It's Monday already?

We had a slow, fairly relaxed weekend, and it was great (but over much too quickly)! We went out to eat Friday night and while I've almost decided it's not quite worth the effort to get us all out of the door, it turned out to be lots of fun. We ate at Logan's, and Rory thought it was really great that it's perfectly acceptable to throw peanuts on the floor! And Camden ate so many peanuts that I'm surprised he's not sick. We also grabbed ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery, which is my absolute favorite.

Saturday was a pajama day - it was very cold and dreary outside. Brian and the kids worked/played in the basement while I spent a couple of hours cleaning out the filing cabinet and organizing all our old (and current) bills.

This week should be a bit slower than last week since I don't have errands planned for every single day. I am grocery shopping today and I've decided to try to shop for 2 weeks at a time so my list is pretty extensive considering Thanksgiving falls into the next 2 weeks. I'm sure the kids (specifically Camden) is not going to be thrilled with visiting multiple grocery stores.

I can't believe that November is already half over, although I feel like I'm ahead of the game as far as Christmas gifts go. The calendars are done; I created and ordered Christmas cards Saturday night; and I've got a list of what I need to buy/create for everyone else.

That's about it for today. The kids should be up soon and then the fun begins.

We had never heard of Logan's until we were driving through TN. My Logan got SO excited, because he thought it was *his* restaurant. ;)

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
