Just wondering how everything is going with you and your family (especially your mom). I''ve been thinking about you and hoping everything is going well.

Thritto...

If I remember correctly, your dad gave her a marvelous vacation package around the holidays. Has that trip happened yet?

Let''s us know how things are going...

 

[honey22]

I had been wondering how things have been going with your Mum, as I hadn''t seen many posts lately. You know you have lots of friends around here who are hoping that all is well and you are ok.

I''ve been wondering as well--I hope everything is going well for you.

*bump*

Just trying to keep this up there so she will see it.

 

[Smurfysmiles]

i see it i see it! lol

My mom has been doing great! She started doing her chemo about 3 weeks ago and still has yet to lose any hair or energy! My parents will be taking their vacation over valentine''s day so my mom is really getting excited about it

Sorry I haven''t been commenting much, I''ve just been so busy trying to find a stinkin real job! I hate working at a grocery that much that whenever I''m not working I''m trying to make contacts and send resumes out, etc. etc.

I haven''t spent much time with SO because our schedules are completely opposite each other which really sucks a lot but the other night we went out to see a friend who was in town from portland and the dj played strawberry wine and we were the only ones on the dance floor dancing, it was sooo romantic
its so nice to know you guys were thinking about me and my family, gives me the warm fuzzies hope you all are doing well too! i''m ready for some engagements on here!

 

[FrekeChild]

What kind of cancer Smurfysmiles?

 

[Smurfysmiles]

I''m not exactly sure to be honest, I know it''s a rare kind of ovarian cancer but she''s tackling it well

 

[FrekeChild]

I''m sorry that she''s going through everything. My mom has cancer as well. Whatever you do, if her white blood cell count gets low-do not let her go out in public or anywhere else where there are germs. No Wal-mart, grocery stores, even church. It is not worth it.

I hope everything goes well. Keep us informed with everything ok?

I''m glad to hear your mom is doing well so far. My dad had colon cancer and went through chemo and the whole bit (doing fine now), so I know how awful the whole process can be. My thoughts are definitely with you and your family - keep up the positive attitude

, and keep us posted! Good luck on the job hunt.

I''m glad your mom is doing well, Smurfy! It''s great she''s staying so positive. I''ll definitely continue to keep her in my thoughts.

 

[rubybeth]

Ohhh, that''s good. I''m so glad they''re getting to take a vacation to someplace warm.

Do you and your SO ever do ''date nights'' to attempt to spend time together even in the midst of madness/bad schedules? S and I occasionally do this and it''s fun. Plus, you can both kind of push everything else aside and just enjoy each other''s company over a drink or a meal.

 

[Smurfysmiles]

we both have saturdays off together so we usually stay home and play video games or go to movies or something, my parents have their date nights on saturdays so occasionally we double date with them lol

 

[gwendolyn]

Yay, that''s wonderful news! I''m so glad to hear that she''s such a strong person, fighting it so well! That''s great!!!

Good luck with the job search as well, m''dear! I hope you find work you enjoy soon--it totally blows to have to drag yourself to work because you hate your job!
