Friday's chemo

I was very hesitant to post about chemo yesterday. It didn't go well. G normally jokes w/ the Dr & nurses that set up the chemo then about 30 min to an hour into the chemo he gets quiet.Yesterday he joked w/ the Dr & we talked to the Dr. I brought up the new side effect; I don't know if G wasn't going to bring it up or if he forgot. The Dr asked about some of the other side effects then deceased one of his chemo meds.When we got to the chemo room G had a frown on his face when he sat in the chair for the chemo. One of the nurses asked why he was frowning. They all love his smile; he didn't say much. If you know G he's always smiling or laughing. I asked him over & over what was wrong & he won't say or would say nothing. It was clear something was wrong. This was my first time leaving him because to run errands. I set him up w/ hid drink & left. I returned w/ about 2 hours to go to finish chemo & he was the same but I noticed he was rubbing his stomach. Their was a guy next to him hacking up a lung (coughing); he would cringe every time the guy coughed.

G got sick he really didn't make it to the bathroom. I had cooked his favorite breakfast & he lost it. We did not have a good morning.
We came straight home & he napped on the couch. I went out w/ mom because I was annoying him. He didn't say I was but I kept asking him questions & he would nod.
I asked was annoying him w/ my questions of how he was feeling & he nodded.
We are so different because I would have sd I feel crappy & please stop asking.
He will sleep most of today. He slept most of yesterday. This stinks but I know their are people worse off.

Mom & I went to buy her new cricut; she's been trying to decide which cutter she wanted. I think she really wanted me to tell her which cutter to get. I gave her all the pros & cons of them. Then I just called her & told her I think the new larger cricut express would be best for her. She will spend more in the long run but it's still a lot less than I or other scrapper that have bought many cutter system have spent.

I think she will be happy with it. It will give us gifts to buy that she will use, cartridges. I hope she gets to play w/ her new toy today.
She will keep Colin so I can go crop. Thank you mom. This will work out well because G will sleep most of today.

Well I need to go pack from my crop & load the car.

some LO (layouts)

These were scrapped last July. The photos are older from 2003 & 2005.
As you can tell I don't scrap in order. I'm also years behind.

G had a good day

G has had a tough time w/ side effects. Yesterday he was side effect free. I hope today & tomorrow are both side effect free because he has chemo Friday & it starts all over again.
I wish he had more than 3 side effect free days in the month.

We have snow this morning. Monday it was 80º.

Gymnastics/It's Super Tuesday

Gymnastics was fun last night. The advanced group was combined w/ the beginning group.
Colin's skill are between both groups. Colin is now the only boy; the 2 older boys are no longer in the class. One moved out of state; I'm not sure about the other boy.
I need to decide if I'm going to put Colin in the break dance or the hip hop class. One meets Friday nights. I'm always so tired Friday nights & don't want to do much.
Colin also wants to play basketball. They practice one day a week with games on Saturday.
Maybe next year we will think about basketball.
I'll pick one more activity. I don't want him to be one of those kids w/ an activity every night.

Please go vote; people died for some of us to have the right to vote.

I heard on the radio that there are poll issues in GA. At the time of the report the polls had

been open 30 min. Oh boy.

Superbowl

We had fun watching the superbowl at my parents. Mom prepared a nice spread of food & drink. My sister Karen & her family came too.
It's the first superbowl game I've watched from start to finish in years.
My family was happy w/ the outcome; since a couple of hometown players are on the winning team. Me, I didn't care. I'm not a huge fan of professional sports.

I was productive while I watched the game. I did wind some ribbon on floss cards & separate bling jewels by color.
My scrapbook room organizing is coming along but I have a lot of stuff.
I will buy less embellishments this yr. I now have enough. LOL
My goal is to be ready to take up the carpet by March.

K is going home

Karen is on her way home from the hospital. She was so excited. I just smiled because I remember being so ready to leave the hopsital. She seems to be doing well. My BIL went
back to work today; he had been staying at the hospital with her.
I pray she continues to do well & heal quickly.
