Hey Circle Girls - I have alot of catching up on reading this tread, but I wanna share this song. It was on ER tonight, I always loved it and I think it is perfect for our sisters in the center. Sing along and hurry on out to the outer circle...
Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll be brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll put it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Ooh-oo child, things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll be brighter
Ooh-oo child, things are gonna be easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll be brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll put it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Some day, some day, some day
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, some day, some day
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll be brighter
Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll be brighter
Right now
You just wait and see how things are gonna be
Right now
LOVE TO YOU ALL0 -

Hey everyone! We need to move Carrie to the red cross wagon. She was admitted to the hospital today by her Dr. They are running tests and trying to get her breathing under control. She could sure use our comfort right now. She's a little nervous.
Love ya,
Denise0 -
Just checked in for a bit before bedtime. Tough week for me work wise, so I'm terribly tired tonight. So looking forward to the weekend and camping.
Shel - good to hear from you!
Puppy - I'll keep you in my thoughts & prayers, as I will everyone else.
Vickie - my dh reminded me tonight that I cried one evening after dx, wishing I'd had my kids at 22 & 25 instead of 32 & 35, so that I'd have seen them married & raising families already. How's that for guilt!
One of the nice things about this circle - even if we feel like we need a bu!! kicken, most of us aren't very athletic anymore. I know I personally I wouldn't be much better than a one-legged gal in an a$$ kicken contest!
I'll throw another log on the fire - it's cold here on my side of the circle tonight, so going to head to bed and hope dh has it warmed up. My best to you all. I'll try to check in tomorrow before we leave for the weekend. Cookie0 -
Carrie-
Big hugs and prayers for you. I hope you are feeling better and resting well in the hospital and will be home soon. Id tell you a joke, but I dont want to make you laugh and start a coughing fit.
Shel- I hope you are healing up. You're in my thoughts. Be strong and be kind to YOURSELF.
Debby5 you are in my prayers and I will keep you close to my heart tomorrow. Jesus take the wheel girlfriend. You will be just fine.
Christine-
I love that song...now you have me humming it
Susan-
It sounds like you have your plate full. Things add up dont they? I hope you are feeling better. Ill keep you in my prayers. Is the carpel tunnel from too much typing on the computer??
Peggy-
I hope work calms down soon! I would play the cancer card with the boss. Goodness knows we dont get much out of this cruddy dx at least you might get a good Christmas gift out of the deal. LOL
Amy-
Just exactly how many critters do you have in that wagon? I got a laugh out of your lab with her little shorts on too funny. I love your attitude girlfriend!
Nicki-
So, hows that resume comin? You know we only nag because we think you would be GREAT at the job Thanks for all you do.
Liz-
Glad to hear you are not infected like I am but allergies are no fun either. I know what you mean about the pills. Sometimes it feels like half the bulk of my diet comes in tablet or capsule form!
Vickie-
Hope you dodged the lightening. I dont want to be reading any headlines about you getting zapped! Give that darling son of yours a big hug from me. Loving someone is ALWAYS the right decision. In your heart you know you did right by making him a part of your family. Guilt is a useless emotion just love that boy up good!
MB-
Hope you and your party boob had a great night out with hubby. The pigs in a blanket were good! It is one of my kids favorites I had one for them too...oink oink!
RondaB-
Hope you have a great camping trip. I think wood smoke is great medicine for just about anything! Relax and have a super time poke the fire and watch the sparks swirl up in the sky. I hope you win big at the picnic.
Lisa-
Thanks for thinking of smores. Ill take all the sugar I can get tonight! Im glad you have a plan in place. You sound like you have really thought things through. Rest up and be kind to yourself. You are in my prayers.
Kristen-
Glad chemo is going well. Keep the positive attitude and take care of yourself. Dont worry about TMI we have all been there. Dont try and do too much. Rest some even if you feel good.
Wendy-
Acute angina?? LOL that was TOO funny.
(((((((((((((((((((((((wendy))))))))))))))))))) We always have extra hugs around here. Hope you are doing well.
