11.1.11 Carpooling mom!

Well folks... I had an appointment with Radiology today. (originally if I had a mastectomy, no radiation, but since they found cancer, I now have to do radiation.) My appointment was switched to tomorrow morning, which make this a long week for me. Tonight as we were headed home from the daily activities, I cried. So weary of staying in bed in the evening while Bill races around the kids, I cried. I so want to sit on bleachers and watch my kids play. I want to run them around town from one activity to fast food because I forgot to cook dinner and we're running late (again). So we pulled in the driveway my tears drying. Bill walks in ahead of me. I pickup scattered items from the van. I walk in the house and without thinking, I say "I'm going to take them tonight. I'll go, you stay here. I'll do this. I'm gonna do this!" and...and...and I did. I became the carpooling mom. Cancer didn't stop me, chemo, radiation, surgery and a crappy attitude didn't keep me from enjoying a wonderful time with my kids. We laughed, sang, talked and LOVED! So as not to leave miss Elizabeth out of it. I picked her early up from school and we snuck home for a little nap. I held her the whole time and woke up with a sore arm and the beautiful scent of baby sweat. Ahh, I love my life! God is good and tonight I go to sleep happy with carpooling, McDonalds for dinner and a semi-relaxed hubby. God bless you all Love you, love me. love you. love me
