Normalcy!!

It is so nice to feel some normalcy for the first time in quite awhile!!  I have spent the past several weeks being either anxious, overwhelmed, tired, sick, or in pain!  Friday night I finally felt like my self again.  Unfortunately this is only temporary because my 2nd treatment is Tuesday.  At least I know what to expect this time around.  My hair will probably start falling out this week...little nervous about that. Until then...I am going to enjoy being normal...okay...okay...no comments necessary!!!

Today is our 12th year anniversary...WOW...time flies...did I mention what a lucky, lucky man Jr is??!!!  Tomorrow is my Bubby's 11th birthday...another big WOW!  Man I am getting old.  We had a nice family day today with the Lintz's and the Hurst's!  My mother in law cooked up some incredible Korean dishes...yummmmm!

Looking forward to tomorrow.  We are doing a 5K for the Cure walk with my 5th graders.  The proceeds will be donated to Cancer Family Care.  It is a nonprofit organization that helps families battling cancer.  You can read more about the organization at http://www.cancerfamilycare.org/.  My godmother, Kathy Shroder, is also on the CFC board.  Most of us will be wearing pink...we tie-dyed pink shirts...so cute.  A wonderful parent had 1 breast cancer bracelet and 1 pedometer donated for each student!  Another great parent also donated 300 bottles of water!  My awesome dad is buying 35 pizzas for the walk.  Sheri Blessing (our secretary) called around to neighborhood stores and got donations for prizes and gifts for the students.  She also purchased popsicles for the kids.  It should be a lot of fun...let's just hope the rain holds through the afternoon.  My students' interest and relentless support for me and the fight against cancer has moved me such a great deal!!  It is a wonderful thing when you are able to turn a difficult situation into something positive!!  Great life lesson...I hope its positive effects are contagious!

Good night...well needed rest for tomorrow!
