Monday started out rough. Really rough! But I have an amazing friend who took Daniel for the day so I could run some much needed errands and clean my kitchen. (Thank you Liz!!) It was a big debate for me: Clean the kitchen or Take a nap. A nap might have been the ‘right’ choice, but I went with clean the kitchen. I haven’t seen my counters in weeks – perhaps longer. The satisfaction of having CLEAR counters was TOTALLY worth skipping the nap. I posted the above photo as proof!

Tuesday I had Bible Study and it was so nice to be with other women. My table group has been very supportive and they send dinner home with me on Tuesdays – I LOVE not having to think about what to fix on Tuesdays =) My amazing friend from Monday, came over Tuesday after Bible Study and did my dishes and swept my kitchen floor. Seriously an angel here on earth! Not to mention having ‘company’ for lunch.

I had the kids in bed by 6:30. I think that’s a record.

Today started out as a blank page in my daytimer (I like those), but is quickly becoming a day of necessary things that are being added to my calender by others. Which I suppose is OK since I didn’t have anything else planned! =)

I went in for another set of labs last week. The results for my Mitotane levels won’t be available until next week, but the rest of the results should be in by Thursday – I will give updates as I receive them. Most of my symptoms are remaining the same – fatigue, some nausea (but that is less and less) and dizziness. The only addition recently has been headaches. And it is questionable as to whether or not my memory is worse now than previously. You can’t ask me though, I don’t remember!

I cannot believe it is already February. We have three family birthdays this month and at least one friend birthday. It is a good month to celebrate!
We are heading to MD Anderson the last week of February. Eric’s mom is flying down again to help us with the kiddos, which will be great! And we will be celebrating Daniel’s 3rd Bday while in Houston. We plan on going to the zoo – pray for great weather on the 27th!

I am looking forward to the scans – not actually doing them, but getting the results. I fully expect wonderful news from the doctor. Please keep this in your prayers for me – us! I know many of you have prayed faithfully for me and my family and I am so grateful and truly blessed because of this.

Two of the gals at Bible Study had heard about a program for women with cancer called Cleaning for a Reason. It is a non-profit that works with local cleaning businesses to provide once a month house cleaning (for a total of 4 months) to women undergoing treatment for cancer. I submitted my application last night! How could that not be part of my already excellent day? Now I just have to get rid of the clutter so they CAN clean =)
Their website is http://www.cleaningforareason.org/ if you know of someone who could also benefit from this incredible service.

Here’s to another great day ahead!
