I spent much of the day today with my family making the final preparations and planning for my dad's funeral. I think we've got it figured out, for the most part, and things should go relatively smoothly. The funeral is Wednesday at my mom's ward in Kaysville. He will be buried in the Huntsville Cemetary.
The kids were going crazy tonight, Isaac's thing is, "I'm bored." Anyone else out there have a kid that requires constant entertainment?! I decided to take them to the gym so they could go swimming. I can't get in the water yet (Dermabond on my most recent holes), so Maddie was in charge of Brooklyn and Isaac does his thing. I took the baby up to the track in the jogging stroller and we ran! I HATE running on the track, I'd much rather be plugged in and distracted by the TV's on the treadmills! But, Mat was home getting some work done, so I made the best of it. This is the first time in more than a month that I've been able to run and I'm so grateful I can get back to it now. It felt really good, after the initial pain and fatigue in my legs. : ) I am hoping that having a consistent schedule at the gym will, first, give me something to look forward to everyday, and two, mitigate the side effects of the chemicals that will be pumped into my body.
I had a friend tell me once that she hates reading blogs where all they have to say is that they made peanut butter sandwiches for their kids lunch. I've been thinking of that with a smile, as I am beginning to have uneventful days. I may begin to skip a day here or there, if there isn't anything interesting or useful to say. But please keep reading! It warms my heart that there are so many people out there that are following along in our journey. I have written something just about every day since I was diagnosed, that amazes me! This has been a great forum for me to record my thoughts and keep my friends close by and in far away places informed. In many ways, this has been a blessing for us because we have learned so much from it. Thank you for your prayers in our behalf!!! : )