Tbytes-
May peace be with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mena-
Thanks for sharing last night. I feel like a wimp some times .Rads should be easier than this. Im glad that Im not the only one that has a hard time making myself keep going. I just want to go home and be with my family. It helps to know that Im not crazy to hate it so bad.
JoJo-
Your jokes were great. Thanks for making me laugh. Hope you are doing great.
Lini-
Hope you are all decaffeinated and feeling fine. I hate trying to get caffeine out of my system. It is my drug of choice! My foggy brain cant remember when your surgery is Is it tomorrow? Next week? Arggg when ever it is, Ill keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us updated when you can.
No surrender-
Hope you are doing well. I always look forward to your posts. Hope the tree trimming is all done and the guys with the saws didnt cut through anything else important. I hate it when I dont have my internet connection.
OK girls I know I missed people, but the circle is getting so large it is hard to see all the way across. Im still praying for everyone here. I think of you all often during the day.
My cold is feeling a bit better tonight. Im making a mug of hot cider and hitting the sack early. Ill leave a jug of cider and some butterscotch schnapps by the fire if anyone wants a little toddy tonight.
Hugs
Deb C.0 -
Good Morning all: Its definitely chilly on this side of the circle. Still dark out but I can see any stars, so it must be cloudy. There is a crisp wind - the kind that only comes with fall. Or even worse, winter!! The scent of fall is in the air and the campfire is warm.
I was so bad last night. I wake up and its like walking in my sleep. Found 2 Reeses peanut butter cups and quickly shoved them in my mouth. Then went right back to sleep. So that blows my low carb diet for yesterday. And I was down to 6 pounds!
Vickie: storms scare the heck outta me. Lighting and thunder oh my! Your a mom - period. Adoption or not. Makes no difference. And a wonderful mom you are.
Puppy: So the day is here. Have been all saddled up and ready. Hope they get your BP under control and that the surgery goes well. We are with you all the way.
Shel: Men are such jerks - and then add the component of them being entertainers - Oh what babies they can be!! They are their own emotional wrecks and then lay the guilt on others. I just gave your hubby a quick kick in the butt and reminded him he should be happy it was a kick. Cause biting? Im very good at biting.
Amy: I think I have told all of you about my dog. His name is "Mister" and he is half black lab, half border collie and all monster. Before I brought him home, I told my husband all I want is a dog that will be happy to see me when I come home and a dog that will lay next to me in bed. Well - be careful what you wish for. When I come home from work I always have a treat in my hand. Thats the only way I can stop him from jumping on me and knocking me over. Then he rounds around the house with the treat in his hand crying. Once he finishes eating his treat, then I have to let him put his paws on my shoulders and lick the heck outta me. And oh, so gooey - he is a jowls boy with lots of spit. Bruises - yes! And at night not only does he lay by me, but he inches me off the bed!! Ah, ya just gotta love our animals!
Peggy: I sure do understand stress at work! Having the same problem here. Its just so busy and everyone is snapping at each other. I have been so busy! And it has really cut down on my computer time. But! TGIF - I plan on having a relaxing weekend. And will definitely have much more time to chat with you all.
lizws: I am so glad its allergies because I do need your help in the medic tent. I hate taking pills too, but my xanax is my friend. I will fight anyone who tries to take it away from me!
NS: One time I brought my cat in to get groomed. They misunderstood what I said. Went to pick him up and they had shaved everywhere but his head!! Looked absolutely ridiculous. At first I cried - what did you do to my poor baby - but when I got home I laughed my head off. And continued laughing until his hair grew back. No resume yet, I think I am the biggest procrastinator in the world. Will pull up my old resume this week-end. Tweek it, and sent it.
Cheryl: great frog story. For some reason, even though I live in the suburbs, every once in a while, my dog comes in from outside and brings me a gift. Yes - a live frog!
