I've Lost Weight!!!

    
     A few weeks ago, we were at the lake when we saw something new at the local store.  This picture shows the new item and HOW MUCH WEIGHT I've lost!   Hahahaha!!!!!



This is my second week after chemo so I am feeling ok for the most part. I am finding it is taking me longer and longer to get my strength and energy back after each chemo treatment. According to the "experts", the effects of chemo supposedly aren't supposed to be cumulative but I can't say I'm buying that theory. Maybe if I could erase 30 years or so, that might help!!!    :-)

     One of the things I enjoy doing is taking my grandsons school shopping. Since school is right around the corner, I took Brody, who is seven years old, shopping yesterday. We had a great day!!! He is usually quieter than his younger brother but he talked non-stop from the moment I picked him up until I dropped him off. We talked about everything from evaporation to what a "not a through street" is to what his newest idea for an invention is! We covered the gamut! Here is a picture of him at the pet store.  He wants a kitten sooooooo badly!!!!!




Since I can't give him a kitty, we got this instead!!! We had a wonderful, fun-filled day!

 


     Today I took Logan, who is four, shopping so he can be ready for pre-school. Logan is a VERY friendly, outgoing little boy.  He must have said "Hello" to at least 500+ people today!!! Talking to that many people works up an appetite so we went for pizza.  He ate a whole personal pan pizza all by himself! While he was eating, he looked at me and proclaimed loudly, "This is the BEST day EVER!!!"
 


 
Of course, we couldn't call it a day until we had a treat so we ended up at Tutti-Fruitti!  We had such a great, fun-filled day!!!




These past two days are the very things that keep me going during this challenge!

  1. My Allie wants a kitty too, she's currently hitting up Grandma Tami for one, she even wrote about it at school. Your sweet grandsons are so lucky to be able to spend one-on-one time with you!

    1. I would LOVE to get Brody a kitty but I don't want to get in trouble!!!!! :-)
      It tickles my teacher soul to hear that she wrote about it in school! How cute!
      Brody, Logan and I had so much fun on our "shopping days!" I was the lucky one those two days.
      Good luck tomorrow morning...your first day back to school! I am just a LITTLE BIT envious...but not toooo much!!!

    1. HI Heather,
      I feel soooo blessed to have all three of my little ones, Brody, Logan, and Olivia, in my life...and to have them all three right here in West Fargo is the frosting on the cake!!!
      I have been thinking about you a lot. This is such a BUSY time for you! Remember to take some time for yourself and for your girls and hubby too!
