Outback Special.

By -
We had such a productive day here in Alaska. Autumn and I decided it was time to do a little spring cleaning (although it does not feel like spring at all!). Autumn loves being outside, so when I told her she was going to help me clean the garage, she said:

Photobucket
Yeah right lady, you're crazy!!!

Before.
This is what it looked like at the start.

After
This is what it looked like three hours later. Not a huge difference I know, but I got rid of a lot of junk and swept all that dirt off the garage floor. I got rid of the old plants (that I accidentally killed during a bout with minus 20 degree weather) and Autumn was having a blast playing with it all.

Planter Autumn.
Autumn's version of tilling the soil.

Dirt picker.
Checking the dirt for dirtiness.

Something Autumn is getting very good at (even better than me):
Ice walker
Ice walking.

We did some walking around our neighborhood to soak up the beautiful sun. Someone was following us though and Autumn just couldn't stop looking back at them.
Shadows.
Hurry Autumn, maybe you can catch it. She kept bending down, trying to touch it. She looked confused when all she could feel was the pavement.

After nap time, Autumn and I met Cindy, Travis and Dylan over at the Oasis.
Snack time.
Autumn and Dylan had snacks. Then Cindy, Travis and I escorted Autumn and Dylan on a date to the Outback Steak House.

Outback pasta.
Autumn had fettuccine pasta with scallops and shrimp. She really enjoyed it and so did I.

I am ready for bed. I am feeling a little under the weather. I plan to put a call in to the doctor tomorrow and I am hoping like crazy I can get an appointment this week. On another note, Autumn still has not nursed (two days now). That seems to be done. It is such a relief. I love Autumn dearly, but I am glad to close that chapter of my life, no regrets, no sadness. Now I need to make a date with Victoria's Secret!!!!

So as usual, I will close with the count, but I could not decide for the life of me which photo to use, so I'll post both. I love you much Sean James. Do well in school tomorrow.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