Susua: Oh how I have missed you. So glad to see you post. High blood pressure stinks. I was exercising the other day and felt soreness in my knees and I thought about you right away. I hope you are feeling better. The red cross wagon has lots of things - including stress management. I wonder if there is a connection between the migraines and the high blood pressure. Good luck! I have been on BP medication for about 12 years!
christine: Great song. I must go out and get a James Taylor CD today.
Carrie: Oh I am so sorry you ended up in the hospital. Hope they are bombarding all those germs with antibiotics IV. Whenever I get a cold, it goes to bronchial asthma. The worst part!! Hope you get to go home soon - I always feel so much better sleeping in my own bed.
Cookie: I hope you have fun camping.
Deb C.: Im so lazy. I think this week-end I will pull up my resume from my computer and tweek it some. Dang it, I wish I had my spirit back. Any other time I would be right on it. I used to always believe I could have any job I wanted. But since bc, I have lost my spunk.
Mena, Kristin, Lini, purpleMB - and anyone else I may have missed. Sending love and hugs to all of you.
Coffee is on. Gotta go to everyones wagon. We need to get up early. Gotta be there for puppy and must stop by Carrie too. Its gonna be a busy day here in circle land.

Good morning all
As Nicki mentioned its a busy day in circle land. We have carrie to go see and then hopefully the blood pressure got under control for puppy and she is having her surgery today so that she can get on the road to recovery.
Nicki-I know what you mean about the dog. I have a full bed and sometimes find myself being scooted over and over until I am hanging on. Nothing like waking up and finding out which one I am sharing my pillow with. Dogs I have many! I am a softey at heart and cant say no to a stray dog. I think the word is out to drop it close to my house and I will take it in. I have a golden retreiver/border collie (Chance) that looks all golden but just smaller in size..about 45 pounds. Hes a sweetie and minds excellent. I have 2 chihuahuas-a blondie(Sammie)4 pounds that is a princess and a male (spunky)10 pounds that is mr crabby. He is content to live in his own little world and loves to get close and snuggle but only on his terms. I have a rat terrier (orion) that is a snuggle bug. He's male but lets just say hes a little light in his loafers. He gets on his back and swirls around to give kisses while lying on his pink blanket. Yes hes different to say the least. He's little and weighs 6 pounds. I also have the austrailan cattle dog (Bandie) 35 pounds and the bull in the china shop and then the newly acquired lab walking around in shorts. I actually think she likes them. I was changing her last night before bed and when I took them off she followed me to get more as if to say, hey dont leave me naked. Her name is Shad and probably 50 pounds. I think I buy more dogfood than people food but I love them and they make me smile. Give Mister a big ol hug for me. Does he enjoy the doggie ice cream? My dogs love it but sure makes for some sloppy kisses afterwards.
Susan-I do hope you get your blood pressure under control and it sounds as if the DH could be playing a role in that,,lol. Whining is always allowed in the circle.
Carrie-thinking of you and hoping you get out of the hospital soon because that is not a fun place to be.
Christine-Love the song and one of my favorites-Now I will spend the day humming it.
Nickie-resume,,nag nag nag-We only do this because we know that job has your name written all over it. I cant believe you say you have lost your spunk-Sure doesnt seem that way on here. Maybe a fresh job is what you need to get that spunk back. You would be perfect for it.
RhondaB-have fun camping and hope you win the best door prize. Be sure and think of us circle girls as you enjoy the fire.
AlaskaDeb-thanks for that hot toddy. It was perfect.
Puppy-thinking of you today as you undergo surgery.
Shel-I understand the statement that men are jerks. Maybe thats why I am divorced???
Peggy-hope your work load improves. It sounds as if you are more than busy here lately.
Mena-hope things are going well for you and that you are not running yourself crazy and relaxing by the fire at times. Listen to your body and sometimes we do have to stop and rest even though we dont want to. Remember we are kicking METS together,,ok? We can share NED.
To all of those I have missed I am thinking of you. The circle gets larger and larger and with the morning fog on the ground it is hard to see everyone. Chemo brain doesnt help either when you cant remember.
Tossing a log on the fire-High today here on my side of the circle is 73 wooohooooo! Loving this weather.
