April 25th & 26th

Friday morning at 1:50am I could no longer sleep. I'm going to blame the steroids I took. I was able to stay in bed and rest but sleep never took over again. After the kids were off to school and I'd taken my morning steroid I was still tired but feeling buzzed from the drug. I folded laundry, cleaned up the kitchen, de-junked my freezer and gave it a good scrub down. I had soup for lunch and was finally able to take a quick nap after lunch. My boys went home with a friend after school which was very helpful as that was the time I was sleeping. Up to this point I hadn't felt nauseated, but my body didn't feel good. All those chemo drugs don't help. I had a nice time with the girls after they got home. Had a snack and eventually picked up the boys from their play date.
Drea had her 'attention' date with her Aunt Janelle. Dallas went off and hung out with friends so it was just Dave and I and the boys. We spent our time working on the boys pine wood derby cars at Dave's parents house. I snuggled on their couch under a blanket while the boys did their thing. By bedtime I was exhausted but wasn't able to fall asleep so I took one of my pills and slept from 10:30pm-8:30am. I woke this morning feeling really great!! I was able to go with Dallas to her Young Women recognition luncheon. And I was able to eat and enjoy the food they served! Dave had a couple errands to run and I was feeling good enough so I tagged along. This afternoon I took a nice nap and have continued to feel pretty good. I am eating every 2 hours and have enjoyed what I've ate. Dallas and Aundrea had a special outing today with a friend and neighbor who took them shopping. They came home with some really fun and cute clothes! My dad stopped by for a visit and it was nice to see him and hear about his camping trip. As for now, Dallas is off at the Real soccer game, Dave and Drea are off having some daddy daughter time and I'm home bathing the boys and settling in for a nice quiet night.
I am grateful to have had 2 pretty good days after chemo. I know your prayers are working. I feel them. I am truly grateful for them!

I love you all!
