I'm so thankful for all of you.

The last 2 weeks have gone by so fast. I try to get in as many things on a good 2 days, and then I'm on the lam for the next 5.

I have so much to report, but I've been up way too late with my boys tonight. We had a great night together and Asa stayed awake until he feel asleep in my arms in the couch. Asa said that he was proud of me. I asked him why? he answered "you haven't been grumpy once since you started chemo, I'm proud of you, you are doing a great job". I have such a sweet son and an even greater husband. My mom in a rock and she is such a great care taker. Sissy consistently amazes me a my child's care giver/mom/Sissy. She does it every day, no complaining and happy to do it. I WOULD watch both the children if I had to, but I don't ever want to. I could never compare and she is great with them. She is a true talent when taking care of our children. They love her so much. I appreciate you sissy. I love you so much. My poor mother has gone to every appointment with me and helped me, held my hand while walking, getting my walker out so I can shop (on Tuesdays) and cares for me day and night. Even on her nights off (when josh is home with me) she still comes over, picks up Asa so I can sleep more in the mornings and just continues on. Never complaining. I have the best family and am blessed to have them. I thank God for them many times a day. Even though this mother fucking cancer has a brief hold on us for the time being, it's bringing us even closer and stronger as a unit. We all need each other.

I have so many stories and update of appointments and pictures to post, but I wanted to give you an insight as to my emotion at the moment. I'm OK, I'm fighting like Cotto, I'm done with 3 rounds of chemo. I have Monday off, Josh and I are talking about taking Asa to the Seattle Aquarium if I'm feeling up to it. Not sure yet.

You have all been on my mind and have felt bad not posting in such a long while. I will get my butt in gear tomorrow with updates galore and a few new pics. Love you all and pray that I get some sleep tonight. Tomorrow night the pain starts up in the spine from the chemo and the next 3 days are the hardest. I'm prepared for it now, and ready to fight it until it's DEAD! I am stronger than this monster. Oh, my hair is falling out. We were supposed to shave it tonight, but mom forgot the clippers, so tomorrow it will be. I will feel empowered and sad at the same time, but it's showing that the chemo is working. Asa told me last night "Mum, it's time to shave your head, your hair is getting to be a nuisance".

I have gotten so many beautiful gifts in the mail along with greeting cards and I'm sorry I've been slow on my thank yous. I am looking forward to writing to you all personally tomorrow. Thank you so much for your love. I feel it in every card and gift and email that I get.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, prayers and support. I'll talk to you tomorrow again.