I have been working on a smaller wagon for Mazer the Tazer the baby donkey to pull so when I get that finished and you see me being pulled frantically around the circle somebody save me. I might better get an anchor to toss off to make her slow down.
I will be checking in later. Amy0 -
Oh my! Its a quiet day in the circle. Guess we have been busy making sure everyone is ok.
Has anyone heard from Robin? Hope she is ok.
Cant stay on long, just peaking for right now and just wanted to say hi.
Nicki0 -
Good afternoon circle girls,
Just checking in to see if we had heard any word from anyone.
It looks as if it has been a quiet day in the circle. I sure hope Mayzer the Tayzer my baby donkey didnt run anybody off. Shes such an angel,,,lol!
Can't you tell? Only an angel would love on her mommy like that.
Amy0 -
Amy: mayzer the tazer didnt run anybody off. The baby donkey has become quite good friends with Distored Humor. The poor baby now thinks he/she might be a thoroughbred!!
Ok! Im very worried about Robin. Has anyone heard from heard? Her last post was 9/21 and I know he scans were due 9/27. Just hoping everything is ok.
Dec C. You are officially 2 weeks done with rads and hopefully your with your family. Hope your cold is better.
Kristin: How goes it 3 days post chemo? Hope things are well.
For dinner I thought we would have a whole bunch of different appetizers, just to munch on and talk as we sit by the campfire. I've got Pinot Grigio. Gonna bring some buffalo wings, stuffed mushroom caps, nachos and fresh salsa, tiny meatballs, vegetables with dip, and pigs in a blanket. Bring a dish if you want or just come sit by the fire and enjoy.
Nicki0 -
OH my, was just checking out the "how about drinking thread." Lini is bringing Tequila!! Now that will warm your tummy.
Nicki0 -
I love reading all of your great circle stories. I think about all of you, even if I don't always chime in. However, I just had to say something to Vicki. I think I read you adopted a little boy at 39 and are feeling like people are looking at you strange. Well, I had a baby at 39, almost 40. He was only 4 when I was dx. Yes, I have older children, too, but all I could think of at first was I wouldn't be there for the little one. Well, Here I am, and he is 6. You are his mom and every moment you are with him is worth it. People think I'm crazy, too, but that's ok. I love my babies and am very thankful for every single one!!!!!!!
Hoping all are well. Praying for those of you who are struggling. Can I add a little for myself? A couple of weeks ago my dr was a little worried about some possible scar tissue on my mastectomy side. It's been an ongoing problem, so he ordered a PET scan, which I had today. I took the day off for it and hoped to have a little r and r as well, but that didn't quite pan out. However, I am more concerned about this potential problem than I am letting on to people. I have my follow up on Thurs, so will have to wait until then for results. I asked the tech if they would be sooner and they said it wouldn't even be sent in until Mon, so Thurs is about as good as it gets.
This is minor compared to most of you in the circle, but I've been close to tears all day! Hormones (or lack of them) are playing havoc right now.
Peggy, I hope the effexor works. It helped me, but I haven't refilled it lately due to lack of funds. I'm trying to get by with my generic prozac leftovers for right now.0 -
Hey girls, chemo day 4 is almost over and things are not too bad! Mostly just tired and achy. Today was my first day without an Emend pill to take and I was nervous, but nausea never came. My mom arrived from Pittsburgh last night to stay the weekend, so it makes things much easier with the boys and weekend chores.
JoJo Thanks for the jokes. A good laugh is just what I needed as I settled down to read these posts .feeling a little tired of being tired!
Carrie I hope you feel better soon. I am sending big hugs your way that things get easier for you real soon.
Newvickie I know what you mean, both my guys are snuffly and I have to constantly remind them to use tissues and NOT their SHIRTS. Yuck! Adopting a child is such a wonderful expression of love and giving, and nothing can ever take that away. There is nothing selfish about it.
Lisa40 It sounds like you are making progress with your plan and hopefully all will be smooth sailing. They should make a stage 3 1/2 for you. Either way, you will get through this thing and beat it!
