It has been one week today since I have left the house. This chemo really kicks my ass. That being said this is the best day I have had in a week. If I feel this good tomorrow we are getting out of this box. I need groceries and Jamie said he would take me. I have become so weak I am not sure if I can drive by myself. I will try driving next week just to Gibbons to get the mail. I need to get my strength back before He goes back to work in May. Keeping it real 

I have been getting lots of sleep, where a month ago I couldn’t get 3 hours in a row.  I was telling my sister I am getting 6 hours a night, that is great for me. Then I have a nap or two everyday. So I am way up on my sleep. Cathy and Jamie decided that I am sleeping so good because Jamie is here beside me. I think that is the truth, no I know that is the truth. I found this little saying : Sleeping next to someone you love makes you fall asleep faster, reduces depression, and helps you live longer. Thanks Jamie for being next to me every night through this journey, because even when you are away I know you are always there for me ❤️

Having Jamie home right now has been really great, I really need him and his help. Also I love having him around at night, while watching TV, even on the nights he falls asleep on the couch there is comfort in knowing I am not alone in the house. I am even watching hockey with him. Just so glad to have someone to share my long evenings with.  Thanks babe ❤️

Again today I find that friends around us are just so special. We had a package delivered to our door tonight with all kinds of baking goodies. Yummy in out tummies. Jamie jumped right into the cinnamon buns, I had to have one too.  Thanks Pam so much. Your kindness is appreciated 😘 

I also need to thank Gail she sent me a beautiful chemo hat. It is hand made by a friend of hers, it fits perfect and I am using it as my around the house hat. Thanks so much Gail for thinking of me. 😘

This weekend is Easter, and my sister Lynne is hosting Easter dinner at her house. It looks like our whole family is going to be there. That dosent happen very often. We are getting to be a pretty big bunch these days. I kind of feel like everyone is making the effort because of me. You just never know where we will all be next year at this time. I truly hope I am cancer free and have hair any eyelashes back. Lol lol.  But anyway I think all my family reads my blog I want to thank everyone for making the effort this year. It means the world to me. See you all Sunday, hopefully I am feeling good enough for the festivities. 🐇🐣

Last of all we had a power outage tonight for a whole hour. I think it was pretty wide spread by what I read on Facebook. But I got the giggles, Jamie and I were in the middle of a really good movie at the time. When the power went out we just looked at each other and were like so now what do we do ? Wow !!!  We didn’t realize how addicted we were to TV or our          I-Pads. We both picked up our I-Pads and checked out Facebook to see where else the power was out. Scary isn’t it ?  Power came back after an hour we finished our movie and now off to bed. Just keeping it all real. The life of a breast cancer woman..that’s me 

Today’s little saying : A strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time …it takes a husband and wife who take turns being strong for each other, in the moments when the other is weak.. Thanks Jamie for being so strong for me right now. I love you ❤️
