I just woke up from a tiny cat nap; it's 4:45 in the afternoon. I have been having trouble sleeping again. I need to retrain my body, but it knew I was supposed to be at work last night so it was up, and so was I!

I had a very, very busy weekend. Rachel turned 13 and had a party with sleepover on Friday. This year, 4 lucky boys were invited to stir things up a bit. It ended up raining and storming very violently, so the girls spent the night indoors instead of on the screened in porch. They all had a great time and want to make "movie night" at our house a monthly, weekly, or nightly event! I guess that is a sign of a successful party!

I still feel relatively normal. I don't feel sick. Am I sick? They said that they dissected all of the cancer out of me, so I say NO! I think about how fortunate I am every day. However, I do know that this will always be with me, this chapter in my life. Will I ever do anything without thinking of this? the answer is no. I know this already has changed my way of thinking. I will allow my children to do things that I might once have told them not to do. To wordy? I know, to deep, but these are things I think about.

I received an email from a very old friend of mine and I must say that it moved me quite a bit. Again, I am blessed at just how many people are praying for me. I love hearing from all of you so please keep it up..

My parents are going to be heading down next weekend to help out. I look forward to it. They will be handy in case I start to feel like crap after Thursday's chemo party!

As for my Hawaii trip; hell yes I'm still going! Less than 3 weeks away and I am very excited about that. I don't plan on overdoing it, but I don't plan on feeling ill either. It will just be what the Dr. ordered. A few pieces still needed, like new swimsuits, but other than that, I'm ready!
God Bless this day!
