A Wuss? I don't think so...

So it was recently brought to my attention by my son's soccer coach that he thinks my son is a wuss. A wuss? Yeah, ok. So maybe he's not as aggressive as some other players and maybe, just maybe when he gets hurt he stays flat on the ground for an extra minute or two, and maybe he doesn't push opposing players back when they push him. But a "wuss" - I don't think so.

I wanted so badly to tell this coach that his definition of a "wuss" is obviously different than my own. After all, this is the kid who went through 2 1/2 years of chemotherapy, spinal taps, bone marrow aspirations. This is a kid who's childhood was basically robbed from him - as he fought a very courageous battle against a form of childhood cancer. And this is is a kid - who saw death all around him with the various kids at the clinic succumbing to their illness, while he was fighting for his own life.

A "wuss"? No - I think he's one of the most amazingly courageous, tough, brave young men you'll ever meet in your life.

Monday's List Of Things That's I'm over

This is my Monday's list of things I'm over for today:

1. The fact that the bottoms of my feet are so damn rough & dray and scratchy! No matter what lotion I use and how much I apply, my feet are still hideous!
2. The sore throat that's been trying to beseige me for the past 3 weeks
3. My boss's attitude - UGH!
4. Despite the fact that I ate way too much food yesterday for Easter Dinner, I'm still ravenously hungry
5. The weather. WTF is up with this hot one week, cold the next? It's April for Christsake - enough with the 20 & 30 degree weather!
6. My job. Not much to say here, other than for the most part - I hate it!
7. Restaurants that insist on placing a piece of a pickle with every meal they serve. If I wanted a side of "pickle" I'd order it dammit! I HATE PICKLES!
8. Grocery store coupons - I'm sick and tired of every damn coupon I've been clipping lately offering 75 cents of 2 items - damn - that's not worth my time and energy to even bother clipping it. I'm looking for coupons that will allow me to get something for next to nothing!
