The count down in our home has begun ONLY 40 Sleep Until Christmas.... With that being said we are getting ready to change the theme of our school room and start decorating... at least the downstairs. Have my list of things that I need to get done. Still have to start my baking.. I think I may be able to work all the Christmas prep into some kind of school lesson for Rebecca. She has now reached her half way mark and completed her mid year reviews... I am so proud of my baby girl and all her hard work.

Rebecca is counting down the days until Uncle Colin is here. I am also looking forward to spending Christmas with both my brothers and my sister-in-law and this year we will also be joined by my niece and nephew which is something I am very excited about. This year Dad will not be home but mom will... Half the duo is better then none. I am looking forward to cooking the dinner... Now fingers crossed my foot will be close to healed and I won't be hobbling around to much.

Tickets have been printed for my Big Dinner and Silent Auction to raise money for Team Diabetes Canada and The Canadian Diabetes Association. I am getting more and more excited each day about all the the new year has in store.

The Next's weeks Lessons
Math: Capacity
English: More With Capital Letters

At least we know now right?

Early in the year I started having alot of pain in 2 of the toes on my left foot. After brushing it off for nearly 5 months I brought it to the attention of my Doctor who had it x-rayed. It turns out that I have a cyst growing on the bone of one of toes that was enough of a concern that the Doctor referred me to the Orthopedic surgeon to take a look. Today I finally got in to see him. A very quiet and professional man that told me it wasn't a cancerous tumor but was cause for concern because of its location. It's resting very close to the joint and growing closer to being on top of the actual joint. He said that it can lead to fractures as well. So after sitting down with him and looking at my options I will now be getting surgery at the end of the month. They will go in and remove the cyst, taking part of the bone, and then take bone from my knee and put it in the hole that would be left from the removal of the cyst. It's kind of scary yet re-leaving and somehow kind of strange and funny to think that part of my knee will be in my foot.
