Tuesday's Tidbits

-
One morning last week I was blow drying my hair while Rory took her bath, and she looked like she was up to something. I stopped to ask her what was going on, and she said with a smirk, "destroying the earth."

Rory tagged along with me to the doctor yesterday, and as soon as the doctor stepped out, Rory turned to me and said, "Mama, you were such a good girl!"

Brian left little treats and a note to each of the kids one morning, and Camden said, "Oh, Daddy is just so loving." Seriously, what 7 year old says loving?

And speaking of 7, it's quickly becoming my least favorite age to date. Only one example why: one night last week Camden had a bloody nose and decided to see what might happen when you blow your bloody nose. Without. A. Kleenex. I walked in to find the mirror, counter, sink covered in blood and when I came to find Camden (about ready to explode) and asked him about the mess he said, "What do you mean?" Yep, 7 is proving to be a challenge.
 
Ran across this necklace last week. Is that cute or what!

I booked 2 photo shoots in the last 24 hours. I'm also taking head shots for my parent's website and pics of Becky's boys while we're in St. Louis next week. Exciting stuff (and my nerves are feeling it). :)

Found out yesterday that I won (random drawing) all of Lauren Grier's designs for an entire year. Now that's a great prize!

Took advantage of all the fall/pumpkin items we had set up at church over the weekend.

Sounds like a pretty awesome week!! The bit about Camden had me laughing out loud (even though it's really gross and I'm sure was not amusing in real life). My niece will be 7 in a couple months and she's a pistol right now, too.

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
