Open Up and Say "BLAH!"

I just thought I'd post a quick gripe for today. Sometimes it feels good just to complain and then move on, so here's my list!

1. I'm tired. Chemo was tough this week.

2. I'm still bald, but that isn't so bad. Showers are fast.

3. I can't taste anything. This morning I tried an orange ... it tasted like, well, nothing. So I figured I might as well just eat a blob of Cream of Wheat. It tasted like the orange. BLAH!

4. I have 3 sick kids this weekend. Nathan was up last night for 2 hours puking. It's a horrible feeling to have to put on a surgical mask before you can hold your sick little boy. We've gone through a whole can of Lysol in the last day, just sanitizing the bathroom and door knobs. My immune system stinks right now. I hate that my babies are sick too.

5. Ants ... little ones ... they're coming into my house from somewhere. I'm so ready for Spring/Summer ... just not the bugs.

OK ... that's all of my gripes! Thank you for letting me whine this morning. It feels better.

Now, the good stuff!

1. It's a beautiful morning! The sun is shining and the kids are itching to get outside!

2. Nathan is apparently starting to feel better. He's standing in the family room singing at the top of his lungs as I type this!

3. Although she is grounded today for her behaviors yesterday, Anita is being compliant and obedient today (when she remembers) and getting her chores done. This is a HUGE accomplishment for her! She's a good girl ... she just needs more Mommy Time I think.

4. I paid my medical bills for March/April last night. I hate writing those checks, but I'm grateful to have been wise enough to have purchased health insurance before being dx'd with all of this junk! I can't imagine paying it all out of pocket.

5. God gave me today. How blessed am I?

Until Tomorrow,
Kathy
