friday eve, the girls treated us 2 another parade...they have been doing this almost daily now - sometimes there's a theme, sometimes it's completely random
saturday morning, curtis continued spoiling me/us by making breakfast - i'm serious, it's not like i'm playing the cancer card with him or anything - i'm trying 2 keep things running as normal as b4...but the man has really stepped up & started taking on waaaay more than his fair share of household duties - i'm talking, i haven't had 2 wash/dry/fold 1 load of laundry in weeks, kinda spoiling!!! he's been keeping up with it in the mornings, b4 heading 2 work...i love this man!
& here's a "KEEPING IT REAL" pic...what?! u don't feed ur kids off of paper plates sometimes? & u don't have craft projects, school papers, gift baskets filled with mail, computer speakers, kitty cats, notebooks, puzzle pieces, 2 bibles & other random stuff cluttering ur kitchen table? what about cabinet & pantry doors hanging wide open? ok, maybe it's just us! ;0)
after daddy went 2 work on sunday (unfortunately, he had 2 work all weekend), we headed over 2 nana & grandpa's 4 a beef & vegetable stew lunch, & 2 hang out by the campfire & ride atv's...it's been a good little while since the kiddos have done any riding, so it was extremely well received! ;0)
figured i'd show u how i've been covering my dome these last few days too...i bought 3 of these (blue, black, pink) on ebay a few weeks ago - all 3, plus shipping cost me about $15 - way cheaper than scarves & perfect 4 around the house...the little bun/knot on the back is pre-tied...so u literally just slide these on like caps! only thing is, they're kinda tight fitting - so my ears start hurting & i start getting a headache if i wear them all day
this 1 was from jen (the charcoal 1 in my new profile pic was too) - a very pretty pink floral! so pretty, that gabby & i fought over it the other day...she wanted 2 wear it 2 daycare all day on friday (no school 4 a teacher work day), b4 i had even had the chance 2 wear it & i wouldn't let her...i know, i'm so selfish! ~lol~ but both girls rocked the homemade scarves sarah made them on friday, & again 2 school 2day - they're so proud of them! & i promised gab, she could wear the pretty pink silk one anytime that she's out & about with mama
& today's funky pick - the peace sign scarf my aunt let me pick out - very comfortable! :0)
2nite tho, i'm chilling in hubby's toboggan...i usually just resort 2 these around the house...cozy & comfortable - i 4get i have em on - & his boggan keeps my noggin warm! ;0)
TMI ALERT - not too bad a pic, considering i prob threw up right b4 taking it...& i'm talking tears streaming down my face, vomit coming out my nose, sick (WTH? 1st time experiencing that!)! - end TMI ALERT - yeah, i'm sick 2nite...not sure y either - we found out that the IV nausea drug they gave me @ chemo #2 was actually 2 last THREE days, not THIRTY like i thought i heard them tell me last time! ~lol~ & it did work last time - i was vomit free 4 the 1st few days...it wasn't until about 4 days after chemo (it's all making perfect sense now!), that i got sick...but 2night, it's not working so well...& i'm not feeling so good AT ALL - ugh! (btw - i still didn't get the name of that med - duh!)
chemo was nice 2day tho (well, i guess as nice as it can b) - i was sitting beside some chatty (& sweet) ladies, so the time went by faster...a massage therapist from the "image recovery" dept. came by & gave out shoulder/neck massages, & my chemo nurse 2day was really personable...her husband died from brain cancer when her kiddos were young (they're in their 20's now) & we had some really interesting conversation about how children cope/deal with it all - i left feeling really good about how we're handling the whole cancer situation with our kiddos, & also pondering some other great suggestions/experiences the nurse brought up that i hadn't thought of b4
so, do u think we're getting that snow 2nite/2moro? our kiddos hope so - they're still holding out 4 that 1 good snow, so they can go sledding/tubing! & as much as i am NOT a snow fan - i would love 4 them 2 get in 1 good play day in the snow...and hey, another day off work wouldn't b all that bad either! ;0)

Love all the scarves!
Also, there ain't no shame in using paper plates! love that pic "keeping in real".
Also, Curtis is my hero.
And lastly, did you get the love story print I mailed to you last week?
i know, he's totally my hero too! ;0)
thx shanna - guess heaving adds color 2 the cheeks? ~lol~ feeling better this morn - just still trying 2 figure out how i continue 2 have killer heartburn, when there's prob only 3 crackers in my system?! oh well, could b worse! ;0)
thx bri - i was giggling at the content of the clutter on the table & wondered if others r as scattered as us sometimes...gotta b me! ;0) and yes, i just shot u an email - LOVE the print - thank u! :0)
You rock the scarves! In fact...you need to teach me how to do that little knot at the nape. The girls in TZ always looked SO cute (like you) and somehow I could never manage to get the knot right?
How sweet is your man? I'm SO happy that he's taking such good care of you! Helps the miles seperating thing...
Speaking of which...I just wanna hug you. Thinking about you being sick breaks my heart...I'm so sorry sweetie. I feel the same way when Trevy has seizures. It breaks my heart...but all I can do is cry & hold him. And all I can do is cry & cyber hold you!
xoxoxo
...danielle
I think that vomiting really brightens you up...lol! Makes your cheeks all rosy;) Curtis really is awesome and you totally deserve being spoiled!! You can make it up to him someday. Lovin' the parades. Lani would love to join in on those someday. The girls would have a blast dressing her up. hee:)
Oh my goodness!!!! I had not read your blog in awhile and did not know!!! You wear those scarves well, and I will be praying for you!!!! I heard that the best thing a person can do is watch comedies . . . cancer hates laughter!
Youa re definitely rockin' the scarves. I LOVE the peace sign one.
Your hubby is awesome. I am sure he feels helpless to help you and figures picking up more than his fair share is the best way to help you. He rocks too!
Send your kids north for some snow. We are expecting 8-15 today! Thank God our trip to Boston was yesterday! I have done the drive home from there in a snowstorm and it was horrible- practically crying from nerves horrible!!
danielle - thx girl, u're so sweet! pls don't cry tho - it could b way worse! i'm dealing! ;0) as far as tying the scarves, i've mostly been tying them in the back & letting them hang - kinda to keep my neck warm since it's so cold out...but the twist is kinda like putting ur hair in a bun...just twist & wrap, tuck or even secure with a band...that's y i really like those caps - knot already tied, just slip em on! ;0)
wendy - wasn't even thinking about the fun our kiddos can have when u come this way 4 a visit - yep, the girls will love playing dress up with lani!!!
tammy - good thing, cause i love 2 laugh! curtis is good for that too - he's always got me cracking up! ;0)
jen - they're on their way...just give me ur addy & i'll have em at ur doorstep soon! ;0) glad u didn't have 2 make that trek to/from boston in the storm!
