My mom is awesome and has officially been given a new "title". She can go ahead and retire from her 3-day-a-week job...I have been big plans for her! I am promoting her to my personal "blog master boss." Now, I know that there are stretches of time that I do not sign in and write to you all, but I have a very busy life. Between treatments, the housework, and the kids and their schedule...it just doesn't all fit in. I know that me and my blog are very important to so many of you...as my mother reminds me DAILY...and you want to know what is going on. "Dani, you need to put your story out there...tell your story...people want to know what's going on...Dani, there are people that look forward to your blog every day...Hey Dan you never know, maybe you can write a book someday...etc...etc...etc" Now...do NOT get me wrong...her persistence (some may call it nagging) does not get on my nerves...it actually cracks me up. She doesn't quite know this...BUT...I play a little game everyday...I try to guess the time I will hear from her reminding me to "post EVERY day...don't forget." SO...I think she should quit her job and be in-charge of my blog...you know...scheduling sessions...etc...What do you think?? I am sure Christy Hoskins will have a comment or two and will agree with my mom.
I had treatment #3 today...getting closer and closer to the finish line! My sis in law, Lauren, picked me up and kept me company during my session. We talked a lot and time blew by very quickly....THANKS SIS!! Everything is going well this afternoon and evening...the only side-effect right now is lack of appetite and I am very thirsty...I sometimes feel I am morphing into a camel. My oncologist felt my lymph node in my armpit and noted some positive changes in it's size, shape, and mobility. I think those little creatures have had enough of me!! I told you they would be screaming to get outta there...shut up Christy...Amy C...Cary...I can already hear you laughing!!
Tara brought us some delicious BBQ pulled pork, chips, and Jr's FAVORITE mac-n-chz!! Yummy....and thank you VERY much!! Melissa is bringing dinner tomorrow...BUT the best part is...she is CLEANING my house...YES, YES, YES!!! Talk about making my day...hell... my week! Then the Commins will be here Thursday.
I worked on rearranging my rocks in the front/side yard. I think it's therapeutic...my mom thinks it's crazy!! I want to do the ones in the back tomorrow. Junior trimmed bushes. We are a little behind in the yard work...but I made sure to get a doctor's excuse. I have been very good about controlling my OCD when it comes to the house and yard...trying not to get under Jr.'s skin...it is hard to believe...but I have often earned the title "slave driver" a time or two...BUT...and this is a big BUT...I DO a very good job of getting my hands dirty and am a big help. I often joke that I am his gopher ... he says," No babe you are my Al" (you know...and he's like Tim the Tool Man Taylor or something...seriously??)...that's ok because I remind him that Al is always the brains and fixes all of Tim's screw-ups...haha...back at ya. Seriously though...Jr always works his butt off and now he's picking up my slack!! Lucky girl...
Hopefully a good recovery week...I am thinking it will be the easiest one yet. No work or kids' school work to worry about...and soccer season just ended...keep your fingers...hell why not your toes too...crossed (that reminds me...I need a serious feet overhaul...bring out the sandblaster here I come)!!
Good night...hugs!!
You should always listen to your mom...I hear she is very very smart.
