so far today i:

made breakfast
made lunch
washed clothes (2nd load about to go into dryer)
loaded dishwasher
decorated a turkey picture with caroline & mikey
snuggled mikey on the couch
packed backpacks for school (caroline & mikey)
changed diapers
dressed bennett

why do i feel like i've done nothing but played freaking bejeweled all day? i HATE that game for sucking me in. HATE IT. i keep waiting to burn out on it like i did with mafia wars.

killing.me.slowly.

she has worn it nearly every day for the last 2 weeks and it's making my head throb.

:guruwannabe

why don't you just tell her that while you love the scent on her, it's really doing a number on your sinuses, and would she please not wear it until they're all cleared up

yeah, that sounds good.

I'm just a wimp.

Boo for feeling crappy :hugs

i'm having a no fair pity party for myself today.

i'm getting a little freaked out about mikey's health for no real reason. he looks good, his tests have all been good .....

it's just his testicular relapse was almost 18 months ago. that is the longest time we've gone without a relapse. the doctors (all of them not just the new ones) are telling me that a bone marrow relapse would be "a very steep hill to climb" and a CNS relapse would be "devastating". I'm anxious all the time. i can't let go of that "what if it comes back" fear.

there's more......

i'm really frustrated and angry about what's going on with caroline. i feel (here's where the no fair part comes in) like ...

isn't a kid with cancer enough? haven't i paid my dues? wtf?

we don't even know what's wrong with her but i'm so sad because it seems like the older she gets the more obvious it is. we were grocery shopping friday night and some kids (about 7 or 8) were making fun of her and she didn't even know it. it just broke my heart.

i'm just not sure where i'm going to find the heart to face reality, keep fighting all these but still try to be hopeful.

Sara, just stop right there! Do NOT give the devil a foothold one more second! Don't you realize he's LOVING this? He's feeding off your feelings, placing those thoughts of fear and doubt in your head.

God doesn't play like that. He's not a God of fear. He's a God of HOPE, MIRACLES, LOVE, I could go on and on.

You're one of the BEST mommies I know, don't ever doubt that. You go above and beyond for EACH of your children, not just the one fighting cancer, for ALL of them!!

You know my advice to you..it's the same as it's always been. The minute you start feeling this way and the minute the devil sneaks into your thoughts, REBUKE him immediately, pray, focus on the 18 months of remission God has given Mikey and praise him for that!!

Hugs - Jenn said it beautifully.

I imagine what you feel is so normal, but you are blessed in the fact that Mikey is doing well. I always have him in my thoughts and prayers.

Yeah what she said hugs & prayers and strength

I have been mia for so long I am not sure I know whatis going on with Caroline. If you think I might be able to help at all feel free to PM me here or on Facebook. I feel like I know WAY too much about disabilities and delays and may have some ideas.

Sonya · Guru

Sara, I wish I had something wise to tell you.

I love you and am here for you anytime.

You are a great mom and you don't deserve to have one more moment of worry.

sappy · Guru

thanks guys. sorry about the whining.

sonya - what do you think about the job you interviewed for? i think you said the interview with the president went well... thoughts?

Sonya · Guru

I think it looks good. They are a people focused company (completely opposite of my current company).

great benefits, etc.

the biggest reason i'd go is that two of my former coworkers (from different companies) are there and I'd love the chance to work with them again.

I'll have to see if/what they offer me but it looks good.

just what I need. To add one more bit of madness to my life.
