And there's more.....

Feeling like a terrible mother as the eldest took it upon herself to dust my bedroom shelves and lampshade. She doesn't ever tidy her room or care what she looks like but apparently my housework isn't up to scratch!  
Thursday is renamed chemo day in out house. The kids know they have to be good  and go to bed without a fuss, as, once my meds kick in I can't move from the loo for a while.  Hey ho. As we keep saying, a day of sickness is worth it, I'm still alive.

...and... Breathe....

Phew! Been back to hospital today and scans show that the chemo is working. Such a relief. We trudged up the hill to school today and skipped back down tonight. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted.  It means I can start planning ahead. I've been afraid to book tickets, holidays etc but now I'm seizing life by the horns!   The kids are still pretty oblivious to it all, which is for the best. Small one made me smile despite everything this morning. ' daddy, have a go of mammy's boobies, they are really wobbly, look!' You have to laugh even when you feel sad.
