BRAIN TUMORS ROCK!!!

Michelle is in the casa and I am a happy camper.  The energy changed the minute she got out of the car.  It makes me realize how precious time is and I need to see my sisters more.  I have the tumor to thank for the realizations, but I will not be sad to see it go.  It has done its time.  Michelle came bearing gifts of love, new clothes for two weeks and an angel of healing that will make the trip to the hospital with me.  My Aunt Cathy and Uncle Bill came over and made us dinner, dessert and it was delicious.  I am being pampered way more than I deserve.  Michelle already had me to the bank, went to grocery store, made homemade cookies and started my massive heap of filing all in an hours time.  I can not tell you how blessed I am to have her keep me sane before the adios tumor day.  I really feel good and a little guilty for all this pleasure.  I love my sis and I am so happy she is here.

Your SPOILING me!

I just got another care package and I am overwhelmed with all the love that is being delivered my way.  I am saving every email and card that I get and taking them with me to the hospital.  I want to say special thanks to: Melissa Rosa -for the darling necklace with the great message, Tamara-for the beautiful homemade blanket, Michelle, KK, Courtney and Cameron for some really cute pajamas.  I needed those! I will be stylin and looking good.  Michelle Z I loved the flowers.  Every email, every card is so special and counts so much!!  Thank You!  Thank You! Kisses! Kisses!  I feel like I have won the Academy Award. 

A Sunny Sunny Day in Cali

I got 10 hours of sleep last night thanks to Judi's sleep aids-God love her for sharing.  It is a beautiful sunny day and I am feeling really good.  No headaches or pressure.  I feel pretty normal. I was outside today with the kids watching them run their jeeps into everything and I was so happy.  As time is nearing I am understanding that I am growing in my faith and courage.  I was reflecting on life before BT and it was really good, but life after BT already feels different.  I don't think I will take things so seriously.  I need to slow down and be more present to the moment.  My head is spinning and the list just grows and grows.  As you all know I have had my struggles in the past with a blood disorder ITP at 15, struggles with alcohol in my teens, but this lesson is different.  I contribute it  to my own personal growth through the years, being married and having 2 wonderful children.  I think I Get it Now!  I know I am just scratching the surface of what this journey has to offer.  Michelle arrives in 2 hrs.
