Sorry for the delay...

I am sorry I haven't been on the blog for a while. Unfortunately, I have been down with Influenza A. You know, the shit they give you the flu shot to prevent! It seems that the shot is only covering about 40% of the people that have been vaccinated. This is the end of week 2 and I am still a little week, I am coughing like a life long smoker, and I have more snot in my nose then the whole elementary school! What's up with snot anyway? How much can one body produce? It is insane. Anyway, Carina and Rick are both recovering as well and Carra's asthma is pretty bad right now. So, this was the weekend that Rick and I were going to Cayucos as a weekend getaway without the kids. Considering my mom came down to take care of me when I got sick, we opted to take the kids to Cayucos so my parents wouldn't have to come back so soon. I must say that I am glad we decided to do that. We had so much fun with the girls on the beach. I think we brought home half of the rocks on the beach not to mention the shells! Some of you know that Carra is obsessed with rocks. It was a rock paradise for her. She had a blast. Carina had a great time too once she got over having wet, sandy feet! I will try to post pictures in the next couple of days. Great weekend considering Rick and I felt like crap most of the time! I think the reason I ended up sick was because of a girl weekend I had a few weeks ago. I went up to Jill's house in Modesto and our friend Missy came from Portland. We were also blessed with "Dirty Bird." Carolyn, you are great and I hope you make it to all of these weekends! Anyway, I was the D.D. and it was so much fun watching those gals get drunk. We didn't go to bed until about 4 am which really wasn't very smart on my part. But, I love those girls. They have been there for me for a lifetime. And, it was so nice to go out and not have people worry about cancer. It was just me. Not sure it was worth influenze though!! As far as my treatments go, I have 6 weeks of chemo left!!!! I will start radiation a couple of weeks after that and I am hoping to have the summer off to spend with my family. Oh, I am also having a party in June. I want to celebrate the end of all of my treatments and my birthday of course!
