Here is your quote for today:
The most interesting
people I know
drink in life
and savor every drop-
the sweet and the sour.
The good and the bad.
The planned
and the unplanned.
(Dark blue is my new color... it stands for Colon Cancer)
The last two mornings I have been treated to breakfast what a treat, because I love breakfast food. Thanks Angie and Cindy.
With all this help my house will be so well organized my family won't be able to find anything. Thanks to my sister-in-law Anne you were a great help.
Once again dinner was delivered by Nancy, soup, bread and brownies. Plus my good friend Gerri dropped off her famous mac-n-cheese. I am sitting her waiting for it to get done. The Cleaning Good Fairy came again today and cleaned my house. (thanks Dawn). My family is going to get spoiled with all the clean sheets and house.
We just got home from my CAT SCAN! Had to drink again, boy do I hate doing that. I also had to give blood. All went well. The drive home was the worse part. Matt's 4 wheel drive went out on the truck. So we slipped and slid all the way home.
Oh I forget to mention we were woken by Myles screaming last night: "MOM!!! the rain is coming in from my ceiling. !" We looked and it was also coming in our living room and kitchen. Boy when it rains it pours. Does anyone know a good roofer???
I was so glad I got to go to church today. Thanks to Cindy for picking me up. Forty days and forty nights, I am giving up Colon Cancer for life. How does that sound???
Thanks for everyone who is making comments on the blog, they are very inspirational. Keep them coming.
Also, I am enjoying all the cards. They sure lift up my spirits.
Well that is all for know I am going to go watch American Idol and get a few good laughs. Some of them sing worse than me... and that's pretty bad!
Remember to ...Live, Love and Laugh... one day at a time.

February 4, 2008 Meraculous Monday
I would like to start off with a poem written by Thelma Wells, it comes from the book Laughter & Latte, given to by my friend Gerri. It goes like this: When you have nothing
to laugh about, laugh anyway.
Soon you'll feel
the healing power
of joy and laughter
bringing new energy and life
to your weary,
frustrating day.
That is how Matt and I felt when we finally got the phone call from the doctor. Our prayers were answered and that they found it to be Colon Cancer and not stomach cancer. We don't know any chemo treatment details until next week. What a relief. We celebrated with a little bit of champagne.
I spent Superbowl Sunday with Ashlee and Cioci Sharon. Thanks for the good food and company. Ashlee was a big help in making cupcakes for my class. I loved the half time show Tom Petty. We even went on line today and bought tickets to his concert in May.
My afternoon was spent with telling my students about me. It went very well. They made me a beautiful scrapbook with a picture and a poem from each of them. Lunch was spent with the teachers, my second family. It was a baked potato luncheon. Thanks Christine. It was great seeing everyone.
So that is all for now. I will be writing later on this week.

February 3, 2008 Weekend-Up Date
FRiday started off with that beautiful snow... Myles finally got a snow day! He needed it to rest and recover from his cold. He slept and I walked around my house. Boy do I wish it was summer. Jenny came over in the afternoon to challenge my brain to some Scrabble and a game or two of 10,000. Thank god for neighbors, or I would be bored out of my mind. Everyone knows I can't sit still. Dinner was brought by Sheri and Mike, it was my favorite from Nettie's. Matt and I love that place. They also brought be a beautiful bracelet with my favorite saying: Live, Love, Laugh plus a new word Dream. How cool is that. I love it!
We had a great time until the phone rang... Jac.... slid off the road and was in the ditch. Police came and a tow truck to pull her out of the ditch. Matt and Mike took off to get her, she was to upset to drive home. Also the jeep wouldn't go over 45 miles. She was by Mount Holly. She was coming home to suprise me. I told her I am not up to Surprises. I told her life is giving me enough Surprises to last a life time! It took them 2 hours to complete this mission. She is home safe and sound. Thanks Mike! Thanks Sheri for babysitting and keeping me calm.
Saturday was a slow and boring day. I went to Myles's hockey game. It was good to get out. They played hard, but they weren't on their game. Too many boys got hurt, they lost 6-1 to the first place team. They will get them next time. This is the last month for Hockey, I don't know what I will do to occupy my time. I so enjoy watching him play.
The rest of day I slept and watch movies with Jac and Matt. Jenny did sneak in a late movie with us at night, while the band practiced in her basement. A cake was brought over by my neighbor Judy, thanks ! It is a Bill Knapp's cake. Anyone who is looking for those cakes they can be found at Hollywood Grocery store.
It is early Sunday morning (7 a.m.) all our sleeping except for me! I am writing my blog. What is wrong with me, I should be sleeping. but that is what naps are for. I am trying to go to church today. I really need to go. After church my boss is coming over and we are going to write a letter to my students parents, to tell them what is going on. I think this letter will be my hardest letter ever to write. I sure do miss those kids. I am going in on Monday to tell my students what is going on. It will be an emotional day for me and them. But they are in good hands.
Coming up this week a trip to get a CAT SCAN and a tour of another place to get my chemo. I will keep you posted of how my days go. As for now we continue to pray and wait until I get my next piece to this puzzle that I am putting together.
Please keep the cards, prayers and love coming. Those things will truly help me to get through this tough time in our lives.
P.S
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE!!!! Just to let everyone know Jane and Tom did get away for a quick vacation in Cancun!!!! they are celebrating Jane's birthday. Enjoy your day dear friend, Yes I do miss you....

As always Live, Love , Laugh... one day at a time!