Deb C So glad you are feeling better. I cant imagine how difficult it is to be away from your family during the week but you are strong and you are doing it!
Ronda Good luck with the employee drawings! Hope you win a great prize!
Lizws The Neulasta shot hurt going in! Yeouch! But so far have not had much in the way of bone pain. I was a little achy but Advil took care of it. Hopefully that is the worst of it, but I will relax more once I get past days 5 and 6! Thanks for asking! I am glad to hear you just have allergies and not a virus (although allergies can be incredibly annoying) but the severe stress is not good! Heres hoping you are able to de-stress.
Debbyfive You have been in my thoughts and prayers today and I am so hoping that all has gone smoothly with your surgery
Peggy Stress at work sucks, especially when it is not the only stress you have! I do hope things let up for you soon!
Susan Here is a (((hug))) for you. You can have as much cheese as needed to go with as much whine as needed! And lets add some crackers and fruit too!
Christine Cool lyrics. Thanks!
Nicki Dont beat yourself up about the peanut butter cups! Being down 6 pounds is something to be really proud of! You didnt blow it, just got sidetracked briefly. You can get back on track, I just know it!
Amy What a cute picture of Mayzer! She looks like a very good baby donkey!
Well, I am going to hit the hay early tonight, ladies. I received this really cool arrangement of cookies made to look like a bouquet of flowers, but I just cannot eat cookies right now, so I will put them out in the circle for anyone to enjoy! They are sugar cookies frosted in beautiful colors to look like flowers and butterflies. Enjoy!!
*Hugs*
Kristin0 -
SO here we are the end of September... is it just me or is this the fastest month? February always seems like the longest month to me too.
I would say we should be preparing for our first Wagon Circle Halloween, but I already have seen three CHRISTMAS! Commercials on tv! IN SEPTEMBER!
We will be having a Halloween Parade in the circle....
So think about what you will dress up as and if you want to dress your horses, donkeys, harleys or mules too.
October isn't any more special in the Wagon Circle because EVERY MONTH is Breast Cancer Awareness Month for us. We have our very brave and special inner circle girls who have gone back in to battle the Beast and we are right there behind them to give them all the love and support they need.
We have our girls undergoing scans or trying to find a protocal that will work for them and we are holding their hands right along with them.
We have girls who do not have BC related issues, but terribly worrisome issues all the same- today Debby had her heart surgery and today is another day that our dearest sister Carrie was in the hospital.
We have girls hurting from exchange surgeries, side effects, family problems and just the worries of day to day life as a cancer survivor/fighter.... as our namesake mascot horse, we are here for Emotional Rescue.
Thank you to everyone who has made this Circle the warm, welcoming and wonderful place it is. I can't think of a more comforting place, or a place where I feel closer to all my sisters.
Love,g0 -
So why does everyone make me bring the tequila? You all don't trust my cooking, huh?? Mena, I'm passing the bottle to you.
I still have my A/C on, but I've warm quilts to loan out if anyone needs one for snuggling.
Hugs to all.
lini0 -
Hi all,
This is me again today.
But to cheer everyone up instead of depressing them, have you ever heard of "Cows with Guns". It's a hilarious animation. LMAO the first time I saw it.
Cows With Guns
Susan0 -
Oh yeah, I tried to call RobinTN. Got an answering machine. I told her we were all thinking of her.
Anyone heard from Debbyfive? I guess it's too early, huh.0 -
Glad you called Robin as I don't have long distance service on my phone.I am very worried about her.Hope that chemo isn't making her too awfully sick.She hasn't answered my PMs so I know she is feeling bad, keep her in our thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Lisa0 -
Praying for Robin.

We must pray for Robin, I do not like it that we haven't heard from her!
And girls, we need to keep Carrie VERY CLOSE in the inner circle tonight. Our dear sweet one is still in hospital and I am really missing her and wanting her here... I pray she is getting good care and will be better soon.
