Its been 2 weeks since my last day of work, so far I don't mind being home. I'm actually thankful for it as I really need the rest. I'm actually looking forward to the last day of school too. I need to take advantage of this "time off" and spend some quality time with my kids. Its been a trying time for all of us.
Greg and I have spent the last 2 weeks together and its been a lot of fun. We're not doing much of anything but my sides hurt from laughing so much - seriously, he has me in tears most days from the laughing!! At
times like this, I'm thankful he is home with me during the day - I would really loose it if it weren't for him!
My health update....still tired, the heat isn't really helping, and my body is achy! I guess this is what happens after a few rounds of chemo. I'm hoping the next one will be this bad. NO - you read correctly, I don't want it any worse and I'm almost 100% positive its not gonna be any better!! So, hoping for the same can only be better than worse - right?? I mean, realistically, I dread this, I don't like getting sick with a cold or fever - let only friggin cancer....ARGH!!!
I can remember being sick with a fever at my present job, little cry baby me was told I need to go home - I CRIED!!! I'm not supposed to get sick - I'm the mom - who's gonna take care of everybody if I'm sick - well, guess what?? They do a pretty good job by themselves - for a little bit. I'm still mom and in charge I will ALWAYS be :)
I have to say - I think I've done a decent job (so far) at raising my kids. They help(with and without complaining) they can usually get a quick meal together for themselves - even if its just a sandwich or some pizza bagels, but they have been really great - Sammy is one of my BIGGEST cheerleaders, always telling me how tough I am - how I'm gonna get through this - and I know she's right!! Without my support system, I may have been a little less tough...who am I kidding - I would be a mess!! But you have all been great - through your emails, comments on my blog, facebook comments, phone calls and those who are in my presence all the time (Greg, Robert and Sammy) I wouldn't have been able to be so strong. I thank each and everyone of you, no matter how you have made contact with me or my family, it means the world to me to know you are all out there - praying, hoping, sending well wishes my way and for my family!!
Thank you and as always, keep the prayers coming and never forget to smile!!!

One last thought - one of you could have mentioned the importance of spell check - my last blog was horrendous with typos!! Love you all anyways :)
