Domestic Goddess

-
Apparently having a fabulously clean house inspires the domestic goddess in me to come out. First, it's such an accomplishment that after over a week my house is still spotless. Second, I'm cooking like mad. I actually got a casserole ready Saturday to put in the oven for dinner on Sunday. Then on Sunday afternoon, I got a new casserole ready to go in the oven for dinner on Monday evening. I doubt this has ever happened before! I know that my mom and sisters reading this are shocked.

We had a rough weekend with Camden. 3.5 is a challenging age to say the least! But he is doing some cute new little things. He loves to look at books and it is so fun to hear his sweet little voice "reading" the story. Of course, it never quite makes sense, but it's funny! He also has started this new thing when he asks you a question. He'll ask the question and then say, "yes or no, mommy." I guess he just wants a one word answer! A not-so-fun development is that he no longer wants kisses, especially from me! He just wipes them right off!

Here are a couple of layouts from the weekend.

Oh my! Your story reminds me of Carter, he does the same thing. "Mommy can I have some fruit snacks, yes... or... no" The yes is a very long drawn out word and the No is more of a "or no" real quick, like maybe I won't pick that one! How funny! 3 1/2 is a great age, isn't it??

My 3-year old wipes away my kisses too! Aren't they just funny at this age? I love your layouts, especially the zoo one. And the story of your clean house and casserole making would be inspiring if it didn't sound so tiring. ;)

Well I hate to tell you that E just turned 4 and we have had some horrible tantrums up to this point! (can't say I didn't worn you) =)

Funny how kids say little things like that. You realize what they hear a lot of!

Want to come to my house and be spotless? =)

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
