So, I had to write my very first short story. We had to incorporate everything that we have learned so far. I have really been enjoying this class, so without further ado...
Here is my short story... please save all criticism til I can handle it, which very well may be never.
My Happiness
Doctor’s offices are always cold, Mary thought as she sits waiting in her son’s pediatrician’s office. She looks around the sunshine yellow room with paintings of happy trees and deer on the walls impatiently. She has been frequenting these offices a lot lately. Bradley caught some kind of virus a couple weeks ago and can’t seem to shake it. Only now it seems like it is getting worse; he started out with just the sniffles and a cough, now he is very weak, pale and extremely tired.
Mary is a single mom with just her one six year old son, Bradley. He is a very active boy, she takes him to soccer practice on Monday and Wednesdays and piano lessons on Thursdays he normally keeps her very busy but lately he hasn’t been doing any of these things. Mary is the librarian at Bradley’s school, it seems as though her life revolves around him, because it does. He is her happiness, the reason she gets up every morning. Without Bradley, there would be no Mary. She has no other family to speak of and very few friends.
Mary goes to help Bradley up on the table as Dr. Robins knocks on the door to enter the exam room.
“Hello again, Bradley, I would say nice to see you but not under these circumstances, huh?” Dr Robins smiles at Mary.
“Hi Dr. Robins,” Bradley whispers as he looks up. His brown hair looks even darker against his powder white skin. He has dark circles under his once bright blue eyes, but they have lost their sparkle since he has become so sick.
“How are we doing? Still not feeling any better?
“No, not yet, we are hoping you can help with that. Aren’t we, Bradley?”
“Yes, Momma,” Bradley whimpers again.
“Alright, well let’s take a look. Why don’t you lift up your shirt so I can hear that chest and heart,” Dr. Robins says as he puts his stethoscope in his ears.
Bradley lifts his shirt and reveals a dark purple bruise on his ribs the size of a grapefruit.
Dr. Robins looks at Mary,
“How long has he had that bruise? Do you know where he got it?”
Stunned by the bruise Mary shakes her head.
“I don’t know, it wasn’t there this morning.”
“Have you noticed any other bruises appearing?”
“Just one on his leg, he hit his shin on the coffee table the other day. I didn’t think it was that hard until I saw the bruise later that night.”
Dr. Robins lifted Bradley’s pant leg to expose the now greenish yellow bruise on his leg. He put his pant leg back down and walked over to the counter and started scribbling in Bradley’s file.
“Mary, I want to have some blood tests done, do you think you could take him over to the lab today and have those done for me?”
“Of course, is everything ok? Will this tell you why he has been so sick? Do the bruises have something to do with it?”
“I want to check his white blood cell count. I won’t know anything more until I get the results back. Head over there right now, and Mary, don’t worry.”
Mary sat in her dimly lit living room watching her son sleep on their old sagging sofa. She spent a lot of time doing that these days, as she anxiously waits to hear back from Dr. Robins with the test results. It has been two days since they took his blood; she thought for sure she would hear something by now. What worries her more is that Bradley still wasn’t feeling any better. If anything, he’s getting worse. He has been complaining of a stomach ache and won’t eat.
As Mary started to doze off in the rocking chair that she used to rock Bradley asleep in the phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Hi, can I please speak to Mary Thomas?”
“Yes, this is her.”
“Hi Mary, this is Jessica calling from Dr. Robins office. We have received the test results for Bradley, Dr. Robins would like to see you in his office, would tomorrow morning be ok?”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
He wants to see us in his office right away, this can’t be good, Mary thought as she put the phone down. She looked over at Bradley sleeping so peacefully and started to cry. He is everything to her and all she wants is for him to be ok. She can remember sitting in this chair when he was a baby singing and rocking him to sleep, and now she feels so helpless that she can’t do anything when he needs her the most.
Another cold brightly painted room, only this time it’s blue with jungle animals on the wall. Mary and Bradley didn’t have to wait long before the knock on the door came. Dr. Robins came in looking as crisp as always in his white coat and blue tie.
“Good morning. How are you feeling today, Bradley?”
“Tired,” Bradley said.
“I have the results of the blood work, Mary; do you think we could speak privately? I can have Nurse Jessica take Bradley to get a sucker and a sticker, if that is ok with you?”
“Of course,” Mary smiles at Bradley to let him know its ok.
As Bradley leaves the room Dr. Robins sits in his stool and opens Bradley’s file.
“Mary, I’m afraid we have some not so good news. Bradley has acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which is a cancer of the blood. I’m going to refer you to the best pediatric oncologist, but I feel like we caught this early enough and that treatment will be more than likely successful.”
Mary slouched into the stool next her and started to cry.
My baby has cancer; she thought to herself and put her head in her lap.
“I will take him where ever I need to, please give me the referral. He needs to get better, he has to be ok.”
“He will,” Dr. Robins assured her.
Well, that was it. 1000 words from me. Again, this was my first short story, hopefully over time they will get better. :-)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
So far I have really enjoyed my creative writing class. I have only done 2 assignments but I'm liking it.
We are supposed to keep a writer's notebook and write down converstations we over hear, things we think about, a song lyric you like, a list of things you think of, pretty much anything that sparks you. You might not use it now but later it could come in handy. I have been trying to do this. One of our writer's notebook assignments was to write a list of things in a woman's purse. I don't know if any of you have seen the size of my purse or the contents in it.. but I don't think they would be considered the regular conents of a woman's purse. lol I have just about everything you can think of in my purse on any given day. However it was a good exercise to get the brain moving.
October is finally here! I can't wait to get decorating for Halloween. This is by far my favorite time of year. I love fall.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE fall. I just wish I lived somewhere that had enough trees to turn colors and see leaves actually fall from trees. I know one day I will, when is the question.
So, Monster is doing the TBall thing. He had his first game on Saturday it was so fun! The kids were adorable and he had a blast. His actual words were, "Mommy, this was the best morning of my life!" Kids are so cute.
I have lost almost 20lbs.. I'm so close I can almost taste it. I want to work out so bad to get to that 20lbs, but I have a horrendous chest cold that is preventing me from walking from my couch to the bathroom without coughing. I really don't think that the treadmill or Jillian "the bitch" Michaels would be good for it either. I have a dr's appointment on Wednesday so I'm hoping to be back in work out shape by Monday! It's on, look out 20lbs I'm coming for you!
In 1 month and 3 days I will have been married for a year... :-)
Other than that.. life has been pretty normal. Hope you are all having a good week. Happy October!

