Cancer retaliation...

Sometimes I have such big plans but cancer just doesn't play along...I am taking an online art class and my plans for Saturday included lots of "art"...I even put up a second table in my scrapbook room...at the end of Saturday my accomplishments included a destroyed scrapbook room, one layout and two barely started canvases...pathetic...



my scrapbook room is in serious need of an intervention!!!  I'm so lucky we "trashed" the idea of a guest room in lieu of a scrapbook room! 



I found a new thrift store really close to my house and I scored a pair of orange and gold earrings for 75cents!!  You can see one of the earrings on the left side of the layouts - SWEET!!!  And below, my little girls on canvas....in need of major creativity boost..."and miles to go before I sleep"




But at least I didn't choose to maul myself...Shane did the Warrior Dash on Saturday along with 7,000 other freaks in New Orleans...I stopped listening to the list of "stupid human tricks" when Shane described the 3 foot trench covered in barbered wire that each willing participant had to navigate...REALLY???  I'm going to have to face the life insurance clause that says, " We don't insure crazy people" one day...

I went to bed Saturday night feeling deflated (not really, I'm very marshmallowy right now due to steroids), but I was in pain from the Neulesta shot and figured I wasn't going to make it to NOLA for Sunday's parades...But I woke up Sunday morning and said, "screw cancer" and we packed up the car...didn't hurt that I made sure I had Loritab and Phenergan "to go"...

Sunday was beautiful...I'm so glad I didn't miss...I even found a comfy spot to snooze after sampling the above mentioned "to go box"... I couldn't miss these smiling faces...




Now...here's where is gets ugly...Monday...Cancer Retaliates!!!  Oh brother...pain, nausea, fever...luckily Shane was home half day and our babysitter was available for the rest...God love Adriana!!  Still glad I went yesterday...wonderful memories in exchange for one nasty cancer day...and I am marking them down BABY!!

We're glad you were there too! It was a lot more fun with Hallie there! I still think you could have chosen a more sassy wig then blonde for the occasion though ;)

David wanted to do the Warrior Dash, but couldn't do to his foot problems. Strangely, I had no interest in participating.

Waiting anxiously for the post saying the cancer is completely gone. Until then, we'll keeping praying for each day to get a bit better and brighter.

Sometimes the fun is worth the consequence. Or at least it was in high school when I knew I was doing something wrong! Oh and who needs a spare bedroom when you have a couch! A scrapbook room is a MUST!
