Eight for the Week

1. Frank and Frankie went down to St Louis on a business trip. Frankie missed out on scout camp this year because we confused the date of camp. Shortly after they came home Frank was on another flight out to Las Vegas. He attended the WFG World Convention for four days. He went to several workshops, seminars and training sessions. It ended with a big Gala and than he came home. I left all week with the kids.

2. Sarah went back to live with her mother. Frank and I are in the process of saving our money to purchase a new house. We are currently looking into moving to a new place in the near future. The end of our lease is in September and we have to move because our landlord is no longer renting his condo. I hope we can find something real soon. This came as unexpected news to me.

3. I went in for my FINAL Herceptin treatment this week. I'm so excited to be all finished. It still hasn't completely sunk in. I have been going for treatment for so long it just seems like I will be going back in a couple of weeks. I have to see my oncologist every three months for the next 8 months. Than it will be once every 6 months and will eventually drop off from there. I have another mammo and ultrasound scheduled for the end of the month. I hope all is clear and looks good. I don't want to have to go through another experience like this one ever again.

4. I had a follow up appointment with my allergist and I have switched to once every 6 months. I was in trouble for only going three times with year. I was supposed to go every month and apparently became lazy about going to get allergy shots. I feel better from when I once first started 6 years ago. I can't wait to get these over also.

5. Frankie was supposed to go over to his mother's house this weekend. He ended up going to Great America with his friend. He spent the night on Friday and has been gone all day. I'm happy that he is having a great time.

6. I had to work overtime this morning and than picked up the baby from the babysitters house. We headed over to my friends house for a playdate. I have developed a friendship with my oncology nurse and we have kids around the same age. We went to the beach and had a great time! Savannah just loves to go swimming and wasn't afraid of the water. She enjoyed playing in the sand and thoroughly enjoyed herself.

7. Frank and I and a couple of our friends went out to eat dinner in celebration of my last treatment. I went to my favorite Mexican restaurant.

8. I'm getting ready to register Frankie for High School and not looking forward to early morning seminary. I'm not looking forward to getting up early every morning to drive him. It will be a struggle to get the boy up inthe morning.
