I don't know why I feel a little sad to have the stubble falling out when I shaved it all off two weeks ago, but I do. I guess it means we are down to the serious business of killing cancer. Sometimes it feels overwhelming, especially as treatment day gets closer and closer. Two down, six to go. July will be a great month for us! I think we'll go on vacation!
I had another 4 a.m. wake time this morning, so I got up and did the laundry and puttered around until I was able to go back to sleep around 6:30. Thankfully, the big kids got off to school without my help and the little kids slept until 9:00, so I felt OK today. Natasha and her daughter came and spent the morning here. That meant I could go to the Atonement class, although I left early to go home and take nausea medicine and lay down for a while. Then my friend Marilee came and spent the rest of the afternoon helping out. She brought her cute son Sam who takes a nap while he is here. Today, he was distracted by stuff in the kids room, so she sat on the floor in the room and just watched him until he went to sleep. She didn't have to say a word to him. I thought that was brilliant! He would poke his little head up to see if she was still there, and lay his head right back down. Eventually, he went to sleep and stayed there for 3 hours. : ) Way to go, Marilee! Thanks to my neighbor Melissa who brought us an awesome dinner tonight! It is a recipe I have but haven't made in a long time, it was so good!
Mat arranged clear back in August to have his choir sing the national anthem at the Grizzlies game tonight. That meant he didn't come home until about 9:30 tonight. I knew I wouldn't make it that many hours just two days after treatment, so I asked Mary and fam to cover the baby. They are always so willing and I was so grateful for the help tonight! I'm telling you, we are surrounded by the greatest people on earth! Thanks to everyone that has helped us out this week!