The Assignment
I have completed my first creative writting assignment. A week late, but due to the arguing wtih the book store and financial aid I got my books about a week late. So, basically, to me.. I am right on track!
Our assignment was to retell something that happend to us from our childhood that changed us in 500 words, using concrete detail to help the readier visualize what you are telling. I'm not sure how this changed me, but it is something I remember from my childhood. Of course I probably embelished somethings, and added things or omitted things to make it more interesting. But here you go.
The thing from my childhood that I picked was when my sister was bit by our dog. I dreamt that I wrote about this last night. No joke. I woke up and could remember this paper almost word for word. So, I got up and wrote it all down. Then as I was reading it back to Kyle later I started crying. I don't know why it was strange. But, anyway.
Assignment 1.
I remember sitting in the dimly lit kitchen drawing at the table. My mom had gone to the store for ice cream, so it was just the three of us; my dad, sister and I. My dad was lying on the couch in the dark watching “This Old House”, again. He watched that show so much it had become background noise in our home.
He looked at me and asked, “Where’s Jessi?” Jessi was my two year old sister. “I don’t know”, I replied as I went back to my masterpiece at hand. My dad yelled for her from his worn in spot on the couch, “Jessica!” I looked up to see where she was going to come waddling in from, and nothing. My dad started to get up from his favorite show and I looked in the backyard. There she was happily galloping in the backyard wearing only her diaper.
Jessi wasn’t allowed to be back there without an adult. We had two dogs that weren’t very fond of her. A black and white Great Dane that was horse-like in size, named Tobias and a fluffy black Cocker Spaniel that we called Lacey. We bought the two dogs as puppies when I was about four. They were always great with me. But, Jessi came into the picture later and neither dog had ever been around a terrible two year old.
At the moment Tobias and Lacey weren’t bothered by her squealing giggles as she ran laps around the perimeter of their yard.
I looked at my dad, “she’s in the backyard.” He Jumped to his feet and ran to the door. I had never seen my dad look so scared. As he went out the door Tobias looked up and saw the happy girl running around. My dad got to her first and picked her up to bring her back inside. When Tobias caught up he jumped and latched onto Jessi’s tiny leg. He had her entire calf in his mouth. Jessi started to wail and I stood at the door in complete shock.
I could hear my dad calling my name, “Kassie! Kassie, I need your help.” He was trying to pry the dog’s mouth open to free my sister’s leg. I could see the blood running down his hands and outlining Tobias’s mouth like bright red lipstick on his white fur.
As he freed her leg he handed her to me, “Take her straight to the car and put her in her seat, and be careful.” I carried her into the house like she was a piece of broken glass, careful to not touch or even look at her leg. I got her buckled in and took my spot next to her in the car and waited. She had stopped crying and was sitting quietly. It was then that I finally looked at her wound. Her leg was open and I could see all the muscles moving and twitching like a bowl of worms. My dad calmly got in car and brought me a towel to wrap around her little leg. “We are going to the store to get your mom, then to the hospital.”

