Home Again!!

Well, we arrived back home tonight close to 9:00pm by way of Nelsonville from WV. Scott had to see his mom and we dropped the 4-wheeler off so it would be there for camp. That way, Scott won't have to worry about losing weight walking up and down the hill. LOL :)

We had a good time in WV with most of my family there. The kids had a lot of fun too and really enjoyed themselves. Riding 4-wheelers, playing outside, going to the river..When we were driving up our road, almost home, Lauren was saying..."I want to go to the cabin". :) Thank God for his protection on the highways and also all the riding on the 4-wheelers!

Now, it is back to work for me Tuesday night for 3 nights in a row. Kaitlyn and Jon have 9 more days of school!! I can't believe that the school year is almost over. Kaitlyn has one more piano lesson for the year and then her recital on June 7. She had her guild last Friday and got all good marks except for one. She could do a lot better I am sure if I could spend more time with her in practice. But, with everything we have went through this year, she has been pretty much left to practice herself. She has a great teacher, though, and it is amazing what he can get out of her in 30 minutes!! Well, I will close this blog and head toward the bed!!

I am ready for some rest and relaxation!!

Well, we are heading out tomorrow for West Virginia!! Hopefully to rest and relax and enjoy ourselves. Made it through work this week. A very busy week at work, may I add. I saw my oncologist on Wednesday. Just for a check-up. My feet are a little swollen (she said this was the chemo catching up with me..I worked 3 days in a row too which probably didn't help) and I am slightly anemic but otherwise everything is good!! I don't have to see her for 8 weeks!! I have a consultation for radiation on May 30th and will probably start radiation, I am thinking, within a couple weeks. I see my surgeon on June 1, just so he can see my mastectomy site before it is radiated!! I am busy seeing Doctors lately!! I have been busy washing clothes and packing today and I need to get into bed!! Kaitlyn has her Guild for piano at 10:45am, before we leave for WV. I don't think that I will get to see her play...I think that she will just be in front of a judge who grades her. I guess I will find out!! I haven't got to see her perform yet. It doesn't seem to bother her...she doesn't seem to get nervous!.....Well, off to bed!!(at almost 1 am)

Almost there.....

Well, I am in the middle of my 3 days in a row of work. Sunday night was extremely busy at work. The night went fast, but hardly no time to sit down. Last night wasn't bad, until this morning a patient took a turn for the worse. But, we got him turned around doing better by the time I left, thank God. Hopefully tonight will be uneventful!! I have 6 days off in a row after tonight.

Sunday was Lauren's birthday. We are going to have her a party at the family cabin in WV this weekend, but I got her a small cake and let her blow the candles out. I also got her a Dora balloon. She enjoyed it all, even though it was just Lauren, me, Nana and Pappy. Scott, Kaitlyn and Jon went to Logan to fill in for Denny Wilson for Sunday and then Scott and the kids went to Scott's family reunion on his dad's side of the family. Everyone is home now. Kaitlyn has pink eye and had to go to the doctor yesterday. Lauren and I had it this past week too, thanks to daycare. LOL. Anyway, I can't wait until tomorrow and a few days to have some rest and relaxation!!

Thank You, God

Dear GOD:
I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until people say they are sorry or until they stop talking about me; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears ; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until the children are asleep and the house is quiet; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I get promoted at work or until I get the job; I am going to thank you right now. I am not going to wait until I understand every experience in my life that has caused me pain or grief; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I am thanking you right now. I am thanking you because I am alive. I am thanking you because I made it through the day's difficulties. I am thanking you because I have walked around the obstacles. I am thanking you because I have the ability and the opportunity to do more and do better. I'm thanking you because FATHER, YOU haven't given up on me.
God is just so good, and he's good all the time.

Wow!! It is good to have a day off of work. I am not sure what I will get myself into today. I have Kaitlyn and Lauren home with me. Jonathon went to work with Scott. He is working in Coshocton today with his dad and wanted Jon to see the buggies and horses. There must be Amish around where they are working! This will be my last day off until next Wednesday.. I have to work Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night. I am hoping maybe that I will get called off one of those days! Then I will have a week off of work. We will be going to West Virginia to my dad's cabin for Memorial Day weekend. We will leave on Friday and come back home on Monday. A little rest and relaxation! Lauren's birthday is tomorrow, Sunday the 20th of May. She will be 3.