And Deese... you come sit by my wagon while we wait on our sister... I know how worried you are and we can't have you getting overtired and overstressed because of your own health problems now. Come sit by the fire. I brought lots of yummy things for all of us.
Circle Girls... tomorrow night is the party with the Chocolate Fountain....I know the minute I walk in and see it I will feel all of you standing behind me...well maybe nudging me or more likely pushing me out of the way to get to it! So I feel like even though I have a long drive there to and from the party, I am taking a whole wagon train with me....
Love to all my dear sweet sisters,
g0 -
Carrie, sending special thoughts your way tonight. Susanmcm, I sent Robin an email earlier this week but she hasn't replied back yet. NS, a chocolate fountain - yum - that is my idea of heaven!
Margaret0 -
Carrie, Deb 5, Robin Lisa and all the others in the inner circle special prayers for each of you.
May you find the strength you need to heal quickly!
Lini, pass the tekillya and I'll bring some So. Comfort too!
Hugs & praers0 -
Good morning everyone. Yes its early, yes is my day off, and yes Im a nut for not sleeping later when I can!!
Its such a habit for me. I wake up and the first thing I think about is coming to the wagon circle to hear how everyone is. Its very quiet. Rained last night, so the ground is moist and I cant see any stars so it must be cloudy. The campfire feels good. Just put on a bunch of logs. I love the smell of burning embers. Im once again enjoying my first cup of coffee - there is lots for everyone. So here I sit, just reading and thinking about all of you. Last day of September. Reminds me of the song by Green Peace (When September Ends). Way too early for breakfast, so I think I will just sit here a while.
Sherry: So nice to see you come to the circle for a bit. Good advice you gave to vickie. So how is your daughter in college doing? And how is the play your in going? Im hoping everything is well.
Kristin: Im so glad things went well after your first chemo. Get all the rest you can. Glad you mom came to help you.
NS: you are so right about October. "Breast Cancer Awareness Month." Unfortunately, we here in the circle are all too aware of bc. It goes much beyond making people aware - I had a good friend tell me she always gets her mammogram done in October. Thats how she makes sure she gets one every year. But for us in the circle - we are dealing with much bigger issues. Now Im personally a pink lady. I love it. Im not sick of it. Always looked good in pink, even as a little girl. I hope some of you dont mind, but I set up a special wagon that will be illuminated pink all through October. Mostly to say thank you to all the women who right now are fighting. Stage 4 women on clinical trials deserve a standing ovation. It is you who are the bravest. I make each day of October special. Will just think about where I have been and where I am going.
Lini: Thanks for the tequila. It sure was fun last night. But ah, this morning, I do have a bit of a headache. Must be I woke up too early. Couldnt be the tequila could it? I have a big pot of decaffienated coffee brewing just for you lini when you wake up.0 -
Ok! I edited too much. It wont let me edit anymore. So Im just continuing where I left off.
Susan: you always come up with the greatest pictures. And the cow pic was very funny. Laughing out loud here. Im so glad you called Robin and left a message. At least she knows we are thinking about her. Im just hoping everything is ok and that the scans went well. Have a special place in the middle of the circle for her. Warm cozy blanket or A/C depending upon which side of the circle she chooses. Have medic tents on both sides.
Margaret: Maybe if we twist NS arm she will bring the chocolate fountain to the circle after the party. Oh we could have so much fun. I will bring all kinds of fruit. Maybe one side of the fountain could be milk chocolate and one side dark chocolate. Oh this is making me hungry.
Cheryl: Southern Comfort in some tea is just wonderful. Can I borrow some. Will bring it to the quaranteen campers who have colds.
Carrie: we do miss you so much. I hope things are going well and you get to come home soon.
Ok! time to walk the perimeter of the circle. No need to wake anyone up early. Will just peak in to make sure everyon is ok. Then I might just go for a brisk ride through the path in the woods on my horse. I feel like riding in the wind today.
Be back later for breakfast.

Sept 27 2006 at 7:30 am.whew thats early.But then again they are slow as Christmas.
See you'all there..
This was Robins last post. We are so very worried about you Robin. I hope everything is ok.

