Getting There

Getting there. The week is almost over.

Here...Waiting

Always.

DANCE MARATHON

Had a fabulous day at the Dance Marathon family picnic. Feels like home when I am with those families. They get it. I was happy and my kids were awesome and happy too. I am dreading the nighttime after they are asleep.

got through it

Today was an emotional day. I am glad it is Friday and I am VERY glad I have my babies.

I hope my mom and step dad are having fun in Greece.

I can't believe my baby girl turns 4 a week from tomorrow.

I am glad I can listen to a certain local radio station again without being repulsed.

I am hoping to get emotionally strong enough to deal with next week cause it will be a long difficult one.

But mostly I am thankful for all of the love on my life.

Not Fair

I realize that life is not fair. Believe me, I have had that lesson pounded into my head. Apparently The Powers That Be continue to think I haven't learned it yet. Let me just say this:

I HAVE!!!

Now can the heartbreaking sad horrible wretched stuff stop for a while? Please?

Seriously.

Thinking It's Time

I think it is time to get the skates on and head to the rink. Needing to feel the complete freedom that comes from going as fast as you can around the ice and the the feeling of jumping. Very exhilarating. Very mind numbing. Very comforting.

It's like being all alone in the world. Sometimes that is one of the best ways to feel.

Its Been A Long Time

I am very happy to say though that at the beginning of August we did find out that Cameron's ITP did go into remission and all signs of leukemia disappeared. Thank goodness. I was told, by Jane the Hem/Onc nurse who delivered the good news, that the ITP will probably rear itself again. Don't know when or how severely but when kids are diagnosed with it it does typically come back. Thankfully(or not so thankfully I guess) we know what to look for. I just don't want platelets under 50K since lower than that and he can't do any rough type of playing. Ugh. Until then I won't worry. He's healthy right now.

Connor and Kyla are both doing well. Kyla is adjusting to the new daycare situation. Slowly but she is adjusting. Connor's 5th grade year has started off fabulously! Knock wood. He is bringing home some great grades and doesn't complain about going in the morning. This makes me VERY happy and relieves a lot of my stress.

I have a great class this year. That coupled with the fact that I am much more centered than last year is making for a good time so far. Not without its issues but nothing too major at this point.

I have a vacay planned for Ireland with "the girls". This will happen the end of June through the first part of July. I can't wait. It will be a great time. Rex has said that he would take the kids while I go so I truly appreciate his help with that.

So. Making tracks here in Keokuk.

Cheers!
