If you are a regular follower, you already know that the worst part of chemo, for me, has been the fatigue.


I'm halfway through the "tough" round and the doctors and my fellow pink ladies agree on one thing...you feel it more with the second treatment. It wasn't necessarily worse the second time around but the fatigue was a bit more intense (more sleeping) and it has lasted most of this cycle. Ugh! I can't take 3+ hour naps everyday. It's counterproductive! So today I'm going to take some B6, do some Pilates and then spend the day with my children. Yes, I've kept them home because it's summer break and that's what "normal" people do. I'm so blessed to have the days I have with them. It saddens me a little to know that I'll get 2 days and then go to bed for 5 but I'm also blessed to have wonderful, supportive parents who will take over and keep the kids active, engaged and entertained while I'm doing my Sleeping Beauty impression.
The fact that the kids will be home has given me a bit of a lift for another reason - I get to organize and plan!!! If you know me, you know that this is a wonderful thing! I'm working on a (very loose) daily agenda which will include physical activity, arts & crafts, learning something new and keeping up on school skills!
Today's Silver Lining - sometimes your biggest blessings come wrapped in some ugly packaging (AKA cancer)

I have several posts I need to complete before the treatment train hits so I will go ahead and apologize for the number of posts to come.   :-)

Love to all!
