The weekend list

-
A few things from the weekend:
  • Thanks to Mayme who supplied Camden with her son's Star Wars figurines, he is in complete Star War's heaven. (Is it okay to put a limit on Star War's talk? Seriously, he never. stops. talking. about. it.)
  • VBS ended with a program for the parents last night. It was lots of fun, but I'll be glad to have our evenings back.
  • Michael's facebook post yesterday after spending the afternoon with us:
Rory-"Michael how does Liz go potty?"
Me - "You will have to ask her when she comes out."
Camden- (said in a matter of fact way) "She goes like everyone else does. When she pees she stands up and she sits down when she goes stinky!"
Apparently, he hasn't quite learned the difference between boys and girls yet.
  • Matilda Jane is having their one and only annual 40% off sale (with $2 shipping) and I might have placed an order. Okay, two but who's counting.
  • We took the kids to our friend's pool Friday and Camden's serious fear of water is still around. I keep thinking he's going to outgrow it, but not yet. He did go down the big slide (after a little coaxing) and when he popped back up in the water, I told him good job and asked if he wanted to do it again. He replied, "No, but that was nice of you to offer."

I'm working today and Brian has in-service this week so my friend Andrea is keeping the kids. We're leaving town Thursday so this is another short and busy week! I feel as if we're moving in fast forward these days because we're crazy busy and time is flyin'!

I have had very little scrapping time, but here are two older pages I never shared.

Bo read the facebook post to me last night and we got quite a chuckle!! Too cute and oh so innocent and sweet. Glad he likes his recycled figurines. Have a good week.

I love in the carwash pic how Rory's hips are cocked ever so slightly to one side. Total sass.

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
