Update 4/20

For those of you who were Facebook creeping on me already today :) --you know that our trip today didn’t start out well due to the fact that I wasn’t feeling well. (P.S. Im feeling better now) However, we still made it to Chicago on time and we got in and out pretty quickly again this week. Although it is frustrating to drive 6-7 hours to spend 20-30 min at the cancer center, it’s also nice to get the trip over with.

This past week or so has been a rough one for Mom. She has had ZERO energy, no appetite, a lot of pain, and lost 5 pounds this week. (Knowing that I’m “dieting” and running now, Im jealous that she lost weight without doing “anything” but I would rather diet and run everyday than go thru what she is. Shes a trooper!) Mom also found a new “spot” this week in/under her bellybutton when she got bored and was playing with herself. haha That sounds bad! She was playing with her bellybutton. I guess since she is in so much pain she couldn’t reach any further. Hahahahahaha She said it! NOT ME! :) I LOVE YOU MOM!

Anyways, this coming week is going to be a very busy one for our family and myself. Between mowing our GINORMOUS yard at the house that’s for sale, working all weekend, going to STL on Sunday with a friend, my birthday on Monday, Chicago trip on Tuesday, Mom’s surgery on Wednesday, Josh’s show next Thursday and Friday and working all weekend again—I shouldn’t have much time to spare.

P.S. If anyone wants to send me birthday cards with any and/or your favorite recipes, feel free to do so! :) I love mail/cards and my new favorite hobby is cooking so it seems like a perfect gift! :)
