Fun night with the girls on Friday, hanging out with the babies on Saturday and Sunday Austin and I went to his Montessori for their annual "Gingerbread House" making day! :) Man, I thought I was prepared but when I got there, I realized how 'amateur' our little house was compared to everyone else' (it was our first year doing this). People were making cars, chimneys, santas, etc.. ALL out of candy! Sorry Austin - your mom kind of sucked at this! :( Next year I am looking online 'how to make a gingerbread house' and I am going to be the bomb! Oh wait, this isn't about 'me', it's about Austin making it!! :) Anyway, it was really a lot of fun and a blast for the kids.
After that, we headed to the beach for a family picture. We were supposed to do this a few months back but things have just been crazy so we finally did it. Camryn's one year pix are all done now. It makes me sad how big she is..... I gave her her last 'bottle' a few weeks back (she was pretty much off all bottles for awhile except her night one...that's the hardest to give up!) :( Anyway, I totally cried after I gave it to her. Probably because that's kind of the last 'newborn' thing you stop giving and I know I won't have anymore kids (the doctor's don't recommend me getting pregnant again b/c of my tumor). I am over it now but I still haven't thrown that bottle out (smile)....
OK - as for this week! Back to the fight with my treatment. The tumor is STILL growing so although I am relieved the tumor didn't grow as much as last time, I am still taking my treatment seriously. I can still lose my hearing anyday, facial function, etc....soooooooo, Sharp has a deadline to respond by the end of next week and we'll take it from there. I have covered ALL my basis (I feel) for my appeal with the state and I still feel that I have a great argument as to why I need Cyberknife and 'why' I need it up at Stanford. This won't drag out for months/years... I will know where things are by the end of Dec/beginning of January. It kills me going into 'another' month but I feel like I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so close I can just feel it! Patience is a virtue.
Today's Daily Affirmation:
"Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience." - random 'patience' quote.
Gosh that is the truth - 'when the going is hard and slow' - I know all too well what that feels like.
Hope you all had the BEST weekend ever!
Hugs -
Rachelle :)
