Last comic standing

First of all I just wanted to say thanks for some of the most encouraging and kind words. It is so scary being vulnerable, sometimes you get roasted for it and sometimes super blessed.
So no news on the CT scan. I did call today. Actually I called friday just a few hours after it. I was thinking with the way technology is maybe they could just put the video on you tube and my doctor could view it from there. My estimations had the whole loading viewing and everything done in a few hours. Turns out not only do they not upload it to the internet but they don't even let it leave the university hospital. When I called today (which was the direction given by the receptionist on friday she said...I would call back on Monday) I found out the ENT I saw wouldn't even be in till wednesday. When I asked if they could tell me whether or not he was at his private practice, she sort of snort laughed at me and said, "I don't have his schedule here, his private practice is not affiliated at all with university hospital." Well excuse me... first of all when was that a weird question and second of all what is up with this "university hospital" talk. It's the mid-west. And not even the well known mid-west. More the middle of a corn field mid-west. So anyway I won't know till Wed.
So We just watched last comic standing which I have to say is pretty funny. It has inspired me to move to Hollywood and become a stand up comedian. I think I would go with the whole jokes exaggerated and made up from my own life. Mostly about the kids.
I will leave with a quick humorous monologue between me and one of my children. He will remain nameless only to save face when he is in his 20's and my blog is famous since well I am a famous stand up comedian in hollywood.
Picture this: me fast asleep in my bed (always a good place to sleep) Anyway I'm fast asleep and one of my kids (who will remain nameless) comes and crawls in my bed. I reach over to snuggle him and I discover he is naked. Here is our conversation:
Me: uggh why are you naked
Unnamed child: Because
Me: because why? where are your close
Unnamed child: I took them off and I pooped
Me: you pooped, you pooped where
Unnamed child: Mom I pooped in the potty where poop goes and I need you to check my butt and make sure I wiped good.
Me: if you need me to check your butt because you pooped then why you are crawling into my bed?
Unnamed child: yeah I thought we could snuggle first.
