Okay, so I know it is Mother's day...and I should be all happy and up and positive...blah, blah, blah. I am not! I feel down actually...and nothing has really happen to make me feel that way.
I woke up at 4 am because my middle child wet the bed and needed a warm bed to sleep in. I was awoken again at 5:15 to the youngest crying...he needed someone (mommy) to wipe his nose because it was stuffy. I wiped his nose and crawled into bed with him until 6:30...he finally had fallen back to sleep. I tore off the soiled sheets (I didn't have the enegry to do it at 4am) and put them into the wash. Then I folded the clothes in the dryer from the previous day. Took a shower around 7:15...got ready for church. Poured the little ones cereal...hey it is MD I didn't really want to cook....woke up the hubby...he now has 20 minutes to get ready for church...yes we were late again!
Then the kids didn't want to leave for church without showering me with gifts. Super sweet and cute! I love my letters and new shoe drawers for the kids. I am so thankful for my hubby and kiddos.
Off to church we go. Great service, love our pastor. In the car again...the little one didn't get a dougnut at church so we find ourselves at Krispy Kreme...and now I find myself eating 3! I am starting my diet tomorrow...so I guess I thought that made it okay. We get home, have 20 minutes to clean the house up...Tom leaves to take things to the church to donate for the church parking lot sale. He comes home...we load up the kids and drive to San Diego to see Tom's friend Scott. Scott is in a rehab center for additictions. He needs a few things from the store...so Tom goes to the store and the kids and I stay with Scott. He is such an amazing person. We all enjoyed our time with him.
We drive back home and now it is 6...Tom drops me off because he has an errand to run with the kids. They arrive back at 6:45 and have cheesecake in their hands. Oh that is my favorite...another reason to start the diet tomorrow! :)
So you see, nothing really to bring my down...I just feel down. I know it's Mother's Day...
Chloe and I had a great time getting our toes painted today. She picked the color and design. I love Chloe's fashion sense. I never would have done blue...I would have choosen red, pink or french...BUT I love it. She amazes me at how stylish she is at such a young age! We had a great time sipping coffee/hot chocolate and talking together. I am so enjoying my Mother's Day weekend! I love you Chloe!
AHHHH, that is my sigh of relief. I finally got a call back from the doctor last night! She let me know that my blood work all came back normal...there is nothing to worry about! :) What a relief. Now I just need to go back every year and have an ultrasound done. Adding one more ultrasound to my list every year...not a big deal when I am looking at the big picture. I have been cancer free now for 5.5 years. Although, I am starting to think that a body scan every year would be nice!
It is so hard to believe that a little over five years ago I was told I had cancer. I remember the rush of emotions when my doc told me...and the lack of emotion on his part. (we changed doctors) It is still amazing to think God brought me through all that. It is times like today that I am reminded of how much I have to be thankful for. Thank you to all of you who prayed for me during this "not knowing" stage. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Bryce threw an amazing pass today! It was very long and caught by his friend Max. Max ran it all the way to the end zone! They won this game by two touchdowns. We are so proud of Bryce.
He threw this pass while the opposite team was trying to take his flag. It was the second pass he threw under pressure! Amazing! One of the dads from the team asked Tom if he was going to put Bryce on the older league next year. Tom smiled and said, "He's only 6! He's too young for the older league!" The other dad was shocked! Go Bryce! :)
Who would have thought to use birthday frosting as a facial mask??? Only Chloe and Sydney are that silly and fun! I would have been concerned about acne!
