4.30.15 Morning/ Evening

10:23 AM Whew! I have a few things I really want to get done today, so this might be kind of short! I've already spent a little too much time on facebook this morning. Or it could be I'm almost done with my second cup a java. Our van has been out of commission for about a week. The key finally went bad (it's one of those key fob things) and I was finally able to order a new key this morning. W asked for cinnamon rolls for snack. -___- It's also Thursday which means I like to get most of the laundry completed (sans the teenagers stuff, they know how to use the washer and hey, if you want to go to school with wrinkly clothes, well there are worst things in life). I also like to make sure the fridge is cleaned out for weekend grocery shopping and the bill calendar is updated from the bills. Plus today is the last day of the month, so I need to look at the month ahead, and lastly, treatment Monday. Weekends before treatment are my best physically and most challenging mentally. I feel things changing though, I'm embracing the fact that these treatments are nearly as taxing on my body and therefore I can release that in my mind. I can do ALL things!

To Do:
Laundry:
Dishes: DONE! (already!)
Paperwork: update!
Computer: Print calendars, Set up printer to laptop
Quilt: finish sewing pieces
Dinner: chicken, sweet and sour crockpot (this one I'm going to try and wing it, no pun intended)

Okay, love you all! Love you, love me, love you, love me!

I had a doozy of an afternoon and here it is 8PM and I'm ready for bed! Even with caffeine this morning and a short walk this afternoon, I was STILL TIRED/ SLEEPY almost all day. I managed to keep away from the dreaded (yes, dreaded) nap. I did the cinnamon rolls, (they came out kinda hard, so next week I will try a different recipe). I didn't get any laundry done, so I'll throw a load in after I log off. I got dinner done, cleaned out the fridge of leftovers and *barely* got the bills into the calendar for next month. Whew! I did get a call for a PET/BONE scan tomorrow, so no carbs until then. Okay I'm already thinking of a to-do for tomorrow, blech. But I knew this wasn't going to be easy. A challenge. Love you, love me, love you, love me.

For those wondering, I'm posting my to do and tada lists as a motivation that I am moving on from laying in this stinkin' bed and moving. For now I'm going to take this one day at a time and not worry about over/ under doing it. We will see if this works! I did do this at one time years ago when the older kiddos where younger and I was working. Lots of love to all of you. I will be posting some recipes here too hopefully!

Love you, love me, love you, love me!

4.28.15 Evening

This is my chance! My first evening post! I kinda have to hurry, I took my sleeping pill and if it hasn't kicked in, it's going to! Note: I take it and have to be laying down, ready to sleep. Ah well.
     So today was a good day, an eventful day. I had lots of goals and got quite a bit done. Didn't get any craft work done, but eh. Spent a little too much time on facebook and watched one too many episodes of "The Next Food Network Star". In my reality, who cares, I mean I care right now who will win, but will I care a year, five years from now? Eh. I didn't walk today, but I did get to spend a few minutes outside on the deck, enjoying the sunshine. I made chocolate chip cookies for the kids. They enjoyed that. I remember once in the last few years, praying I would be able to be in my kitchen, baking for my kids. And I was today! Every night, I catch myself wondering, will tomorrow be a "Sleep-All-Day" day? I have those. I will sleep until 10AM be up for a few hours then crash again until 5 and force myself to stay up until 9 or 10 then back to sleep. I can't seem to figure out if it's a form of depression or side effects or what! Ah well, prayers then I guess. I started reading through the Bible a year ago and got off track around April 21st (that's where the book mark was anyway). I picked back up a few days ago and am all caught up, so it'll be Through the Bible in two years. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to saying I'm going to do something, and trying to follow through. Thus all of my 1/2 finished crafts, I KNOW I WILL FINISH THEM! When I was going through the really tough chemo, I flew through my projects. My reason? I thought, I don't want someone else to have to finish these if I pass on. Truely. That was my thinking. Not that morbid, I'm going to die, just I better get this done. Then I started thinking about all of the people who have helped and I want to give them something I created with my own hands. Then I got off track by starting new Christmas projects. Afters Christmas that year, I never went back to my 1/2 projects. Ha. Just putting this in black in white, gives me motivation to finish them and post pictures. Okay I have to end this. I need a good ending line, should I just stick with Love you, love me, love you, love me?

Hi: Cleaned our "family room/ den/ laundry room"
Lo: My beadwork is still waiting
Mama: Baked cookies for my kids
Wife: I got an extra kiss and I'm so proud of you from Bill. (Acts of Service a clean house for him)
Me:I read my Bible!