School, T-Ball and Pants that Fall Down.
I am enrolled in introduction to creative writing and psychology 240. Classes start September 13th. Woo Hoo... no freakin' math!! :-)
I'm excited to take both of these classes. I enjoyed psych 101 when I took it and did really good in it too. Let's hope that it's just as good taking it online.
Since, my feet are feeling better I am officially back on the work out train. I have to whip my butt in gear by October something or other for the 5k that I am doing with pretty much everyone now. It started out as something small and now I think there are like 5 other people doing it. I would feel really bad if I couldn't do it now, after getting everyone else involved. I'm sure I will be fine. I just have to seriously kick some butt. I shred last night for the first time in awhile.. and OMG. I'm sore today... but it feels good. I know I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and it's fabulous. Hopefully the scale will start going down agian and I will really start feeling good again. Luckily over the last month and a half hiatus I took I haven't gained anything. But, this last week... well, let's just not talk about the last week. It involved chocolate and ice cream, a whopper, french fries and some other wonderful foods that I am not eating again. I did however make some cookies that were on the WW website. I don't recommend them. They were more like chocolate chip muffins. Pretty disappointing. Especially when I was hoping for gooey chocolate chip cookies. But, I guess coming off of a diet website that was some pretty unrealistic expectations.
Monster is going to be doing Little League T-Ball coming up in September. We are really excited aobut that. I think it will be really good for him to be involved in something with other kids. I worry about his serious video game obsession. It can't be good for a kid his age to be so involved with video games and tv. Shoot, maybe Kyle and I will make some friends that have kids. It's kinda strange being the only one's with kids. Most people just don't understand what it's like. We can't go out to the bar every weekend, or hardly any weekends to be more realistic. I don't remember the last time we had a date night. It seems like whenever he isn't working and we have a babysitter it's for something. Someone's birthday party, or some sort of event involving other people. haha... and we want another one. I sound pretty ridiculous. I'm complaining about not having any us time because we have 1 kid and no babysitters.. and I want more. I guess it really isn't that bad at all. I'm just feeling whiney.
I must go and exercise my butt off now. I want all of my clothes to be too big. :-)

