I will have my follow up colonoscopy on June 4th. Really looking forward to that experience again! My follow up CT scans are on June 12th. I am ready to get those over with and hopefully getting some good news.
I have been doing well. Just still really, really tired which is very frustrating for me. I have so much to do and so much to catch up on, but I just don’t have the energy to get much done at all. Even if I do nothing but go to work and come home, I’m still tired. And, of course, there are still the little rugrats that have to be fed. 
But, at least the school year is almost over and maybe, just maybe this summer will be better than last summer. I have big plans in my head, but we will see if any of those actually materialize.

Today is Saturday – a.k.a. cleaning day. Well, “cleaning” has become a relative term around here. It usually just involves trying to find the carpet in one or more bedrooms and seeing if there is still a sink somewhere in the kitchen. Although, it should be obvious because something is holding all those dishes! It also involves numerous loads of laundry which my dh (dear husband) has tirelessly done. I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve actually washed a load of clothes. He washes, dries, and folds and I then put away. Pretty good system if you ask me.
I remember that when I was growing up we always dusted, vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms and mopped on Saturdays. We (my sister and I) never really enjoyed spending our Saturdays in this way. It’s much the same here. There is usually much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth when I announce, OK, we are going to get our rooms cleaned up.
However, I have to say that today was a bit of a surprise. After the initial moaning and groaning, they began getting to work. And, then, not only did they get their rooms straightened up, they came BACK and asked what else they could do. McGrooter begged and begged to wash the dishes. So, being the ever indulgent mother that I am, I let him. He stood there saying, Wow this cool! Can I do this after every meal? Of course, I had to play it cool and just say, Well, we’ll see.
I have to admit that this has happened before and it kind of gives me the feeling of being in the twilight zone or something. But, it’s nice. I sure hope it continues when they get older. Stop laughing! Maybe it will. Don’t take away my hope!

Ok, so not an overwhelming response to the questions I left on the blog. But I guess I can understand. Apparently, it was abrupt and maybe, just maybe, a little strange considering what this blog usually contains. I have it on good authority that it took some by surprise and they actually thought I had gone off the deep end. Well, I probably have and I’ll blame it on chemo brain, the end of the school year, three kids, a messy house – you know, nothing major.
The day I first posted the questions I had gotten a whim to do something wild. Ok, not really wild, but something not practical and, for me, that’s wild. There’s a feeling you get once you’ve had cancer that almost empowers you to do the things you said you wanted to do, but never did. Because now you know that one day it really will be too late. The reality of that just smacks you up side the face. So, I thought, it’s now or never, baby. And instead of just thinking about it, I decided to act upon it.
Then, as usual, I got side-tracked and haven’t done anything else with it. I still might though. I haven’t lost that wild hair yet. It’s just something silly and stupid, so I don’t want to advertise what it is in case that wild hair gets plucked right out of reality. Anyway, it is not a job application. I don’t want to work. No, seriously, I already have a really good job. And, I don’t want to work. It’s an application to be a part of something fun, exciting, and intense. It’s a long shot that I would even make it, but at least I could say I tried. If I ever get back around to filling out the application.

I know I haven’t been blogging much lately, so I’ve lost some traffic. I get tired of checking blogs myself when there is nothing new on there. I am hoping to get much better at keeping up with the blog. I’ve read a blog lately that has had me really laughing. Check out www.thepioneerwoman.com. She has some incredible photography and some recipes I can’t wait to try when I get some energy and time back this summer.
So…I really need some help with the questions I had on my previous post. What are my best and worst qualities according to my friends? I’m filling out an application and those are two questions I have to answer. Can you help me?
Thanks!

PLEASE!
I need to know what my friends would consider my BEST and WORST qualities. If you are still keeping up with this blog, please leave me a comment listing my best and worst qualities. Come on! I can take it! I’ll explain later.
I have lots more things I would like to blog about, but just haven’t found the time or motivation to write yet. I feel guilty blogging when I should be doing 10,000 other things. So, I just sit down and read other people’s blogs. That way no one knows that I’m not doing the 10,000 other things I should be doing! Reading blogs is now my favorite past time and eater of my “free” or not so free time. Might be yours too if you are still here. So, please leave a comment and then go do something!
