Catch up

I am finally feeling better after last weeks crap treatment. It is really getting harder to stay positive about that place. The room has a certain smell that I can't get out of my nose. My stomach lurches when I think of it and I physically want to throw up. I am starting to have a hard time with other smells. Nail polish remover. It smells like the heparin they flush my port with. Paint. Kinda smells like the chemo room. Anyway, I go back to that place again next week and I will spend every week there for quite a long time. Guess I need to suck it up and put on some lipstick! I hear that works! So, I am planning some time away. I need ideas as to where Rick and I can get away that won't cost us a fortune. He and I can really use a break. Have I told you what a handful my girls are? They are going to make me pull out my hair!!! Carra is testing every limit and Carina just climbs up on everything that could cause a fall and break a bone. Every once in a while I have that "I should be a stay at home mom" thought. And then I spend one afternoon alone with them!! That's all it takes. One afternoon. I already want to go back to work. (Sherri, are you glad to hear me say that?) The good thing about this "hiatus" is that the nurses will appreciate me more. When I go back I can really be bossy!! (I really miss you gals.) I am kinda sounding bummed and mushy. I swear I am in a good mood and happy. I hope everyone is well. Love ya.

Sue...
Glad to read the update, and if I were closer I would take the girls for you....! Jayce has been "testing" too, may be a 5 year old thing? Just know you're not alone in this battle. I think of you everyday, and hate the pain you're dealing with. I am proud of you though, and you're so brave! I love you, and having some quiet time with your Hubby will be so wonderful for you! Too bad Grandmas cabin isn't around still, now there is a place that is quiet!

Love you...
Kerry
