Really good news!!!!

Today my son did the scan to his axilla to check on the node he had and it is a normal node, called reactive node. The doctor said it was great that the node swelled because it was a sign that the body was defending itself from an infection or inflammation.

The node has perfect size and it’s PERFECTLY NORMAL.

Dani continues with an undetected and painless node so I guess everything is back to normal. Just in case and once the exam is already scheduled, next week he will be doing the exam to check the node. For now I’m going to keep this subject closed. I’ll post about the exam results next Thursday or Friday.

  • Worried about my son. Hopefully the node will return to its normal state, but I already schedule the eco (scan) for July 3rd (there are no appointments available sooner)
  • The Noddy surprise was a real surprise. When I said I had a surprise they thought about everything but Noddy.
    School is over for Dani. The hard study and missing soccer classes gave good results and he really improved his grades.
  • Soccer classes and tournaments are over.
  • I might have sciatic nerve pain. The pain on my lower back is terrible (but nothing compared to the pain I feel for my son).
  • I’m not inspired to write and blog but I know I can’t give in to the pain and worries I’m going through. I now what a depression is and I’m doing trying my best to not let me go down.

Usually I cut my hair once or twice a year. I don’t have the patience nor the money to go to the hairdresser frequently.

Since October 07 that I hadn’t had an Haircut so yesterday it was the day, I had a totally different haircut. My co-workers, my son and daughter and my DH were amazed and said I looked like a different person, more beautiful and young. What can I say…I was totally flattered and happy with the compliments.

It’s amazing the impact a new look can have in our lives, it seems people look at us in a different way. Now I need to buy new clothes to match the look. :)

The funerals are over, my tooth removal needs another box of antibiotics, my pap smear test was postponed and I need to move on. Thursday it’s a public holiday, Friday I’ll be taking the day off and I hope to have 4 days away from office work.

I’m in real pain again, pain killer effect if going away. I have to take another pill and I’m going to bed now. The tooth hole and stitches look really strange and ugly.

I’ve reading all my regular blogs but no time to comments, I feel so guilty for not leaving a comments, but I prmise I’ll take some time soon to leave comments. Believe me I continue to read all of you.

Sometimes there are good news, fortunately, and regarding my old car issue it seems that my mechanic who happens to be my FIL can fix it. We have 5 more months to decide what we are going to do regarding buying a new car. We hope to get it fixed next week and I hope it will last fixed for a few more months.

I’m disappointed, after all the anxiety I went through because of the Pap Smear test, the doctor had to go to the ER and my appointment was postponed to May 19th.

Having a good RealRank on my blogs is an objective of mine, the problem is: where do I get the time to regularly update my blogs?

Being “what those that follow this blog already know” (full time worker, 2 kids, I do my own laundry, cleaning, shopping, etc) even with the help of DH, I’ve got little time left to write.

Since I started paid blogging, I have no time to watch TV or to read a book because all my “little” free time is to blog, to write posts, some paid posts, paid reviews and, guess what, I really like to blog even if I have to leave some other duties behind.

The money I receive for paid posts is not that much but it helps in the monthly bills and although I know I could make more money online, I have no time to research and optimize my blogs. I know keywords are important but when I’m writing I’m not thinking about them and therefore no special keywords are written.

I wish I could dedicate myself to blogging and have my full income from online money, but that’s not possible right now. I also know that continuing writing the way I am (not regularly) I will never get a good RealRank and therefore only a few opps are available for me. Also who wants to advertise in low traffic blogs?

My blogging future is, at this point, uncertain.

Sorry for those that visited this blog expecting new posts but life has been difficult for me.
I know I mentioned this several times before: full time job (leave home at 8:30, arrive at 19.10), two kids, cooking, laundry, cleaning, a husband that requires my attention and all the other stuff I have to do and remember.

Four blogs, yes 4,my blogspot one was supposed to be inactive for a while but guess what: I’ve been receiving linkpost to write there besides PU2B regular work. Blogspot blog is the one receiving more comments (probably because there is no spam filter in blogger) that’s why I’m now moderating the comments there. I really have to decide what to do, I already removed it from some social networks but I guess I have to remove it from linkworth and PU2B and lose a few dollars.

This blog was supposed to be the blogspot substitute due to all the “own domain” and “own hosting” dilema, but the truth is people keep coming back to the blogspot one. I guess I just have to “forget it” and keep up with this blog and the other two I have and where I love to write.

Another headache, I live in Europe and as you know we have the Euro currency. If you get paid 50$ for paid posts you receive 50$, when I get paid 50$ I receive now 31 Euros, two years ago 50$ meant 50 euros (+/-). These last months things got really worse and everyday they are getting worse, so this is another daily worry for me, I work hard with paid posts but each day that goes by I receive less.

Due to all the life, family, work, blogging events, I haven’t been feeling ok for a while, I’m a little depressed, fed up with my full time job, wanted to live from internet income but that seems impossible. The result is anxiety and a 20 minutes Tachycardia that almost took me to hospital on Wednesday. This is not something new for me but a tachycardia so long only happened 8 years ago, usually they last 15 to 60 seconds. I’m better now but still worried about the future.

Blogging is something I like to do and the extra money I earn is really helpful. Here am I now at 02.17 writing this post and already have some tasks assigned to write. Everyday I look for other sources of income. Europeans also have a disadvantage - no samples for us to review, no contests to participate, well…

I really like the blogspot blog but I really have no interesting things to write there besides paid posts so I guess I just have to stop writing there and forget about making money there. With time I hope to get more work for the others blogs.

This weekend was a tough one, I’m not writing about it now because it has pictures and bad and good news, events that hurt my heart but tomorrow or Wednesday they will be written.

I’m sorry Catherine for not being able to write a post on your birthday day (Saturday), you know mom was not ok!!.

I have so much to write, today and tomorrow I’ll be at home, but with the kids I already know time will be short.

As I had scheduled paid posts on my other blogs this one has been neglected. I still haven’t found a way to organize my paid posting in advance.

I haven’t been doing paid post on this blog because I don’t have time, the paid posts I have for my other blogs are enough to keep me busy for hours. Right now, I just have to find some quiet time during the weekend or even during the week to write those paid posts that are not personal, that can be written in advance. I know a lot of people do that, specially on weekends, I have to give it a try.

Personal posts, well…those have to be on the day, on the moment otherwise they aren’t real for me. For now I want to keep this blog personal, family, parenting related and those subjects for me, can’t be written in advance.

I spend a lot of time reading other bloggers posts and that also takes the time away from me, but I love to read and I can’t avoid reading my regular blogs even if it means no time to write my owns. How do you manage this?

I must confess, these last few days have been very tiring, I’ve been really busy at work and with personal matters to take care of, like ID card, medical report for Dani because of soccer training, an issue of my mother regarding electricity ( a huge account to pay), I have no time for myself, my life always spins around everybody’s life but mine. This last three nights I had to take a anti-stress pill so I could get some sleep because…I couldn’t sleep due to muscle pain, bone pain, all caused by stress and anxiety.

I’m feeling much better know and I hope I have a great weekend. A great weekend to you all !!!!