Thanks for the decaf., Nicki. You are always so thoughtful. I've been drinking boiled water in the mornings. I still need something hot to keep the pipes working. The cup of water reminded me of the first person that I knew that succumbed to the beast. It was my Jr. High science teacher, Ms. Tassel. She was young, maybe 30-something. She always had a cup of hot water with her in the morning. She said that she didn't like coffee or tea, but needed something hot. I had her in 8th grade and remember she passed from BC a year, or so later. It's funny, don't you think, that I know this? It was back in the early 70's. I'm surprised that they let it out that she passed from a woman's disease to a bunch of kids. Ms. Tassel is in my thoughts and prayers today,as is Robin. I hope that you are doing okay, Robin. Let us know when you can.
I have a moist, Lemon Bundt cake to share. I tell you, all this virtual talk of goodies really packs it on.
It's cool this morning. May I borrow one of my quilts back? Hoping I don't have to turn on the A/C later.
Prayers to all my sisters this morning.
lini0 -
Day 5 is here and I am still OK! Still achy and tired, but otherwise fine! Thank you so much, sisters, for getting me through my first chemo! My next infusion is not until 10/17, so I will move my wagon to the outer circle for awhile.
Praying for Carrie, Debbyfive, Robin, Lisa and Susan, and anyone else who needs it.
I feel like having breakfast for lunch today, so I am cooking up a whole bunch of waffles and sausages. And I have carefully washed and sliced fresh strawberries and raspberries to put on the waffles for those of you who love fruit! And of course I have fresh creamery butter and sweet, sticky maple syrup! So come and have some if you are hungry!
*Hugs*
Kristin0 -
Thanks, Nicki, for the welcome. I am also waiting to hear knews of Debbi5 and Robin.
My little girl is doing really well, especially in her classes. Her biggest problem is she desparately is looking for a "bud". She is hard to get to know, but is lonely, especially on weekends. She calls every day, and as much as I like talking to her, she really needs someone at school to bond with. She's coming home next Thurs for a long weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing her.
The play is done. I'm going through withdrawal. I loved the cast members so much and we spent so much time together that I feel a little lost. Thanks all of you for being here. I know I can count on you.
That chocolate fountain sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see it!0 -
Hi all,
Sheri...thanks and hugs to you, and nothing that worries us is minor here, its the "new normal".
Kristin...hugs and thanks to you. Remember to drinks...LOTS..so glad you have your mom there with you to help out.
Saying prayers for Debbyfive and RobinTN...hopefully we will hear some good news soon.
Christine...I love that song!
NS...you always have the best ideas! A chocolate fountain party sounds like just what everyone needs and wooohoo a parade...thinking of a costume!
Carrie...get better soon, we need you here.
Lini...have my propane fireplace on here, snuggling with my little guy who's not feeling much better yet but we're working on it.
A funny thing...well, not really funny but odd since I had been feeling bad about adopting Nathan...his birth mom called me last night (or the night before...can't remember)and low and behold...she's pregnant again! Not only pregnant but homeless too! I think she's due in February...another baby for me????? She was told after having Nathan that she would never be allowed to keep another child and it was not advisable for her to ever get pregnant again so who knows what will happen. Maybe she's grown up some now and will get her act together but I seriously doubt it.
Spent too much money at Bath and Body Works this morning!! Sending you all beautiful scents and healing lotions.
Love

Hi everyone, Wow! I wasn't home yesterday and haven't caught up on everything yet. I do hope we hear something soon about Robin and Deb5.
Kristin, you are doing great girl! Lunch was wonderful and now I have to walk an extra mile or two.
lini, I love lemon cake. It was delicious. A/C was just turned on here. I wish this weather would make up it's mind.
Carrie, hope you're feeling better.
NS, I was at a store yesterday with my DH and saw a chocolate fountain. Started laughing and had to explain about everyone here..LOL.
Hope everyone is well. Need to head to the stream and wash out a few clothes. Man those rocks are hard on the nails aren't they?
Hugs to you all.....
