thigh update

So yesterday morning I rang the doctors bang on 8 o'clock and I got the engaged tone so I kept on ringing them and managed to get through at about 10 minutes past.

I was told that the only appointments they had that were left available was the afternoon and at 2.20 pm!  I was asked what I would be seeing the doctor about and told her about the indent in my thigh and she said "oh" so I said to her "its something a bit different for you".

As Evie normally has her nap after her lunch I decided to have my lunch at the same time as her and after I had changed her nappy and done the washing up I put her in her buggy so that she could fall asleep before we set off to go into town.

So I left our house just after 1 pm with Evie still asleep - we were just getting to one of the crossings as we were getting into town and I heard a little voice shout out "green man green man" and I looked down and sure enough Evie had woken up ;o)

When we went to Tumble Tots on Monday we were told that they would have a stand in The Meadows Shopping Centre (sounds much grander than it is) and that they have a prize draw to win a year of tumble tots sessions (so whilst I was passing through I entered the competition doubt I win but you never know) ;o).

So I saw the doctor and told him about the indent and showed him he prodded it and asked if it was painful and I said no and he said that it was just a loss of fatty deposits, and that I should come back if it gets painful, or if there is any swelling underneath it or if the indent turns into a cavern!

So that was a relief ;o)

thighndent

On Friday I noticed a dent in my thigh.  I showed it to James when he got home from work and he said that he thought that it had been from where something had been pressing into my leg (I told him that it had been there all day) and he doesnt think that it is anything to worry about.

I googled it (or rather because I use yahoo yahood it) and a few people have said that they have the same thing but no-one seems to know what it is.

But I keep thinking of Emma and the fact that she left going to the doctors too late, and I want to carry on being a bad influence on Evie ;o)

So I am going to call the doctors and make an appointment today.

This weeks Project Flickr is water...

...as it was absolutely pouring with rain I took a photo of the puddles outside ;o)

and then afterwards we got a double rainbow ;o)

swapsies

Yesterday I wasnt able to blog because James was fixing his work laptop for when he has to work from home, so I couldnt really complain!

Yesterday morning I did some toast for me & Evie...

...I buttered my slice (because I dont like the texture of butter and I like it to be all melted in) and I let Evie butter her own slice (with a plastic knife) while sitting in her high chair.

So I am eating my slice and Evie is eating her one and she sticks her hand out wanting my slice, so I gave it to her (thinking that she was only going to take a bite) and she ate most of it, so I ate her slice, and as soon as I tried to eat the discarded bit of my original slice she wanted to eat the rest if it! ;o)

re-monkey-ring

Evie was just finishing her breakfast and I called her a little monkey, and she then pointed to her head and said "one fell off and bumped his head"...

...she was singing Five Little Monkeys ;o)

Now we havent sang that song for a few weeks now (and it isnt in our usual repertoire of songs either) so I was surprised that she remembered it ;o)

So another song that I can sing with her now ;o)

raining wisdom

Yesterday as James was leaving for work he told me that heavy rain was forecast, so if I didnt want to come into town that would be ok...

...so yesterday morning I checked on yahoo weather and it said that there was a 40% chance of rain at 1 pm so I checked the 15 minute details and it said that it would start at 1.45 pm.

That meant that if I was really organised I could get home before it started to rain (in theory anyway).

So after Evie had finished her lunch of orzo pasta salad and her milky bar dessert and I had finished my skinny latte we headed home (after I had availed myself of the facilities that is).

We had just left the High Street when Evie said "lie back" meaning that she wanted to go to sleep, so I pulled out her raincover and my pacamac and put them on top of the hood.

And sure enough when we were three quarters of teh way home it started to rain, so I sorted out Evies raincover then put on my poncho ;o)

And I got home at 1.25 pm so the rain was about half an hour early!

all the way through

Yesterday morning after our breakfast(toast & shreddies for Evie and I just had toast) I was changing Evies nappy...

...and she was singing Miss Polly and I was expecting her to stop at the ratta tat tat bit but she carried on right to the end ;o)

So I tried to get her to sing it all the way through again but she wouldnt, and I tried again when James got home from and she wouldnt then either!

apparently...

...there will be a Dunkin Donuts opening here in sunny Chelmsford ;o)

Its a shame really that it wont be a Krispy Kreme as they would be our donut of choice (although sometimes all I fancy is a 17p ball donut).

Still I shall treat me & Evie to some munchkins donut hole treats when or rather if they do open ;o)
