Dance

-
I forgot to mention the new toy Brian bought. Ever since he first saw the Dance Dance Revolution PS2 game, he's been dying to have it (for some reason!). Well, he finally bought it last week. His big idea is that it will be a fun workout thing we can do together. And, I'll admit, it's pretty fun! In fact, I've done it 3 nights in a row. It's not dancing by any means! It's a big mat with arrows on it that is connected to the PS2 and on the screen you follow the arrows with your feet, and it's to the beat of the songs of your choice. Yes, I'm sure we look like idiots!

Today was a crazy busy day at work. So busy, in fact, that the day just flew by. I came home exhausted! And I promise - this messy house makes me more tired just looking at it! I did 3 loads of laundry tonight and got them taken care of, moved all the rubber maids of things we packed up over the weekend into the spare bedroom, but I can't do much about all the other boxes. They're full of dishes and books and lots of heavy stuff that I'm not going to attempt to move. Mixed in with all the boxes, it looks like the Parent Teacher store exploded in our house. Brian has got bulletin boards and teacher projects scattered everywhere! He's got a ton of projects due before the end of the semester, so we've got crafty stuff all over!

We did have good news on the house and the adoption over the weekend. First, our homestudy is finally finished and almost ready to be sent off to our main agency in Minnesota where it will then be sent to Korea and we'll officially be waiting for a baby girl. Not quite as exciting, but very important - we heard from the realtor that the buyer's financing is looking good and they're ahead of schedule with getting everything taken care of. I'm starting to feel alot more hopeful that we really will be moving in 2 weeks. Now, to get to work and get this house packed up!

One Camden funny before I finish up here. Tonight, Camden called me into the bathroom and said he was finished with his bath. So I got the towel and started to let the water out. He laid back in the bathtub with his arms behind his head, let out a sigh, and said, "mommy, that was a great bath."

I know you saw this layout yesterday, but it bugged me all day today so I came home and redid it. I'm much happier with this version.

Hi Melissa!

Cute blog! I am going to have to bookmark it. :) I was laughing while I read about you and your hubby playing on the PS2 b/c I spent last night playing Zelda on the Wii with mine. Hee hee!

As for a dirty house sucking all the life out of you? Yep, I think it has been scientifically proven. Kuddos to you for doing three loads of laundry.

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
