A couple of weeks ago G and I had the privelage of touring the fire station as special guests of the Fire Chiefs grandchildren who are good friends of G. We were thrilled that G felt well enough and could go. The kids had a great time and made some great memories! Thanks Fire Chief Calvin!!

 

J and his team took there first team first in wrestling this year....they were pretty pumped! Great job guys!!!!

Lame

This day has been just lame.

One of those every thing you said out to do goes, well, not well? I was all excited for it, first snow day of the year and all that.

Ha.

Today was one of those stupid days. Saying it didn't go well, really seems an understatement. For example, we tried to set up the tree. Its 8 years old and simply dead...and things went downhill from there from the extreme: Gas in eye of 12 year old to the aluminum foil being completely messed up (that stuffs expensive!) to thing on the wall being broke, "THE" comb being lost (and yes, I have bought more of THE comb the mysteriously disappear around here and I'm down to just one again!) and all things in between (have you ever rewrapped a frozen turkey? its even harder when your foild is all messed up) I haven't touched on the constant fighting that occured. Oy. I'm sure no one is nominating me for Mother of the year.

Oh, I also didn't get my MIL Bday gift delivered. (insert head slap!) She lives 2 BLOCKS from me, this shouldn't be hard...and it wouldn't have been...if this day hadn't been one of THOSE days.

Anyway. I'm going to bed. Clinic tomorrow and the roads will most likely be icy. Even tough its a clinic day it has to be better then today.

Its the end of the month..will I keep writing? Perhaps, its theraputic. And maybe I'll get better at it!

Organizing and a joke

Hey ho its Monday....I tackled the laundry, all 8 loads are done! And I reorganized the cabinets and it finally occured to me that I need a drug cabinet. Its a lovely thing....I could get all weepy or snarky about this....I'm just going to leave it alone. I have a designated one in my kitchen now. Oy.

And now for the joke!

One man said to the other, "You know, there are really only three kinds of people in the world: those who can count......



And those who can't!

mmmmwah!

I'm behind

Today I woke up feeling a little stressed and behind. My baby will turn 4 next week...and I've done NOTHING about it which is unlike me and ridiculous a bit as its all we've talked about around here for the last 2 weeks.

A few trips to some stores today and we got 'er all fixed up. I feel better.

Oh wait, Christmas is HOW MANY DAYS AWAY???

Crud.

Time to decorate

I started with my blog.....


like?

Ahhh research

Update from yesterdays post....I did some internet digging. Apparently G's rages/tantrums are completely part of the deal for someone undergoing chemo. I read where one person discribed it as being 9 1/2 mo pregnant, for 3 years. Another who said that children were unfortunate because they can't refuse treatment, adults can, and some say they would rather die then go through it.

So, its apparently just part of the new "normal" around here.

I really am starting to dislike that phrase.

What did people do before the internet? They had to feel so alone in this. Being able to read and learn more is a true comfort.
