just 5 things...

1. Since it's 80 degrees with 1,000% humidity today, I turned the air conditioner down to 68 until my toes froze and then made hot chocolate...that's how we "create" Christmas here in Louisiana...

2. My PET scan results are in, and I am still cancer free.  I have started to sleep again unaided by sleeping pills...mostly...let's not go totally crazy...

3. Since Coco the Chihuahua entered our lives, the bickering in our house has quadrupled...The girls now fight over who can feed Coco, hold Coco, look at Coco, hug Coco, pick up Coco's shit...

One day this week I found myself yelling, "You two are fighting over SHIT!"  When the girls IN FACT realized they were fighting over who could touch dog poo, they felt pretty ridiculous.  But that has not stopped me from telling EACH ONE of their FRIENDS repeatedly...mom's SWEET revenge!!  oh, and I'm pretty sure Social Services will be arriving any minute, since I cursed at my children in the front yard...

4. I love my therapist...I especially love that since I pay her to listen to me, even when she disagrees with me, she makes it sounds like she's agreeing with me...I've only started seeing a therapist since the chemo debacle ended...weird how when in you're in the middle of it, you don't have time for the emotional crap (and when I say "you", I mean "me")...

5. I'm feeling guilty about how sweet my girls looked in their Christmas picture...I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea and think they look like that normally, because normally they look like "raggamuffins" (as my mom would say)...I mean it was a Christmas picture...of course, I made them brush their hair, brush their teeth and put on a dress...but please don't accuse me of doing that only a daily basis, I only strive for brushed teeth on a daily basis...

5a. I had Christmas lunch today at school.  Avery only ate the mystery turkey and the fruit (leaving the prized roll) but Morgan redeemed Avery by "loving the greasy bottom of the roll"...no DNA test required...that one's mine!!
