Wow. It's been a while. I have been so busy! I have been working and getting things done around the house that I haven't done in a year! All the sudden my eyes have been open to my surroundings again, and I'm not liking what I see! When I was sick I didn't see it. I painted the bathroom last week and then I painted the hallway ceiling. I think I over did it though because this week I have zero energy. It has been so hot here and that doesn't help.  Sue and Pam are coming to help me finish up. Thank god for them!! I hate asking for help, I always did everything myself but I just have to come to realize I don't have the energy like I used to.

I found out last week that I am going to have surgery a week from today.  I am going to have a Oophorectomy and probably a complete hysterectomy. It is all for preventative reasons. I am at a high risk for cancer in those areas so the doctors recommend it. I still don't know how I feel about it yet but it will be less worry for me if I don't have the ovaries.  I am not looking forward to this at all but I am going to do what I have to do.

My friend Jacqui is coming from New Zealand in less than a month. I am so excited to see her. I can't wait to go to the airport and pick her up. We will probably be up the whole night talking that first night. We have so much to talk about. This is something we both only could dream about now it is happening. I only wish that I could go there and visit one day. My family is excited too. Can't wait!!!

We have been working at the Haunted House on the weekends. We have so much fun. Even my mom was there one night. We scare the crap out of people. And Jeff is so big that he really gets them. Mike, Pam, Sue, Megan, Jeffrey all go too. Sue runs it for the little league fundraiser so we all go and help out.  Megan and Karen did all the art work on the trailers and it looks so cool! I will try and get some pictures of it.

Baby Jeffrey is so cute! He is rolling over now and his personality is really starting to show. I love that little stinker!

Trish, how nice that your friends are coming to help with the painting, what would the world be without our "Special Sisters".  You'll be in my special thoughts and prayers during your surgery, sounds like a good preventative decision you've made. Enjoy looking forward to your NZ friend coming to visit, nice that worked out. This is the Haunted House time isn't it, sounds like everyone is enjoying. Jeffrey is a special blessing for you to enjoy, they change daily don't they, so nice you have those moments with him.  Take care.  Bless you....Arlene (AJ)

So good to hear from you, Trish!  I'm glad you are continuing to recuperate, but, be care about overdoing it! lol  It's easy to do that when we get that clean bill of health and start feeling like our old selves again!

I hope you enjoy your time with your friend!  

Stay in touch!

PS  Baby Jeffrey is adorable!   And, a complete hysterectomy will make you a new woman!  Trust me!  I had it done (because of Cancer) when I was 42, and I don't regret it for a minute!  I don't think you will either!

Baby Jeffrey is just adorable!  Love the pictures.  I'm sorry you have to have that surgery, but if it's for the best, you have to do it.    I hope you have a good time with your friend.  What an exotic place.  It would be exciting to go there!  Have fun with the haunted house!  Don't scare the kiddies too bad!  :-)

Jeffrey is so cute!  I am glad you able to be up and about and getting back to normal again.  If I were in your shoes, I would have the surgery....no 2nd thoughts.  Hope it goes well for you and your recover goes smooth.  I've always wanted to go to New Zealand.  Pics of the country are beautiful.  I hate driving around Metro Airport.  Makes me dizzy driving under the bridges with the big fans.  LOL  One time I had to drive in circles thru there several times waiting for my hubby.  I got so dizzy, he had to drive home!  LOL  I've always had problems with going round and round since I was a kid.  Where is the haunted house you're working at?  My daughter lives in the same city as you.  I'd bet she probably goes there.  She goes to several each year.  Will be keeping you in my prayers next week when you go for surgery.  (((Trish))) hugs to you.
Hugs,

Here we go again

And  here we go again. Really? Really?!!! My biggest fear has come true. After eleven years of looking over my shoulder this stupid cancer has come back. I'm more pissed off than scared. Every year I was cancer free, I would announce to anyone that would listen, "it's been five years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, it's been ten years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer" I just reached eleven years in August of 2017 and said with pride, "it's been eleven years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer" This sucks! I am devastated. I just don't want to go through this again. I know what I'm in for......

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe I haven't been on my blog in so long. The days go by so fast and I have been so busy. So much has gone I on don't even know where to start. My mom had a second surgery on her knee. She is doing ok but has been in a lot of pain. She has therapy and the guy has been bending it 100%. I know she is just really bored with being stuck in the house. She is starting to get out more a little here and there though. My computer crashed and I lost all my pictures!! I was a little upset but I'm over it now. Most of them were my vacations pictures. I saved a lot of the pictures of the baby and my kids stuff but I never got around to saving my folder and then CRASH!!! Oh well, life goes on..It's weird how you change after something like cancer...when things like my computer crashing happens it just doesn't feel like the end of the world anymore. lol Megan went on Spring Break to Florida and I was a nervous wreck! I tracked her plane all the way there. I called

I have been missing in action here for a while. My mom is doing pretty good. She is on her third cast now. I think she is just really getting bored with being stuck in the house all the time. We have been going over to see her a lot. The other night we all went over and played poker. Wednesday I we over to have lunch with Mom, Pam, Sue and Megan. We played bingo and Pam even bought prizes. It was so fun. We are just trying to keep her busy because she is a little stir crazy. She will be getting the cast off soon and they will put a softer cast on that will help her gradually bend her knee. Then she has to go in and have the wire taken out that they put in when she had surgery. Her knee still looks awful. Sue took pictures of it when they did the cast change and she has 15 staples and it is still very swollen. I just can't believe she is going through this. I have been on a diet for 3 weeks. So far I've lost 8 pounds! I just cut out all the junk food and snacking at night. I am
