Sleep Deprived

-
We are all sleep deprived and cranky around here! Camden is continuing his night-time coughing spells (which is not his fault, of course), which means that we're all up and down all night long. Leads to some very cranky moments!

Yesterday was pretty slow. Brian worked, I stayed home and did laundry, got some grocery shopping done. I went to Sally's Beauty Supply to buy a new flat iron. My Chi died after only 6 months, which is really annoying since I spent alot of money on it! Anyway, as we were leaving Sally's, Camden asked what store we were just in. I told him Sally's Beauty Supply. He said in a very disapproving voice, "Mommy, we don't talk about someone's booty." I tried to explain, but it didn't go over so well!

He has been a bottomless pit lately. I've heard all the stories about how much boys eat, but until this week had not really experienced it, but if he keeps it up, I'll never be able to keep groceries in the house! At lunch today, he ate 2 pieces of ham, Pringles, peaches, strawberries, jello, and a cookie and wanted more. This is after he had two huge helpings of cereal and an apple at breakfast for a snack this morning. After lunch, he came up to me, hugged me and said, "thank you for letting me eat lunch." Makes it sound like I never feed him when he says it that way!

We were supposed to go to my friend's daughter's birthday party today, but decided that since we're all cranky and sleep it would probably be best to skip it. Plus, it's a swim party, and since it's only 75 today, there's no way I'm letting Camden get cold and wet.

I'm hoping to get some scrapping in this weekend, maybe after Camden goes to bed tonight. Here's one layout I did last night.

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