Friends and all that stuff
Friendship. A word known by everyone, experienced by most.
friend·ship
–noun
1. the state of being a friend; association as friends: to value a person's friendship.
2. a friendly relation or intimacy.
3. friendly feeling or disposition.
via: dictionary.com
I have been thinking about my friends, and friendships that I have, previously had or wish were still the same. I think as a girl it is harder to keep and make friends. I know people who are still close to friends that they had in school and it seems strange to me. Most of the friends I had in school have changed so much that I don't really even want to associate with them anymore. Crap, there are people that were in my wedding 10 months ago that I don't want to be friends with anymore. Maybe, it's just me. I don't know.
I just want friends that are good people. Think about others more than themselves. Maybe have a few good morals and values. I have seen quotes about how friendship isn't about being inseperable, it's about being and nothing changes. This is true. So true. I'm not the kind of person who can be around someone all the time. I need my space. I need time for me. I don't want to have to worry about my friend being upset because I didn't text or call them that day. I'm just not that kind of girl. I don't even talk to my own mom everyday. I probably wouldn't talk to Kyle everday if we didn't live together.
I don't have anything profound to say about friendship.. or particularly moving. It was just something I have been thinking about. And, looking at my wedding pictures today made me miss some friendships that I used to have. I believe everyone comes into your life for a reason. We had the friendship we had to learn from each other. Once that purpose was served you move on. But, that doesn't mean you can't miss it.
I do have a couple really close friends that I would be lost without. I am a social person 80% of the time. I like going out with a group of friends and having a good time. I think it is important to have friends in your life. They help you to be the best version of you that you can be. I truely believe this.
I love the girls that are in my life and I am thankful for them everyday.

I love you ladies. :-)
And yes, you would be correct in assuming we were at least 99% intoxicated in all 3 of these pictures.

I'm a Complete Slacker
Or.. maybe I'm not. So, I finished my classes and planned to take a month off from school. Surprise! I'm not. I will be taking a creative writing class starting September 7th. I'm actually kind of excited for this. I really think it will be fun and will help me to become a better writer. Which I definitely could afford to be!
One thing I have failed to mention on here, mostly because I think it is so gross, is that I have planters warts .. on my feet (mine aren't that bad, but still look diseased). Yeah, ouch, gross, disgusting and repulsive. I had to go to the Dr. today for treatment number 3 out of 6 and all I can think about is the fact that my foot hurts so bad. Which is why I am brining it up. Becuase, ow I can barely walk and it sucks that I can't go swimming with everyone else later. Yes, they are contagious. :-( I am way bummed.
I am down 17lbs! Awesome right?!?! Maybe you are sick of hearing about how much weight I have lost... but too bad! I am super de duper proud of myself. I can wear jeans I haven't worn in a really long time.I'm happy!
The last thing to update on is that we got rid of Z. I wish it was under better circumstances, but it was something that we had to do. For the safety of our other pets and selves. Bella and Zephyr got into a very nasty fight on Tuesday night. It was just Monster and I here when it happened. It was very scarey for both of us. Bella got hurt pretty bad and I had to take her to the emergency animal hospital to get her stitched up. When we got home Kyle called animal control to come and get Z. He was a very big part of our family for over a year and it was sad to see him go. We had done all we could for him, he listened better than he did when we got him but his anger and temper had only got worse. Z will be missed, but not the crazy angry Z. The lovable Z that would come and lay his head in my lap because he wanted me to pet him.

the one with random stuff that doesn't go together at all.
School is almost done. I have my finals tomorrow and Saturday. Then, I am taking a month off of school. I am thinking I wanna take english next semester and maybe a creative writting course. I'm really considering doing an english major.
I have lost 15.5lbs so far. Which I feel is a GIGANTIC accomplishment. I haven't worked out as much as I would like to lately, due to the most painful planters warts in the history of the world. But, I am going to get back on that ASAP! I have to continue training for the 5k in October. This is really setting me back.
Monster started 1st grade this week. He is really liking his new school. I'm glad, since he was REALLY bummed that he had to change schools. I know he is a friendly kid and will make tons of friends in no time. But, then again, I also know what it's like to change schools a lot. It's hard. I hated it. I think he is ok for now. I just don't want him to have to change again anytime soon.
So, I think that's all I have for tonight.
However, I have been thinking about doing this. I might do it when my wonderful husband gets me my new camera for Christmas. and do 365 days starting on Christmas. I thought is seemed pretty cool. :-)

I know he is a friendly kid and will make tons of friends in no time. But, then again, I also know what it's like to change schools a lot. It's hard. I hated it. I think he is ok for now. I just don't want him to have to change again anytime soon.
So, I think that's all I have for tonight.
However, I have been thinking about doing this. I might do it when my wonderful husband gets me my new camera for Christmas. and do 365 days starting on Christmas. I thought is seemed pretty cool. :-)
