Tuesday's Tidbits

-
The whole family was out distributing flyers for a church event and Camden watched Rory walk up a drive (with a little pep in her step) and said, "she looks just like she's walking down a fashion runway." I'm sorry, but when did my 7 year old learn the term fashion runway?

The other night Rory got in trouble for something, and I had a stern talk with her. She has quite a tender heart and cried, of course. After she came back into the room, she walked up to me and in a quite self-righteous tone said, "I forgive you for not being very nice to me, mama." Brian and I looked at each other and had trouble covering up the giggles.

My computer and internet connection are trying to slowly drive me insane. I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to throw anything that involves a computer out the window. And if you know me, then you know how frustrated I must be to even consider giving up my scrapping/photography/connection to the outside world.

When I told Rory yesterday that I couldn't believe that I had a 4-year old, she replied, "well, I can't believe that I have a 34 mom."

Camden has said several times over the past few days that he wishes Rory would just stay little. And if yesterday is any indication of life with a 4 year old, I'm kinda with him on that (although I'm hoping to blame her diva attitude on a couple of late nights and two missed naps in a row).

Oh, too funny about her saying she forgives you for not being nice to her. Briar says something similar, but I think she means that she's sorry since she has a tendency to jumble the words in her sentence around!

Sumner has the "I sorry. Mommy" thing down. Big crocodile tears and I just melt.

If you get the chance to upgrade computers, I vote Mac. We had issues with our last PC (slow, viruses, crashes, etc). We switched to Mac over a year ago and haven't had a problem! Plus, it's so much easier to deal with photos!

Ugh, missed naps are the WORST.
And please tell me I get to meet your kids when you're here in Oct. I just HAVE to hear some of these delicious goodies coming out of their mouths!

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
