A.M.<\/strong> Wow, I woke up this morning and just had to journal before the day got “officially” started.\u00a0 I feel great today!\u00a0 It’s only 8:37 A.M. and I’m showered and dressed and<\/em> I’ve been to the mail box!\u00a0\u00a0 (So, my “get ready” time has drastically been cut in half due to my short new do, but that’s okay, because I love it.\u00a0 My hair, that is.\u00a0 I love it.)<\/p>\n I just knew today was going to be full of energy and activity, however, I was quickly reminded that I’m not quite up to par, as my brisk walk to the mail box left me winded and tired.\u00a0 I’m now taking a break, like a good little girl.\u00a0 Just as my body told me to.\u00a0 I’m super excited to be in less pain\u00a0 and have energy today to actually live a little.\u00a0 It may be just bundled up in my house with the girls team on this chilly day, but at least I feel up to it!\u00a0 Yay for Saturdays!<\/p>\n P.M.<\/strong> So, I’m taking another “Mommy time-out.”\u00a0 Today has been great.\u00a0\u00a0 I consider it successful.\u00a0 It’s 4:10 and this is my first “break.”\u00a0 Mel, MC and I went to the Rooster this morning for breakfast. After breakfast, he headed to work and I took MC to the doctor.\u00a0 She’s been coughing like crazy, so I finally took her in. (I was a bit nervous being out alone-images of my experience just yesterday flooded my mind.\u00a0 Passing out in the pediatricians office is not something I ever want to do.\u00a0 Ever-that’s just gross.)<\/p>\n Lucky day, we had no wait.\u00a0 Zilch.\u00a0 None.\u00a0 Crazy.\u00a0 In and out and shopping for candy corn at Wal-greens in less than 15 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0 Later on, McCanless arrived at home (after spending the night with Nonnie) just in time for a newly downloaded Winnie-the-Pooh Heffalump movie, one of my favorite Halloween movies.\u00a0 We’ve played around the house.\u00a0 We’ve been outside.\u00a0 I’ve done laundry. They’ve ruined the house.\u00a0 Wonderfully, typical. \u00a0 Now, the girls are probably wreaking havoc in the neighborhood\u00a0 somewhere.\u00a0 I told them to give me 15 minutes to sit.\u00a0 Hopefully, they are in our<\/em> yard.<\/p>\n I’m tired, but not much more than I probably would feel on a busy but lazy Saturday afternoon. Mel will be home in time for the Carolina game tonight and we’re having Mom’s New England Clam Chowder, my favorite.\u00a0 A glorious typical Saturday!\u00a0 Go Cocks!<\/p>\n Overall Day 6<\/strong> Chemo-Fabulous!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 17-Day 6 A.M.
