable,” but I digress…

We then assumed these “episodes” he experienced were somehow related to the mass. Lots of worry, waiting, several doctors, more waiting, and more tests later, we walked into The Levine Cancer center. That was surreal and incredibly painful. The C word is terrifying.

His Dr, also Justin, is wonderful. At the appt last week, he reassured us that while there is a high likelihood that this is cancer, it doesn’t appear to have spread, and he doesn’t believe that it is aggressive.
My Justin will have a partial nephrectomy to remove the mass and a large part of his kidney (hopefully not all of it, but if they must, at least his other kidney looks clear). They will then do pathology on the mass to see how often he’ll need to come in for scans. His surgery is set for the middle of October.
