Tuesday

We spent a couple of hours yesterday with Brian's brother, sister-in-law, their kids, and his parents and had a great time. Camden's cousin, Logan, is 2 years older than Camden, but they always immediately hit it off and play together so well. We only see them every 12-15 months, but they're always able to just pick up as if it were just yesterday. It is so sweet, and they play HARD!

After they left, we let Rory take a short nap, woke up her up, grocery shopped, came home, ate supper, and sent the kids to bed! I helped Brian with standardized tests last night - so repetitive! With everything teachers have to do, it's kind of crazy that they have to hand-write the student's names, class info, etc. on EVERY, SINGLE PAGE for EVERY SINGLE CLASS for EVERY SINGLE STUDENT! Hours of work!

I'm taking the kids over to play with the cousins again this morning, then we'll come home for naptime and I'll work on the laundry. It worked out pretty well last week to do it all in one day and then not worry about it again so I'm going to try that method again.

I'm so disappointed this morning. We were planning to go to the Steven Curtis Chapman/Michael W. Smith concert with Bo and Mayme, but when I tried to order tickets this morning, the only ones left are $120 (for both), and it's just not good use of our money. Sometimes I miss the days of being a two-income family!

Bummer about the concert tickets. :( Smitty is awesome in concert, but I hear ya about the money. The perks of being home with the kids are great, but right now...the extra money would REALLY help too.

I'm sorry about the tickets. The boys are begging to go see Thomas Live, but it would cost us over $130, and I just don't know if I can justify it. Like you, there are days that I miss having two incomes, but I wouldn't trade being a SAHM for anything!

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
