Weekly Recap

My sister and her five kids were here about a week ago. It was so great to have her stay with me for a short time, and my kids were in absolute heaven playing with their cousins. They certainly feel "ripped off" that all their cousins live in Texas. Angie is so happy! She has been through more than I can even imagine in the past 1 1/2 years. She will be getting married on June 11th to someone who makes her over the moon happy. Her happiness shines through her and it is addictive. I love her so much!

It has been a while since I last wrote. I draw a blank as to what to write... not knowing the defining difference between what to share and things I prefer to keep to myself. Thoughts, feelings, emotions... I experience the whole realm in any given day.

I had my second of six chemo treatments a week ago today. I am just starting to feel like myself again. The things this poison does to my body... wow! The obvious effects are hair loss (which I have pretty much completed) and fatigue. Unfortunately, I experience about every additional side effect in the book. Just like me, very "by the book". I wish I could grab a break here!

The weather is turning (with exception to the beautiful snow storm we had this morning). Who couldn't be excited about Spring approaching? My favorite time of the year! Getting the kids out to the park, riding their bikes and scooters and although they are already asking about swimming and water slides - I think we've got a while before that! But life is good.
