Tuesday's Tidbits

Thursday before my doctor's appointment, all I could think about was what should I wear to see an oncologist. How stupid is that!

When Rory can't hear the TV, she asks me if I can "turn it up just a tap." 

Rory spent most of the morning yesterday playing outside by herself. She was hilarious to watch as she played school, gymnastics, baseball, etc. It was really funny when she went inside and put her Supergirl costume on over her clothes and then headed back outside to continue playing (see pictures below).

My mom headed home first thing this morning so this is my first day alone. We loved having her here and she was an enormous help, but I'm also glad for a couple of weeks of normal schedule before chemo starts.

While I was still in the hospital, Brian told the kids that I had cancer. Rory paused and said, "Well. This is serious. This is an emergency." Camden responded in a very sweet way and immediately referenced a Bible story that gave an example of how to respond in a tough situation. It was precious.

I smelled this Philosophy set in Sephora on Saturday, and it is amazing. I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, and I just might have to pull it out.

Rory and I were both up until after 2:30 last night. She has a cold and laid in bed whining/crying because her nose is stuffy for hours. She doesn't have a fever or a cough. I am very sorry she doesn't feel well, but what I wanted to yell tell her is that if she would Just.Stop.The whining/crying, her stuffy nose wouldn't be nearly so bad. She is SUCH girl when it comes to the being way too emotional department. A nap is most definitely in our future.

And speaking of colds, for obvious reasons it would be best for me to not catch Rory's. However, my constant sneezing this morning is probably a good indication it's too late for that.

I kind of love this picture.

Update: Rory just got up at 8:30, and still no fever (which is good!). Now how in the heck do I convince her that sobbing does not do anything to make her feel better.
