Well today started very early with the plumber and then an interesting interview with a lady I met at Bloomingdales in the lingerie department while looking for gowns for Janeen that button up the front. I've looked in every catalog and store and did find two at Bloomies in black and white. Janeen has already seen the gowns I ordered from catalogs, one yellow and one peacock blue only to comment, " mom you know I don't do color". I couldn't help but crack up but she later called and apologized. This is our life now. OK, back to Bloomies. This lady, Thelma immediately took to me and my sister and so we told her Janeen's story. She said, " I want to come help you and your daughter ". This morning I hired her and she will start this Friday. Now if that is not divine intervention I don't know what is, as I had hired 2 ladies two weeks ago who stood me up for 2 weeks and never would return a phone call. Maybe the house or I scared them but if so I don't need them around us anyway. Thelma is a sweetheart and a talker but I do have plenty of duct tape on hand at both houses. Her main duties will be helping me with Janeen and Jack once we come home as I am confident I will not be able to do this by myself. My handyman told me today Janeen was crying yesterday because she has placed such a burden on me. She hasn't placed any burden on me she was born with this BRCA 2 gene, it is not her fault. Janeen is going to learn the true meaning of "letting go". The only thing she can control is her attitude during this journey. She will learn how to Trust for perhaps the first time in her life and love herself just the way she is and will be after her surgery. God don't make no junk....and she is beautiful on the inside as well as the outside and after Sept. 12, 2011 nothing will change. God made her just the way she was meant to be and she will learn to embrace His gift.
On a lighter note: Ladies have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are used to define bra sizes? It is now time for you to be informed.
A Almost Boobs
B Barely there
C Can't complain
D Dang..............
DD Double dang...
F Fake
G Get a reduction
H Help me I've fallen and I can't get up!
Oh, we can't forget the German bra: Holtzemfromfloppen
A little humor is good for the soul. Hope you got a chuckle out of this. I now must get to my office.
Ciao, Barb
What Janeen is feeling is normal but its just fear right now. Fear is very powerful, but feel the fear, and then do it anyways. Move forward and stay positive. Most have NO IDEA as to how you are feeling Janeen, but we all love you and care. You are going to get through this with flying colors and love a happy life with Jack and your family.
ReplyDeleteLove the BOOB SIZE insert. Very funny.
I love you MOM and you too JANEEN. Yes, you too little Jack.
