Great week

Since last Tuesday I have felt really good.  I am praying that my next round tomorrow will bring little to no side effects.  I am starting the new chemo, Taxol.  The first 4 treatments I was receiving 2 different chemos...now only 1.  Makes sense to me that the side effects will be cut in half...wishful thinking.  I just hope they are not as strong and do not leave me bed ridden for 2 days.  School will be starting in just a month and will have 1 treatment during in-service week and one 2 weeks later after the students arrive.  I prefer not to be out since it is so early in the year. 

On Thursday my mom's friend, Patty, gave us tickets for the screening of "The Help."  I got to see the faces of some people who I haven't seen in quite some time.  Great movie...and even greater company!!  Thanks ladies for joining us...AND thank you Patty for thinking of me :)

Friday, Angie Woolum, came over and gave me an hour long massage!!  What a wonderful gift.  She is really, really good for anyone looking for one.  Maybe that is why I felt so great all weekend!  THANKS WOOLUM :)

On Saturday, we took the kids to K.I. water park.  I found myself shopping for a new pair of boobies...lol!  I kept pointing the nice sets out to Jr and he kept saying I didn't have to because he has his own "radar."  Yeah whatever....typical male response.  I did find the perfect size...I should have asked to take a picture....wouldn't be the first time  (ha girls...Christy's rehearsal after-party). I find that "shopping," as I like to call it, has become a ritual.  I can't help but point out a nice set when I see em in person or in a magazine or on TV.  I think Jr may be starting to worry...he he.  Well to some it may be weird...but it is my payback for all the crap I am going through!

Have a nice week...stay cool in this heat...and keep your fingers crossed that my treatment goes well.
