Day 4 and 5

So today was different...lots and lots of work to do..well lets go back to yesterday...I had to request a meeting with Riley and Savannah's principal. It seems Rileys grades are starting to slip...dont know if it is just the age...all of the different things happening in his life (back and forth from Dad's) or what but he is becoming very careless with his school work and remembering stuff. He has been up and down with his sugars which might have a little something to do with it as well.

Of course I start crying in the principals office...boo hooo....we talked about plans to make it as easy as possible on the kids for the next few months give or take.


Today just more and more work..the kids rode the bus for the first time. They loved it! It will be much easier on me not having to worry about driving them to and from everyday.

Skip to about 7 pm when I decided to take the kids to Peter Piper Pizza...So many people there. I noticed this huge party of like 3 large long tables..I thought to myself wow that is going to be a big bill..then all of a sudden a huge eruption of applause and screaming. Me and gwen looked up and this little boy could not have been more than 10 (Rileys age) was walking in and he was obviously surprised. He began weeping and many of the adults at the table began weeping as well...so of course me and Gwen started crying...I did not ask what the situation was because I could not muster up any courage..but I saw people wearing silver ribbons and the little boy had no hair and then there were others at the table kids ..some girls that had no hair and I knew. I started to cry even more. This little boy had obviously been through a lot and there were all of his friends and family that were there by his side.

I dont know any details...but all I could think was if this little boy could do it and still put on a smile..that I am going to have no problem...I wanted to go up and hug him...but I was paralyzed by my own fears.

So little boy in the Peter Piper Pizza..Thank you!

Day 3

Good day today! I feel like I am finally getting where I need to be as far as work is concerned. My Best girl Jamie has kindly stepped up and decided to go as crazy as I am with all of these Short Sale Files. (for anyone who works short sales you know what I mean) She is going to be so awesome at it. I know my clients will be in great hands with her! Thanks Jamie!

I am just checking the items off of my list so that I can prepare myself as well as possible for the next few months. I am not quite sure how my body will react to all of this but I need to make sure that I am prepared for the worst and of course anticipating the best...

More x rays and blood tests to be done this week. Chest x ray is for the plastic surgeon so they can determine exactly how high my boobs are SUPPOSE to be..LMAO. When we discussed options for new ones they said we will get you some beautiful 28 year old breasts...of course my smart ass chimes in with "screw that...I want 18 year old boobs". She politely conceded to that request. Apparently people are more likely to do what you ask once you have cancer....OHHHH my poor friends..they are going to have to have that cancer card pulled a few times.

Bryan has been awesome...he puts up with my very witty sense of humor. It helps to laugh about all of this. We are very excited to pick out some wigs....blonde..brunette..maybe a red head. He likes the idea he will be with a different woman every day!

Well THanks for listening. Will keep this up until I cant!

Day 2

Ok so I just re read my post from last night and I cannot blog that late at night ever again. I swear people the cancer has not spread that quickly to my brain..just lack of sleep.. : )

The doctor went well today. I have a surgery date of March 10...fairly quick but not quick enough. I want this crap out of my body now! She went through all of my pre op procedures as well as post op care. The worst part about the post op is going to be the drains that are going to be poking out of so many places....eeewwwhhhh. Well that and the fact that these lovely lady lumps that I have grown quite accustomed will no longer be there. Weird...you dont think about not having them till someone tells you they are taking them off. My mother jokes because I have been talking about getting new ones for so long...she just thinks I am being VERY DRAMATIC in my attempt to get new ones...LOL



Mary went with me and was so nurse like when they started talking about the drains. All i wanted to do was puke..

It is not scary yet..I am not sure why..I am anxious...but not scared. I have had a lot of prayers that have been said for me over the past few weeks and by golly george someone must have prayed a lot for peace..cause that is what I feel..peace with this whole situation..Thank God..

Day 1 Today has been a rougher day than the last have been . It has only been about 1 week and a half since I realized I have Breast Cancer. This is going to be helpful for me to get all of my emotions out on the table.


Has not sunk in yet. I am meeting with the Nurse Navigator tomorrow...dont get too excited I am sure she is just going to tell me a bunch of stuff I have to do to make this all happen.

No Nerves about that just nervous about work.

I will I was a little oder or maybe in a different situation to where I could just focus on getting better and not have to sweat all of these little things that come along with adult hood. Kids had a great weekend with Mary and her little ones...they also went over to Tavens Party. Fun Time.!
